  November 02, 2009 • Jeremie Kubicek

• Patience as a Strategy

  December 19, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "God uses kindness and patience to get people to understand how much he loves us. We then repent of our ways and finally see God as he is - a loving Father, not a strict or harsh God.

• Bailouts

  December 03, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "To be bailed out means that you are in jail.  America is in prison to its debt.  Debt was created out of envy and greed of the people, by the people.  Reality shows that the majority of prisoners return to jail.  May we truly be liberated, repay our debtors and flee from the cellblock of debt. "

• Perspective

• Want vs. Need

  October 15, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

• Hope

  October 03, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "Hope is a friend of mine.  She is more kind to me than I am of her.  I tend to ignore her or forget about her until I need her.  I wish I had the presence to walk with her and treat her with the respect she deserves.  Only then will I become the very person I hope to become. "

• Worry

  September 25, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "The gnat of worry is a hideous thing.  It spoils the best dinners and feast with friends.  It hinders the best of moments.  It distracts attention from the grand to the small.  Worry is an insistent irritant.  The only way to isolate it is to smash it.  Only then can you live and breath with vigor. "

• Awakening

  September 02, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "There is a moment when a person realizes that they have become what they never wanted to become.  They are what they once feared.  It is in that moment that have been given another chance to awaken to who they were meant to be. They have the opportunity to rise up out of slumber or fall back into the depths of their numbness. "

• Power of Partnership

  June 20, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek

  "There is nothing better than a good partnership in business.  It is like a great marriage, it doesn’t get any better.  Those who say partnership doesn’t work was probably never a good partner.  A true partner gives 100% and receives 100%.  It is not 50/50. "

• Faith and Direction

  June 05, 2008 • Jeremie Kubicek
