I’m about to say something counter-cultural. I am grateful for COVID-19. More specifically, I am grateful for the opportunity to emerge stronger from the coronavirus craziness. The facts about the disease do not warrant the hysteria, however there is a silver lining. Facts: Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 experience mild to moderate symptomsContinueContinue reading “9 to 5 Corona Grind”

One Thing in Common
I know that you and I have at least one thing in common. There is a door opened to each of us for something beautiful to be worked out in our life. I saw the door and walked through it. Have you? If not, then look for my hand stretched out for you. Take itContinueContinue reading “One Thing in Common”
The One in You
The One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. Do you believe that? Do you see that? Kindly let me offer affirmation that it is true. Because of it, you are able to become so much more than you are right now. You are called to use yourContinueContinue reading “The One in You”
Bolt 150
If you would have told me 150 weeks ago that two things would happen on April 5, 2020: I’d be writing my 150th consecutive weekly story at MindWolves.com, and I’d be writing about my family’s Boston Terrier, Bolt. I would not have believed you. For one thing, writing has always been a weakness of mine,ContinueContinue reading “Bolt 150”
Stop Trying to Figure Everything Out
Humans make me laugh. We still don’t get it. Since the dawn of time, we’ve wanted to know and control everything. When we can’t, we get worried and stressed. Our behavior becomes irrational. Ever since we caved in to the original temptation, we’ve been on that all-knowing quest. One thing I’ve learned is that GodContinueContinue reading “Stop Trying to Figure Everything Out”
Calm, Assertive, Peaceful Energy
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I’m calmly, assertively and peacefully living my life. I refuse to sop up the hysteria and participate in the panic. There’s good news about the current state of COVID-19 that’s not being promoted. I respect the seriousness of the pandemic. It’s a highly contagious virus. I pray for the healthContinueContinue reading “Calm, Assertive, Peaceful Energy”
Panic is a Choice
True character is being revealed at the moment. Gut-level, root-level character. Facades are being removed, and we’re seeing what people are really made of. What category do you fall into? Are you so worried that you’re hoarding toilet paper, hand sanitizer, latex gloves, bleach, food, etc …? Is you’re anxiety level so high that youContinueContinue reading “Panic is a Choice”
My Limp
It may not be outwardly noticeable, but I walk with a limp. With every step I take, my limp reminds me of my vulnerability. It’s with me wherever I go. I can pretend it doesn’t exist, but that only slows me down further. My “limp” is my broken heart. My limp was actually self-inflicted, comingContinueContinue reading “My Limp”
It’s not fair.
Envy may be the ugliest emotion. It is the symptom of a deep spiritual infection in our hearts. The dictionary defines envy as a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck. Even the definition is ugly. Why do we care about what someone else has? Why is thatContinueContinue reading “It’s not fair.”
The Key
In my experience, forgiveness is not easy, but it’s the key that unlocks the door to fulfilling God’s mission for ourselves on Earth. We have to commit to self-mastery of forgiveness to clearly see our purpose and mesh it with our calling. Forgiving goes against our nature to fight back, harbor a hurt and haveContinueContinue reading “The Key”
