We have all heard of the proverbial “Honey Do List”. I have had many a passionate discussion with girlfriends who are married to men whose weekends are filled with football or golf. They are often overwhelmed with the endless list of things that need to be done to keep a house, a home. I hear [...]

One of my new joys this year has been joining my firstborn Grandson for Christian Rock Concerts. WhooHoo!! I do love music and I love to be “actively involved” in worship. In other words, I like to jump up and down and lift my hands and Praise the Lord! I have not gotten too old to [...]

January 13, 2010

I was at a leadership conference recently when the conversation got “heated”. We all know that “REAL” Christians know how to behave themselves, especially in a professional environment.

January 5, 2010

No, I am not talking about Belly Buttons. I am talking about restaurants. Do you like to sit inside or outside? It truly is an important question in any relationship and one that should be considered in the getting to know you phase.

Can you Imagine?

January 4, 2010

It is Monday morning January 4, 2010. I have imagined this day. I have been thinking about it for weeks, actually months, even years. I have spent the past 25 years watching God rebuild my  family and working with Him to build a local ministry. In many ways my life, as I know it today, really [...]
