I came across the following blog I wrote five years ago and felt to republish it in light of today’s economy in 2020. Christian professionals and business owners are losing friends who felt somehow entitled to exclusive discounts on their services. I’m sorry to break it to you, but being a Christian isn’t like being […]

Stop the World I want to Get Off
Stop the Social Media World; I Want to Get Off! Well, at least for the next 15 days, perhaps longer. Believe it or not, Facebook is only 16 years old at the time of this writing. Instagram is only ten years old, and Twitter is 14 years old. Smaller start-up alternative social media sites pop […]
Having Trouble Signing Up for the Mailing List?
If you are having trouble signing up for the mailing list using the form on this website, try this LINK. If you were once a subscriber but no longer receive emails from me and are wondering why, this might be the problem. A couple of years ago, GDPR was forced upon us. As a result, […]
Give a Hand Up and not a Kick to the Curb

Pause – Just for Today

What if Jesus was on Social Media?
If Jesus were walking the Earth today, He would be a master at the art of communicating a simple message in 140 characters or less. Twitter would have been the ideal platform for Him. When Jesus healed the sick, He didn’t mince His words. He prayed with authority. “Be clean!” (Luke 5:12-15) “Take up your […]
Practise Kindness to Yourself – Pandemic Self-Care
“New Normal.” It’s an overused media catchphrase that doesn’t begin to describe what we are going through in 2020. Every day there is something new to face, what we were told yesterday will change tomorrow. The normal setting seems to have disappeared. We’re dealing with constant change and uncertainty, economic instability and isolation from friends […]
You Do Have a Role To Play in the Body
1 Corinthians 12:12-17 – “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one […]
