If we could extend just a little grace to our family members, co-workers (and if you are a coach, to your players AND their parents), we could then have more joy and God would be pleased. “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” (Donald Miller) “Let …
We should never confuse God with life. Life is uncertain, but God is faithful. “When uncertainty keeps you up at night, then close your eyes and think of something that is certain. – God’s Love.”(Unknown) “Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.”(1 Peter 5:7) Keith MadisonSCORE International
More than ever before we need wisdom in order to navigate this journey called life. Our own voices, entertainment and electronic devices prevent us from listening to the voice of reason…the voice of Wisdom.

He does. “The soul is never less alone than when it is alone with God.”(Samuel Chadwick) Jesus said:“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”(Matthew …
