Read More A Choice To Make“You don’t know what you’re doing.” The fans chant this to the manager as his team concedes yet another goal that confirms yet another defeat in a run of poor results. The standards of the club would not allow for much more of this. The owner had thought he made the right selection choosing this […]
Read More God the Builder – He Knows What He’s Building: A ParableConflict is a reality. Any effort to do something is often met with resistance. Sometimes that opposition can come from within, sometimes it can come from external sources. The conflict can appear relentless and sometimes oppressive.
