The night before a trip with my family, we stayed at a hotel in a city near the cruise port. When we got up in the morning, we went down to the dining area for the continental breakfast. My father sat at the table on a chair with four wooden legs and a piece of…
Best Effort
I chose the image for this posting for a solid reason. If you were to ask me to guard this goal, I would gladly tell you that I will try to. The man in the picture is not trying, he is guarding it. The man is fully committed because he has lunged his body in…
Job Life
For all that you have been given, what have you given in return? So many things are taken for granted. If we were to create a list of everything we received, both tangible and intangible, the list could be quite a long one. Tangible things include shelter, a bed, clothing, food, and anything else manifested…
Silence after Prayer
Just because it is silent after a prayer doesn’t mean God is not listening. Nor does it mean God approves of what it is you are praying for. In the rush of decision making nowadays, we want an answer immediately. As a Christian though, I want to pray about decisions before making them, especially for…
Mind your Business

Where am I?
If you look for anything positive at all, whether it be reading material or something to listen to, it means a part of you desires change. It is often said that we should find someone who has what we want and learn from them. Depending on how they got it, that could be great advice.…
$2 Integrity
What is your integrity worth to you? Is it a specific dollar amount? Chances are you probably haven’t thought about it. Yet, there are opportunities that will come your way in which you outright declare to the world the value of your integrity. It is a point at which a line is crossed. If you…
You’ll be Sorry
What are you waiting for, an apology? If someone has wronged you, it may not have been intentional. Even if it was, how long will you wait to hear them admit they were wrong? Are you prepared to wait a lifetime? Might want to consider because it might just take that long. People don’t like…
