Invest in what remains. What matters is what remains. In our lives, we invest in many things. What we invest comes in many forms but is covered primarily in four categories: time, energy, money and abilities. We spend these four things on things that matter to us in the moment. And yet if we takeContinue reading “What should I invest in?”

A little time off
You may have noticed my hiatus over the last two months. It probably had something to do with the tiredness and busyness I mentioned in my last post. And yet, the reality is that I dropped the ball on my writing as much because of mis-prioritization as busyness. Isn’t that the way it is sometimes?Continue reading “A little time off”
I am tired, how ’bout you?
What do you do when a wave of fatigue comes over you?

And yet when things really fallContinue reading “You won’t ever measure up”
How to stay at peace in the midst of other people’s turmoil
Every day we interact with people, whether from afar or up close and personal. Each of us brings our own perspective, opinion, experience and concern to the table. One thing that many people bring with them is their anger: their soap boxes and their negative outlook on certain things. How do we as Christians standContinue reading “How to stay at peace in the midst of other people’s turmoil”
The person in front of you
What is God’s will for my life? What does God want me to be doing with my time, talents and treasure? How can I share the gospel of Jesus Christ? Who do I know that needs encouragement, help and love today? These may be questions that you ask yourself and yet often the answer toContinue reading “The person in front of you”
