I love learning simple leadership principles and tips that make a huge difference in my life. For example, I have learned that if I feel overwhelmed with too much on my plate, I simply make a list of everything I need to do. Then I prioritize the list, and begin with the first thing on [...]
I am convinced that when we experience disappointment that comes from unmet expectations, it has the potential to throw our lives off track more than anything else we face. Hebrews 12:15 tells us: “See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and [...]
God’s Grace is His total kindness, a divine energy released into our lives by the Holy Spirit. We don’t deserve it, but when we allow ourselves to receive it, our lives are changed forever. “By the grace of God I am what I am” (I Cor. 15:10).
2018 has become history. 2019 is upon us. A new year. A new chapter. A new season.

The Bible teaches clearly, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (I Thess. 5:18), and [...]
I was once asked the question, “How do you sculpt an elephant?” I was told to find a large rock and chip away anything from that rock that does not look like an elephant. Reminds me of Romans 8:29, which says: “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of [...]
