Excuses Are Out the Window
The year 2011 is almost over and we’re about to cross over into the year 2012. So much has happened and there is so much yet to come. It would be so easy for us to become disenfranchised by the state of the economy, the job market and the level of unemployment, the housing market […]
Would You Be Ready?
We’ve all seen the impact of Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, and a host of many other businesses that have made great strides in the world in which we live and the influence it has had on our lives. As I reflect on this year and the coming year and the future of my life, what […]
Ants and Slugs
It can become very easy to become depressed during this time of year. With many people making holiday preparations, we tend to forget the elderly, those who have lost loved ones, their jobs, homes and other property, and countless other things that may induce depression for them.

All Maxed Out
It’s not uncommon for us to become drained from the hustle and bustle of our everyday activities. We all have lives that seem to become a flurry of events as we take on more and more tasks in our family affairs, careers and ministries. When your calendar seems to have fewer empty spaces than full […]
What is it Worth to You?
In a day and age in which cash is king, many people really don’t consider the things that are of more value. I was thinking about this a few days ago as God was speaking to me about names. I’ve always known that a name can make all the difference in a person’s life. […]
