There is something about the drive of anyone with great ambition. That capacity to stay focused on their objective to the cost of everything else. In some ways it’s an admirable quality. In other ways it can be rather disturbing especially when applied to wicked ends. It says a lot about their appetite that they […]
Read More Appetite and the MindPraise can be a platform. A couple of years ago, I spoke with a very good friend of mine about life in Christ. He shared about how he had arranged some forums in which people could gather together and be supported. The types of gathering, he stated, was about being platform. The stage on which […]
Read More About the Platform of PraiseOne of the things to be really grateful for are working senses. Recently I was thinking about what it would be like to be deaf, especially what it would be like to gradually lose the sense of hearing completely having had it fully for a long time. It was not a cheering thought to consider. […]

Read More The Greatest Commandment (9): Valuing LifeYou ever got the impression that someone was just going through the motions. Like they weren’t even really feeling it? I have.

Read More The Greatest Commandment (2): Love God … With All Your Heart, Soul, And MindMy guy Stevie Wonder wrote a song about his daughter. He put into song the delight he took in this newborn baby and her growing impact on his life.
