We are a society of fast.

How big are your problems?

Isolation is necessary.

To get the correct information you have to use the correct query.

What are we willing to risk to share our faith.

View Details

We are often so busy we forget to rest.

View Details

Choose wisely. Build well.

Tough subject. I pray I did the topic justice.

Music soothes the soul and much more.

View Details

It’s great to be different. Try it and see.

I don’t like being frustrated and am trying to learn to manage that emotion in a mature manner.

View Details

It is that time of year but I don’t really like New Year’s Resolutions.

Sports and the competition that accompanies can be used to build character.

View Details

We could all be a little more thankful.

View Details

Not a strength but maybe a necessity. Enjoy.

I give you permission to have a good cry.

View Details

Apple’s latest hardware announcement introduced some great hardware. This is my short take on the event.

The young might learn more quickly but that doesn’t mean, that as we grow older, we have an excuse to stop learning.
