I cannot think of a dream a person could possibly have that would not effect or involve others. Opening a store, improving business, moving to another country, attaining a certain job, even simply wanting to have a family all require others to be on board. Chapter six of Put Your Dream To The Test discusses [...]

The first book I chose to read in 2010 was John Maxwell’s Put Your Dream To The Test. Of course, I’m all about having dreams, living with goals, making plans, and believing in the passions of your young aspirations rather than just letting them fade away. That’s why this book title appealed to me. Just [...]

I have spent much time in prayer trying to [...]

I have always been into self-denial as in depriving myself of food, television, spending, or sleep somehow I thought made me more spiritual.

A couple months ago I wrote this piece as one of my first blog entries, entitling it “the story”. I used it as a chance to tell some of the major events that happened in my life to inform and update those who had wondered as to my change of ministry, location, etc. I notice [...]
