When Your Calendar Gets Hijacked
Why Flexible Rigidity Isn’t Just a Nice Idea, But a Survival Skill Today was not the day I planned. I was going to share more about journaling and how it helps me be more productive. Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Have you ever had one of those days where your calendar might as […]
How Do We Explain What We Don’t See?
Some Things Are Just Hard to Explain Life is full of things that are hard to explain. Things that happen without any clear understanding or tangible concrete evidence. I can’t explain how this computer that I’m writing this post on works, but it does. It’s amazing how this happens. Pastor Lisa started a sermon series […]

What Do You Trust In?
It Takes Courage to Have Faith Trust and Obey is a well know song that I remember singing in church as a kid. Of course, there are some older than I, whom I’m sure also remember it. It has been around since 1887 after all. To trust and obey can be hard. Especially if we […]

What Should Be Done First?
An Example of a To Do List Triage We’ve been discussing how crazy busy life can be, especially when running a business.

Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life
We Can Choose to Believe This or Not Choice is a superpower that too often gets overlooked and under used. We’ve been given free will, but more often than not, we ignore it. Too much of the time we get sucked into the perspective that this is the life I have, and I just have […]
