When We Simply Appreciate Life, We Live in

               More Abundance, Health and Prosperity




               Abundance is a state of mind – an attitude – a condition to live in.


               Abundance and the abundant life are terms that are kicked around like
               we knew what they meant. I’m ‘The Gospel Coach,’ and I know this is
               also true with most people about the gospel. Everyone has heard the

               term ‘gospel,’ but most are hard-pressed to define it and know
               anything at all about it.


                               The gospel is God’s ‘good news of good things.’
                                  It is his way of blessing us out of our socks,

                                 so living a gospel life should be a goal of ours
                                                  if we are believers.


               One of the things we are given in the gospel that we should be grateful
               for is ‘the abundant life of Christ.’ It is just one of God’s many gifts.





               Appreciate All the Opportunities We Have to Learn


               Do you realize we can never run out of things to learn about? We live in
               what is called ‘the information age,’ and if you only look on the
               internet, you’ll find more things to learn about than you can imagine.


               There is a saying I’ve always applied to my life, “If anyone thinks he

               knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.” No matter
               how smart we ever get to be, there are always people smarter, and

               things we could know more about.


               I’m a lawyer and I like to joke: “I’ve been educated beyond my
               intellect.” Just because we lawyers are highly educated doesn’t mean
