Meeting certain people changes EVERYTHING. Saw a segment of an interview with someone who met Elvis once. She’s been reliving that moment for over 40 years. Someone I know was at an event with a speaker who had a series of profound physical challenges in his life. Listening to the […]
What do you think about WAITING? How does it work for you? Do you mind it? Does it drive you mad? Are you a fidgety kind of wait-er? Or can you sit quietly? Can you focus on that for which you are waiting? Or does you mind go to a […]
It’s a crazy story – true, but sort of crazy. We get to watch Jesus messin’ with his disciples in the days following his resurrection. The boys had gone fishing on a lake that normally was teeming with fish. Nobody EVER got skunked out there….. except them, this time. […]
