Labor Day is the unofficial ending of summer in the United States. Officially, it was founded in recognition of the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country.
For me it ushers in the beginning of the holidays. This weekend is devoted to planning and prepping.
So on that note, I’m taking the day off to celebrate with friends and family.
Happy Labor Day, y’all!

Frankly, On Faith.
How often do we ask God for something based off what we think we need to get there?
Our life-filter is our own experiences, our own thought processes. But in doing so, we muddy God’s waters. We get caught up in our own mire rather than His refreshing life streams. We try to forge our own path holding old maps so close to our eyes we can’t see where we’re really going.
The best thing we can do is to get out of God’s way, and stop putting up our own detour signs to direct Him. After all, we’re not the architect of this world, He is. He knows which path we should be on, and when we shift focus from us to Him, we’re more able to see it.
God is not a God of the middle man. He’s a God of the end result.
Too often, we live life looking in our fogged-up mirrors. We view the world over our shoulder, based on a distorted glance at past experiences. God is asking us to pick up a clear window and look ahead. To look at Him in front of us, and to invite others to share the view.
God doesn’t care what’s behind us. He only cares that we keep moving forward.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart:
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.”
~Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT
Let’s drop the mirrors and pick up a window, and just see how much more of God we can invite others to view with us. Where we see gravity, He sees the limitless universe.
Let’s shift our focus from what we think to what He knows, and see where He wants to take us.

Frankly, My Dear . . . : 3 is the Key
Ever wonder why you see the same ad on TV during every commercial break for your half hour show? Studies show your audience is more apt to trust you and your service or product after three notices. The same is true for your social media presence.
Frankly, My Dear . . . : 3 is the Key
First, build your relationship. This is where you show more interest in knowing your audience than marketing your product or service. Second, show up again. Like a friend who invited them to coffee and follows through. Or that phone call you said you’d make. Just let them know you’re still in the wings. Third, remind them what you have to offer. This can be as subtle as adding your business name to a photo or meme, or a full-blown statement of what you or your company can do for them.
Frankly, My Dear . . . : 3 is the Key
You can change it up a little, but keep the theme of your message the same. Remember, you don’t want to drown your audience in redundancy. Your primary goal should be building relationships. And all healthy relationships are a two-way street. Get their attention. Maintain their attention. Offer them what they need. They always say third time’s the charm.
