People who have made major life changes cannot live “in the shadows” of their old lifestyles. There must be a deliberation as we go through our days, months, years…our lives. How can we afford to do less? If we “ad-lib” our lives, old habits will creep back in…if we are not thinking about the changes [...]

During the age of Innocence, the desire to procreate was as natural and joyful as the enjoyment of watching a beautiful sunrise. Mankind had no need or desire to elevate the gift of sexual intimacy beyond any other gifts and blessings from the Creator.

If you are living a life that is less than honest…if you are pretending to be “happy” when you are actually sad or angry or pretending in any of thousands of other ways: you will be empty and unhappy.

Most of us understand that from sunrise and all throughout the day, we are faced with evil.

We have an enemy [...]

The group of prison inmates we worked with this week touched my heart…touched my heart like no group has ever touched me before.
