Make Time for God’s Word
You know you should, but you don’t, do you? I mean, who has the time? We’ve got work, there’s that meeting, dinner to make, reports to write, kids to attend to, and heaven forbid we miss this week’s episode of This is Us! So there it lays. How long has it been? A few days, weeks, months? I […]
Stop Living In Scarcity
I just sat there. Stunned. All I could think was, “you’ve got to be kidding me! They’re laying me off and giving my job back to the person I replaced?” As the HR person went on to explain whatever it is she had to say, my mind kept swirling with, “It isn’t fair! She’s the […]

Settle Down and Get to Work
When I retired after spending 30 years in affordable housing finance, I envisioned a lot of books, movies, and naps in my future. People would ask me if I was going to take a big vacation and my answer was always, “No, because there are a lot of books to be read.” Besides, I was […]
For a Time Such as This
No matter how familiar or unfamiliar you are with the Bible, I’m betting you know at least a little bit about the story of Esther. The story is dramatic as any modern-day miniseries and is one of my favorites. I encourage you to go read it for yourself. Basically Esther is chosen to be […]

How we communicate is a direct reflection of who we are. How effectively we communicate in different situations will impact whether we will succeed in various aspects of our lives or not. Do you know your communication style? Do you know when to adapt your style for different situations? Today I would like to delve into that and explain […]
Fulfilling Your Purpose
Stop for just a moment and think about the big moments in your life. The day you got married, your children were born, you received your diploma, or you reached a life-changing goal.
