Prince and the Pauper Imagine seeing a coin on the floor – heads up. The tails is still there even though it is not being expressed. If we flip the coin over, then we see tails but the heads is still there. They are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the […]

It is already good I heard Mike from Southeast Community Outreach speak today. One of my take-aways was a great reminder of how good my life already is and just how blessed I am. My county, Douglas County, is one of the more affluent counties in the nation and yet there are over 40,000 families […]
