Long before compound bows and graphite arrows came into being, the kind of bows with all the pulleys and cables attached, I hunted with either a longbow or recurve bow. Those simple bows were just sticks. They were a single stick of a bow with a string strung between...
I just took a truckload of debris to the dump. It reminded me of walking through my social media accounts of late. In those accounts are so many varied opinions about so much. After I paid my bill, I was directed to a large disposal center where huge tractors were...
This morning, I was reading Acts 7 where Stephen reminded a group of religious leaders of their abandoned history. The actions of Stephen took courage, especially when the existing religious system in his day also controlled the cultural power base. In some faith...

The door into the new season of your life hangs on the hinges of your attitude. What you choose to believe will become the hinge upon which the door to your future hangs. Your belief and attitude toward God and your future will determine if your door is...
