Say Yes!

I had a chance to watch "The Yes Man" movie during the weekend. It was a very entertaining movie. Jim Carey stars as generally negative man afraid to try new things in life.

A Good Laugh

I find that, even after the most stressful days, if I see or hear something that makes me laugh it seems to lift the dark cloud. Laughter can even have medical benefits. It can either help heal the sick or... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you looking for a quick way to accomplish your goals? If you are like most people, including myself, you want these goals accomplished yesterday.

My youngest daughter is in first grade. Earlier this school year we met with her teacher at open house night. The teacher had mainly good things to say.

Say My Name

"Say My Name, Say My Name.... I found myself humming this Destinys Child tune today for some reason. It's a catchy one! The song made me think about the power of a name. Are you looking for a way to positively impact the people you deal with? If so, it is necessary to understand the importance and... Sign in to see full entry.

A Simple Prayer Formula With Powerful Results

During the past couple of days I have shared some different types of prayers. Both I have discussed so far came directly from the Bible. Today's prayer method comes from a different source. One of the most inspirational books I have read is "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Prayer of Jabez

In my previous blog I touched on the positive power of prayer and the way our Lord taught us to pray. For today and the rest of the week I will discuss some other ways to put prayer power to use. These prayers do not substitute using the Lord's prayer, but they are excellent alternatives. Each of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Power of Prayer

The name of this blog is Positive Power. I was reflecting the other day about what to write about and provide examples of positive power. Then it hit me in the middle of this past Sunday's church service (that's when you know it's God talking). I was reminded of the ultimate positive power. One that... Sign in to see full entry.
