    I believe all of us subconsciously want to be creative. This is a very human trait and probably what makes the difference between us and the animals.

    To avoid confrontation is to avoid the inevitable. We avoid it because of fear. Would you let your child be beat up? No. You would fight. It doesn’t matter what philosophy you have when you are actually in a fight, you will fight back. We have our giants, our bully’s, but we need not be afraid, ...read more

    60 FOR 60 I have a suggestion: Try 60 for 60. Say that with me, "60 for 60." For sixty days, set your watch or whatever device to softly chime at the top of the hour, and let that be a reminder to say a quick prayer. It might even give you the chance to tell others what you are doing. Every sixty ...read more

    PHILIP YANCEY ON REVENGE "The problem with revenge is that it never gets what it wants; it never evens the score. Fairness never comes. The chain reaction set off by every act of vengeance always takes its unhindered course. It ties both the injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both ...read more

    Jesus Christ: The carpenter, who offended so many, is the disguised Son of God, full of majestic power and condescension.
