Mar 17th
This is the Family mans Creed. It goes out to all the men out there, married or single, we are still charged to live to these standards.
With Gods help I will do my best to:

Honor and Respect my Wife, loving her as Christ loves the church and faithfully demonstrating my life long commitment to providing for her needs.
Spiritually protect my Family, by consistently interceeding in prayer for their needs, establishing the Word of God as our homes final authority. Boldly declaring “As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord”
Emotionally protect my Family, by speaking words of blessings and encouragement, spending lots of time together and remembering to be slow to anger and quick to extend mercy.

The Apprentice: My Greatest Fear
Mar 5th
A series of events over the past few days have left me feeling low spirited, frustrated and defeated. I feel like a fraud and a failure. I’m not the person living the life I know I should be.I’m not achieving my goals or following my dreams. To encourage myself I decided to rewrite one of my favorite poems by Marriane Williamson, “Our Greatest Fear” that I came across in my usual morning readings.
What is My Greatest Fear
My Greatest Fear Is not that I am Inadequate, My Greatest Fear Is That I am Powerful Beyond Measure, That I can do and achieve beyond my wildest dreams It is my Light, not my Darkness That Frightens Me,
I Ask Myself, who am I to be Brilliant and Wise? Who am I to be Wealthy and Respected? Who am I to be Handsome and Loved? Who am I to be Talented and Fabulous?
But the real question is, Who Am I not To Be? I am a Child Of God, a Prince in His Kingdom. My playing small does not serve the World.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that others won’t feel insecure around Me. I was born to manifest the Glory Of God within me. It is More >
Discovering the Apprentice’s Core Values
Jan 11th
A couple of months ago, I was speaking with the Rogue King, about what drives us to do the things we do and make the choices that we do. He suggested to me that perhaps we should look deeper, to our core values.
So what are our core values? Well simple put they are the things we believe in the most that direct what and how we think about our life. There are hundreds of values that we each hold but some hold more power over us than others. For example some peoples core value is love. For others it’s family or power, money, religion etc.
It is important for us to know and choose our core values are because they color everything we do in life. It’s like our constitution. A person whose core value is Family for example will make all decisions about what they do around their need for family. The career he chooses, the car he drives, the type of person he marries. It’s all connected.
I decided to look at my own core values and I thought I’d share with you what I have chosen to be my guiding values in order to achieve my dreams and life purpose.
