The Universe is in a constant state of change. And guess what? We are not in charge of it.

Most of us like to plan our lives. We like to have a sense of where we are going, what we are going to accomplish, etc. This is a good […]

Today is Ash Wednesday. For Christians it begins the season of Lent where we do repent and fast. It is the 40 days that lead to the death and rise of Jesus Christ.

Yikes, this is what I get when I don’t follow my normal process. I usually sit down at the computer once a day. I do my email and write my blog and maybe a little bit of other writing. Today, I came in to do email because I needed […]

Just a little bit…extend ourselves just a little bit. That is what we are being asked to do today.
