“I love epiphanies. They are those moments when you suddenly understand, or become conscious of something.
There is never a time when God is not revealing Himself, revealing our identity, and giving us opportunities that transforms our thinking. Walki
Shame and regret are twin toxic enemies. Our soul and spirit will not flourish believing their insidious lies. They have been two of my nemesis. Their 'damning' tentacles reach deep into the core of our being. Their dark message: you will never measu
Is life like a box of chocolates? It can be. This may strike you as being rather odd. The one's who laugh the most are generally healthier. In every respect they handle life simply and childlike. I mean physically, emotionally, spiritually and relati
