Man In The Mirror

(If you received this post via email, be sure to click here to watch the video.) Last week I had the opportunity to see the movie Joyful Noise — “pre-release” — I liked it… …hope. perseverance. love. BUT, what really touched my heart and kept me thinking for days after were the lyrics to the

Dry Wells

Dry Well

From the archives and modified… What is a dry well?  Simply put it’s a well that is dry, one that does not produce any water.  A dry well would be one that no one returns to to quench their thirst and in most cases it would be capped of, abandoned and forgotten. …but they are

My One Word

(If you received this post via email, be sure to visit our blog today to watch the video.) It’s December. Many of us are living in and enjoying the Spirit of the Season — Christmas parties, shopping for gifts, family time, and food…lots of food.  Some of us, this month, look forward into the new

Daily KIP

Daily KIP:  Most of us have heard the popular phrase, “If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.”  This applies to ALL areas of our lives:  If you want to lose weight, you may need to exercise more or eat less, you need to make changes.  If you want to
