Sometimes this can even be accomplished in as little as a 5-minute conversation. It is important to have someone in our lives who can provide this life […]
The impact we have on others ~ unconsciously offensive
November 4, 2018 by Leave a Comment
The impact we have on others ~ unconsciously offensive I had an overnight flight last night from Manila to Port Moresby. The guy sitting in front of me seemed to need to readjust himself about every 5 minutes. And, he seemed intent on doing it in the most forceful way possible. It was like he […]

Putting Out Fires vs. Taking Care of Business We will have stuff come up in our lives – the flat tires, the appliances that need replacing, the sick kid who rearranges your schedule, unforeseen urgencies that demand time, attention, and resources . . .
