A while back, I was honored to be inducted into the Unatego High School Hall of Distinction for my work in writing and publishing. It was a blessing to me, and gave me an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, and the community that nurtured me. I was invited to speak to a couple of […]
Remember the little fable about the blind men who come upon an elephant? The men were trying to determine what an elephant is like. Each described the elephant from a different point of view. They concluded that the elephant was perhaps like a rope, or a basket, or a pipe. As one writer put it: […]
A few years ago, I wrote a book called Your Promises from God Today. The idea of the book was to help readers express their feelings and frustrations to God and to understand that God has an answer, a promise that He is willing to make for nearly every circumstance life presents. Since these are feelings we all […]

I kind of envy that sometimes because in the real world, even my everyday missions can feel impossible. They feel that way, but […]

After all, He had to think up a platypus and an ocean full of bizarre looking critters before He even thought about the infinite varieties of complex human beings. We can’t top His imagination […]
Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good. If you act too quickly, you might make a mistake. Proverbs 19:2, NCV Great Blunders Perhaps you think the desires of your heart are no longer possible because you’ve made a lot of mistakes.
