Names are important. We use names for everything, and every name has a meaning. I believe, because the Bible says so, that words have the power of life and death. Therefore, since names are words, they are very powerful. We name our children, our pets, our towns, our businesses, and even our cars. I decided to change the name of my blog to reflect where I am at right now in my view of the world around me. So often we wait and want and pray for the BIG thing that will make a big difference in our life. The problem is that it's the small things that make the BIG difference. Daily disciplines like reading the Bible, praying with your kids, telling your wife she is beautiful, going to the gym....these are the things that make life an experience worth being part of. Ya, sure, winning a $650 million lottery could change your life, but the odds are that it wont happen. A new house may be nice, but sooner than you think it will be a pile of rotting lumber. That phone call you've been waiting for from that big company you want to work for may turn into a 24/7 job that you cannot escape. So, I choose to focus on the small things that make a big difference. Hence, the new name of my blog, "Small Things, Big Difference". Our church is starting a new series with the same title that I know will bless you. I will post the link when the message is online, so stay tuned for that. Speaking of church, you should find one and start going. If there is a LifeChurch.tv campus near you (click here to find out), I highly recommend checking it out. If you live near Duncan, OK, I love my church- RawChurch.tv. If neither of those options are available, go online and check out churches in your area. You may find that being part of a local church ends up making a big difference in your life. Don't waste your time waiting for that one big thing....its the small things that make a BIG difference. Have a great 2014!
