Ruts
When “we are constantly doing the same thing and expecting different results”…that is the definition of stupid…and that defines many of us . We behave the same way in our relationships, work, finances…we don’t change anything…and we wonder why nothing changes?? We think that awareness itself will make the difference, because we are aware of…

Bling!!
I must confess…I LOVE BLING!!! Jewelry, bags, shoes, makeup…you name it, I’m drawn to it. These last few days of going through airports, I am like a moth to the duty free stores. Everything is so shiny and pretty. I don’t need anything, but I want it! It would make me so happy to buy…

What Homework?
How many of us actually read Proverbs? I know that I had good intentions. The desire was there. Using the lack of time and privacy as an excuse is nothing more than a cop out. I have no excuse for ignoring God’s word…I have needed it many times over the last few weeks. Why the…

Quick Fix
We are surrounded by a society that promises us a quick fix…rapid weight loss, instant relationship change, and how to get rich fast. I know that they don’t work. I have them. And over time I’ve tried enough of them to know that they are just headlines to sell books and magazines. If it took…

Heat…
We are now driving through the middle of Tanzania. Two days of heat and packed sandy scenery. It’s raw and beautiful. It’s amazing how many people live in such harsh conditions. Survival is the key, no luxury available, and if you’re lucky you can afford a cold coca-cola once in awhile. How many of us…

Travels…
Today has been a day that I have looked forward to for awhile. Not because I want to leave my African village…but because my favorite thing to do is to travel! The sound of my suitcase zipping up is one of my favorites. Sitting in airports, watching people come and go, is something that I…
