Life after death?! Absolutely! And WE can choose our destination! Do you ever think about what happens after your life here on earth is finished? Do you believe in heaven and hell? More importantly, do you know where you are going? How? Why? Don’t want to think about this? Don’t believe in either heaven or hell? What […]
[This originally started as an article for the church’s newsletter… until I read what I wrote and decided I wanted to share it with a wider audience.] I would contend that one, you are far better than you think you are, and two, you can do far more than you think you can, just not
Hurts and Highs… we all experience both… what do we do with them, how do they define us? Will you look life squarely in the eye and say… actually, what will you say? You do realize that both highs and hurts give us opportunities to learn.? We never seem to stay in one place long… for every
