The way I choose my #oneword for the new year is by first understanding my assignment for the coming year. The process takes about three months of prayer, study, meditation and consecration. I start October 1st each year. My assignment for 2020 is “more me” and I’ve been tossing it around for over six weeks.… Continue reading Why I Chose My One Word For 2020

I would race to get all the right answers. Recently, I turned on a national news channel. After about thirty… Continue reading What’s New? Not Much.
Fearless people scare me because fearlessness often leads to foolish behavior. The KJV of the Bible translates 2 Timothy 1:7 as "God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." People quote it all the time and some folks say there is never a… Continue reading Fear Gets A Bad Wrap
