  • The Call

    You hear it screaming in your head. It is the call to action. Yet, you shrink and shirk the responsibility. You are afraid of what answering that call might mean. You know that it is for you. Every direction that you turn, evidence of that call exists. Yet, you fail to acknowledge it and take…

  • Faith

    Faith, it’s something that you have, or something that you don’t. Is it truly that simple? Are life’s major questions, so simple that they can be broken down such as this. The truth is, no they cannot. As much as we want to believe that our lives are simple, they aren’t. In fact, they are…

  • My legacy

    As I journey through life, I oft times struggle with what my legacy will be. As if, this is something I get to determine by conscious thought. The truth of the matter, my legacy will be determined by those who survive me and the impression I made on them. It is their interpretation of my…

  • Tragedy

    As a society, where have we gone wrong? Obviously, something changed within us as a people because we see so many horribly, tragic attacks taking the lives of innocent people. Yet, we are agitated for several days and then go back to our normal life, because for the most part, the attack did not directly…

  • My Story

    My Story Another morning, another blank page staring at me, waiting for my pen to scratch my life experience and wisdom. Waiting for me to tell once or to tell once again a story, an experience or an observation. And here I sit, struggling, pen in hand but no wisdom or anecdote readily flows on…

  • Mindset

    Mindset Do you ever wonder what dictates success? If everything is equal and genetics plays no part, what determines who will succeed and who will not? Who has the wherewithal to struggle through and not acquiesce? Who does not fail, but learns and applies the learned lessons to conquer? It is all about mindset. You…

  • Perspective

    Perspective Over the last two weeks, I spent some time fellowshipping with high school classmates. Some I have not seen in close to forty years, others I have seen in five year intervals, and an even smaller number that I interact with more often than every five years. Some of these folks I consider good…

  • Mind Over Matter

    Change your thoughts and you change your world. ~~Norman Vincent Peale~~ The power of the mind is underestimated. The power of perception is incredible. What we perceive we believe. The temptation to accept the negativity around us as real is overwhelming. If we choose to see positive, we will find positive. The more we believe…

  • Change

    It is not a secret that we need to change. As an individual, I must change some of my habits to make me a healthier and wealthier human being. There are changes needed to make me a better human. Making these changes depends wholly on me making the decision to make the effort to make…

  • Done enough?

    I found a memory today on Facebook. The memory focused on the NCAA March Madness from 2021 when the inequity of the facilities for the teams competing in the Men’s and Women’s tournament. The article I posted that day redirected my friends to a quote from Dawn Staley, Head Coach, University of South Carolina Women’s…
