How much time do you need to really invest? Let's get real and talk about that 10,000 hour rule.

Thoughts from someone who has moved away from the faith. This week let's talk about what it means to be broken people.

A person's identity is often closely tide to their faith. Here is a check in: What does it mean to you, to be a Christian? What does that look like and are you free to practice your faith.

What does it mean to be present now? As we go through our days it is so easy to let the current moment be swallowed up by past regrets or tomorrow promises; so much so that "now" gets lost in the shuffle.

When are "angels among us" in daily life? I think they are here, there and everywhere, in you and in me, in small and great ways, when we act with kindness and God's love.

Any given day can be different - How do you face each day? How do you lift up those around you?

Being bold is not easy. Are you a courageous person? Does fear hold you back from doing, what you really want to do?

But, what does it mean to be transformed?

Ephesians 4:29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. NLV Ephesians is credited to the disciple Paul, but some scholars argue that it could have been written by one of followers.

That the shepherd rejoices more over that one that was lost and now found than over the 99 that were safe the entire time can be disconcerting to a humanity that thinks that the bird in hand is more valuable than the two in the bush. What? But, I’m part of the 99! What about me? Why does God love that lost soul more than me? This is a problem wit

But it would be nothing unless shared. Below is a transcript of that talk. Water Pump I have a LOT of questions! And I don’t think I am alone. I think there are a lot of people in this room and outside those doors that have similar questions. Please answer, it’s just you, yourself and God, but

Working on something good can change everything. Photograph of a blue sky from my back yard. The Project's Beginnings Lost, Found & Transformed began with a lot of reading and reflection. It began years and years ago without a name, a firm idea, or logo. It literally started and stopped, with scribbles, "notes to self" and writings in notebooks with no firm direction.
