A Laugh a Day Keeps the Grumpy Away
Ever feel like everything is going wrong some days? You have the feeling of "Why me?" when it comes to having a bad day. Thoughts in your mind start to brew about what bad you have done to someone in order for the "What goes around, comes around" adage to manifest. Well, you are not …
8,000 Push-ups… AGAIN
Around June, I was contemplating whether I wanted to do my push-up challenge again. Last year, there were nearly 10 people who committed to doing the challenge with me, but only one finished with me to the end. This year, the motivation was not there. I frequent the gym, and love to lift weights and …

Don’t Talk To Me…
You ever open a door for someone, and they just go right past you without saying "Thank you"? What about go to a check-out counter of a restaurant, grocery store, or department store, and instead of "hello", you get, "How can I help you?", followed by vigorous bar code swiping, and price tallying without looking …
All I Need Is You… Am I There Yet?
I was listening to a song today by Erica Campbell of the group Mary Mary, and Jonathan McReynolds. The song is called, "All I Need Is You." Very cool and reflective tune, and the mood had me thinking: have I really committed all of myself to Jesus? Is that even possible? I have not made a cemented …
Not Feeling Well…
It's been a while, but that is the joy of writing and blogging - many of us always have something to write about, but different cares and responsibilities come in and force itself in from the mental thoughts you want to translate on paper or on a computer screen.
