Life is hard. Sometimes it seems like every time you get on track, something knocks you back down.
If you ever feel like giving up, just step away for a brief time. But whatever you do, don’t quit. Quitting is never an option…

Help is Available
Mental health has been shredded during the past two years due to isolation. We are hardwired to be in relationship with each other. Anxiety and depression are up over 25%. Suicides and suicidal ideation are soaring, too.
There is help available. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, anxiety or contemplating taking your life, please call someone. Life is precious, and you can have a fulfilling life with purpose and meaning. Take the brave step and seek help. Don’t suffer in silence…

The Silence of Fear
Most people are living in fear of something. The genesis of fear can be traced to the past. Perhaps we have experienced loss and are afraid of losing again.
Fear remains silent because we don’t want to be seen as fearful. Facing our fears frees us from the hold the past has on us, allowing us to experience more from life.
Do you want to live fully? Face your fears and they become powerless over you…
My Interview With The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton
The Reverend Dr. Daryl Horton has a remarkable humility about him. In our conversation, we discussed his calling to the ministry, his challenges getting there, the “rules of religion,” and how God has always shown up. Have you ever wondered how a pastor gives a eulogy for someone they don’t know? Or are you curious about how prayer works? It’s all there and more in our interview.
Reputation
Recently, a reporter resigned from a nationally-known newspaper because she falsified her sources. Her reputation has been ruined.
Our own reputations are on the line every day. The world is watching how we conduct ourselves. People might believe something about us that is untrue, but honesty and integrity win out every time.
It is my hope that the reporter does the hard work to restore her reputation. And I also hope the world will give her another chance. If she is true in her contrition, she will find restoration. If she’s not sincere, well…
Dividing Lines
The news media and the politicians like to point out our differences to keep us divided. Don’t fall for it.
The truth is, everyone is unique. Even identical twins have different fingerprints! Another truth is, we are more alike than we are different…
Value
There is a trend in the United States that has been growing for quite some time. And the trend is not a good one. In fact, it’s disturbing.
What I’m talking about is the belief that we are entitled to certain things just because we were born. This is not true. We aren’t owed anything.
We have opportunities in the U. S. not everyone has. It’s up to us to take advantage of what’s in front of us. Only a lazy person would accept whatever comes along.
We value what we earn…
Solutions
Every problem our world faces is a problem of the heart. When you get your heart right, worthwhile actions follow…
Thank You
I have observed an increase in rudeness over the past several years. Simple niceties like opening doors and saying ‘thank you’ are becoming rarer and rarer. I’m guessing this is because we are busier than we’ve ever been, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
To all of my followers who read my work, thank you! I appreciate every one of you. You have a choice in how you spend your time, and I’m honored you spend a few moments with me…
Memorial Day
