Yes, I do write a great deal about faith. It has so many attributes, aspects, and applications that I probably always will. Bottom line: I believe faith is indispensable, critical for us to live a full and fruitful life. Recently I heard another comment – (paraphrased) the thing about faith is that it’s always there […]

Mean what you say? Clarity of message? Perhaps the question should be, do you listen to what you say? If you heard you, would the message be clear and understandable? Honestly… what’s more important to you – the message or your recognition? If the message isn’t the focus, emphasis then why bother getting upset when

Both important. Just like we can’t always live in the rarefied mountaintops, we can’t continually live in the valleys (and stop seeing valleys as negative, stressful, unforgiving).

Humble. Meek. Do we really know what these words mean? Or do you think you know? And what kind of behavior demonstrates these words?

What you do now begins to determine what a year from now becomes. What do you want it to look like, who do you want to be? What do you plan – plan, not just hope – will you have accomplished? What will next year look and feel like? Granted, you can’t see tomorrow from
