Success Attributes – Faithfulness
I would like to tell you that the week after I wrote about Patience, I intentionally wrote this week’s blog two days late to test you. I would like to tell you that, but the truth is I am simply late. Hopefully I did not make you suffer too long 😊. Through my life experience…

Success Attributes – Patience
Each of us has what we can refer to as an “Achille’s heel”; that one faulty attribute that, if unchecked, will ultimately cause us to fail or, at least, miss out on reaching our full potential. Identifying this trait on our own is possible but difficult, so engaging someone you trust to help you find…

Success Attributes – Knowledge
All of us want to be successful; none of us wants to fail. The question is, “what are the common attributes that successful people exhibit?” It is intentional that I have titled this post “Success Attributes” as opposed to “Leadership Attributes”. This writing is not for a limited audience of those that want to be…

Sex, Guns, Power & Prayer
This week we’ve had to absorb the devastating news of a racially motivated shooting in Buffalo, the breaking report of sexual abuse & cover-up scandal within the SBC, and another shooting in a Texas school. I am heartbroken, and just those few words can in no way convey the actual weight of it all. I…

Why We Weep
Every day in our world, there are events that shake us. Events that remind us of the depravity of humans, events that are simply unfair, and events that cause us to reflect inwardly about our own human failings. Mass shootings, disease, strife, rage, gossip and the like. It seems that our lives will be consumed…

An Allegory: Part One
Hello. My name is Meek-One. I am a sheep. As I survey my surroundings, I see those with names like Wolf-Man and Lion-Hearted that mean me harm. They are my mortal enemies, and they would consume me in an instant. Cutting me down, wounding me, leaving me crippled and dying is their aim. I see…

R-E-L-A-X
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it…

Good different
I do not often recommend a specific article or book. I do not usually re-tweet or share posts. In my experience, all too often people jump to the conclusion that the recommender agrees 100% with everything stated in the resource. Much of the ensuing dialogue, then, is about nit-picking the pieces that people disagree with.…

Thank God It’s Friday
This Sunday is the day we set aside to celebrate Easter. As with most of our holidays that have real significance, we will tend to minimize it to an Easter egg hunt, new clothes, and family dinner. Easter Sunday is a worthy celebration for what it really is. The empty tomb is the symbol that…
