WRITE YOUR BOOK

The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid …

BEYOND THE OPEN DOOR

It is an indescribable feeling when you walk through doors that only the Spirit can open. When God nudges you into an opportunity, He’s the one who knows every cell of your body and what you are equipped and not equipped to do. He has a vested interest in the success of your mission. Growing …

In Debt

One of my dear friends tells a humorous story of three brothers who gather together on each other’s birthdays. The birthday boy gets $20 from each of his brothers and then, when it’s each of their turn, they get the $20 back. She once suggested that each of them just keep their own $20 bill …

Love Hurts

Once upon a time, I ran. Not just because I was trying to get away from something or out of fear, but I once spent several years running for pleasure. I made daily laps around the track, experiencing the often-reported “runner’s high” along with the satisfaction of having completed a night’s workout. As I went …

Celebrating the Body

Have you ever broken a leg or a foot? Aside from the obvious challenges brought by the fracture, the challenge seems to snowball into other areas of the body.
