Leading not Manipulating…

Two articles I read this week that I thought I would share. The first is  About leading and not manipulating your children Discipline is the process by which one transforms the terrible toddler into a prosocial human being who will look up to his parents (and other adults whom they identify as legitimate authority figures), [...]

Thought for the day…

Romans 8:38-39 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I love Paul’s [...]

Ommision not to lie…

If you know anything about me, lying is something I can not tolerate.  I work very hard to make sure I am truthful in all circumstances.

Modern day Soloman…

Tom Brady has it all…But this interview says it all about what he thinks of his success.  He even uses “I think GAA or God it’ got to be more than this”   I have listened to it a bunch, but pretty sure he says God.  Ether way he too is searching.  In all his success, [...]

Meek

A discussion on Meek based on Matt 5:5 sent me searching the concordance and greek… What was Christ meaning when he says meek….
