It has become an honor to be known as the busiest person around. Has this become the culture of America? I hope not. We must make time for what matters most: people. If we gain wealth but have no real friends and our family merely tolerates us, we aren’t winning the game of life. Examine your focus. Recommit to the people who care about you…

Spectator Sports
I love watching great athletes. My dream when I was a teenager was to play safety in the NFL. My dream wasn’t to become a reality because I didn’t possess the physical gifts to play at that level. So I’m content being a spectator.
Life isn’t a spectator sport, though. We must get in the game every day and give it everything we have. All of us are gifted in some special way. You know your talents. Use them for the benefit of others. You will benefit, too…
Death and Taxes
Benjamin Franklin told us the only certain things in life are death and taxes. Old Ben left out a few. Today’s short examines another certainty in life…struggles.
Anger
There are times when we should get angry. It should piss us off when we learn of child abuse, sex trafficking, physical and emotional abuse. Jesus got angry when he saw how people were disrespecting The Temple…God’s house. He made a whip to drive out the animals and traders.

Your Voice

Times Really Does Fly!
Today is my 65th birthday. While many people think of that as retirement age, retirement has never crossed my mind. In fact, I’m more ambitious now than I have ever been. There’s much to accomplish to continue bringing light into the lives of others. We are born into a period of time that is according to God’s plan, and every life has a greater purpose. Find yours and pursue it with everything you have in you. Age exists only in our head and our heart…
