Do you have many you’s? Not unusual… many people do. However, it will entail a bit of a juggling act and knowing which you to present to which ‘group’ when you are with the world. Quite honestly…….. is it worth it? And what do you gain when you do this? Isn’t it tiring? I really […]
Have you ever asked yourself if you’ve done anything to ‘validate’ your birth and potential? I will always argue that I believe we all are born with potential. Do you believe this? The next question is – do you know what your potential is related to? Are you fulfilling it? One of the first pieces

Is the same passion,the same zeal that marked you when you were saved still expressed in who you are and what you do? If the passion isn’t still marking your life…what is?

Profound, according to Webster: “having intellectual depth and insight; difficult to fathom or understand; characterized by intensity of
I would argue that the biggest burden we try and carry is one that we don’t need to. That burden is identified and is two-fold: unconfessed sin and accepting forgiveness for confessed sin. There are a number of scriptures that speak to this, among them: 1 Peter 5:6-7, Psalms 55:22, 34:15, etc. “If you hide
Perhaps a bit of a ‘duh’ but understanding is based in learnings. The next ‘duh’ is that this is never one and done, it is always a continuous discovery, thus in layers.
