I was reading something this past week, and I came across the word avarice. I did not know what it meant so I looked it up. It means extreme greed for wealth or material gain. Simply said, it’s the love of money. It is when money is your first love and your motive behind everythingContinueContinue reading “Weed Killer for the Mind”

Would You Like Room for Grace?
I’ve discovered the fountain of youth. I’m not referring to a mythical spring that restores the physical youth of anyone who drinks from it or bathes in its waters, but I am talking about an authentic feeling of youth. Getting old is inevitable, however, feeling old is not. With the proper attitude, we can beContinueContinue reading “Would You Like Room for Grace?”
Let’s Just Agree to Disagree
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about a controversial local issue in our community. We were both passionate about it, and we both had formed our narratives about it.

Play to Your Weakness
We all have strengths and weaknesses. I believe God gives us both, and therefore, I am grateful for both. It’s natural to think of a strength as an asset, but what about a weakness? What if the most valuable asset God has given you to steward is not a strength, but a weakness? We oftenContinueContinue reading “Play to Your Weakness”
Train to be Fordriven
Like professional athletes training for a sport, we have to train to build the skill, endurance, and habits to be successful in life.

Rising Early in Dark Days
It’s hard not to wake up to an onslaught of negative news. Sadly, it’s the norm. Traditional media and social media are ladened with hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, immorality, and impurity. These are the fruit of the Flesh. In fact, they make waking up hard to do. Contrast that with theContinueContinue reading “Rising Early in Dark Days”
