http://dadsdevotions.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. God Works for Our Good. Romans 8:28. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”. The assurance has two conditions. It is for those who love God and whom are called according to his purpose. This is not meant to be a test or some high hurdle over which we cannot jump. (Do I love God enough? Do I understand his exact purpose for my life? Thursday, September 25, 2008. How to Love God. John 10:9-10&...

Dad's Devotions: March 2009
http://dadsdevotions.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2009. Leadership: Build Ownership of the Vision. Amos 3:3. “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? A couple of new ideas started floating around in my head:. 8211; People desire input; they want to contribute on the ground floor to something big; they desire ownership. 8211; People want to see themselves and their personal vision in the bigger vision of the organization; they want to connect their dream to the organization.

Dad's Devotions: Leadership: The Only Thing That Counts
http://dadsdevotions.blogspot.com/2009/03/leadership-only-thing-that-counts.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. Leadership: The Only Thing That Counts. Galatians 5:6. “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”. As Christian leaders, all that we do and how we do it must be rooted in love. If we are followers of Jesus, the scripture above makes it clear that our faith must manifest itself in loving others. This is not a suggestion – it is. The only thing that counts. So check yourself here. In developing a vision, goals and strategies, are you motivated by love?

life goes on: The gold.
http://ulla-life.blogspot.com/2008/10/gold.html
Monday, October 06, 2008. Did I wake up again in an endless field of some already known non-existence? Difficult to touch it. Well, I was thinking were do all our dreams go? Where lives the freedom of my dreams and all those realities? And then I was thinking where do all the people go? Where do we all live? Surrounded by our own fears, extasies and loneliness. I hugged a dog today, and its eyes were full of love. So I was thinking how does it look in Dogs' Heaven? It is the gold. Monday, October 06, 2008.

Sunday, December 10, 2006. Tomatos-Killers" or Tomato Party. In this crazy time of violence and artistic creativity a couple of my friends have shot a movie "Tomatos-Killers" which is devoted to the red, round beauty and everydays' mysticism. Days, month and years passed till all the thoughts and insane visions finally got collected, processed through, edited and came on the screen as one entirity in some historical flat in the heart of Riga city. The movie was incredible, astonishing, frightful and very...

Dad's Devotions: October 2008
http://dadsdevotions.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. All this is to say that we have no clear “forward look” to our business. This kind of uncertainty is a faith-builder! But while I can’t see what if any work we’ll be doing a couple of months from now, I can look back over the dozen plus years we’ve been in business and see God’s faithful hand at work. And read the following verses with confidence – our God is faithful at all times and in all situations! Psalm 89:8 O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? Lamentations 3:22-23 Becaus...

Dad's Devotions: Leadership: Develop a Vision
http://dadsdevotions.blogspot.com/2009/03/leadership-develop-vision.html
Monday, March 2, 2009. Leadership: Develop a Vision. Proverbs 29:18. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”. We talked last time about finding your passion, your “holy discontent.” Having a just cause to pursue is vital, but pursuing it to what end? If God blessed your efforts to make a difference, what would the result look like? A good vision walks the line between being big and broad enough to elicit a WOW! A good vision almost always comes with a feeling that this could only happen if God mak...
