    Some of us are morning people and some of us are night owls. When I was young I would have thought that I would be a night owl forever. I can remember hanging out with friends after work until three or four in the morning. I even took overnight shifts, because I enjoyed being up…

    I had to snicker the other day, as my older brother told me that in his new job he was learning how to use a computer. He said he didn’t even know how to copy and paste until he took the job. I wasn’t laughing at him, but just the realization that something I take…

    Too many of us are people pleasers, or we simply like to help others out. Maybe we don’t like to let others down. The truth is if you’re like me, you struggle with this area of life. I’ve worked in ministry and teaching, jobs based on helping others. The drawback is that saying no is…

    The most confident person I know isn’t someone everyone may think is the most intelligent. He isn’t who someone would think is famous. He isn’t someone who would appear to be the most outgoing person in the room. His confidence doesn’t see recognition or fame and fortune. His confidence doesn’t flow from any of the…

    Many people dream of mansions, yachts, or homes with a pool out back. Give me a small home with space to go outside and hike, take photos, hunt, or simply set and listen to nature’s sounds. My dream isn’t so far away, but is the place my family owns, and my parents live. I enjoy…

    Watching the snow out the window today reminds me of my childhood. When the snow was falling steadily like it was today, and I would be at my grandmother’s home she would often get into the baking mood. Well, the truth is that she would cook anytime anyone stopped or visited with her. Sometimes, especially…

    This past fall life threw us into a tailspin, and everything was changing. Losing a job, facing a group of people twisting the truth, attacks on personal character affecting other work and life, and losing our housing. Worry for the future and severe anxiety sat in, and for the first time in my life, I…
