It's easy to say "That's impossible" or "It'll never work" or "That goal or dream is just unrealistic." It's easy to say those things. Why do you think we dreamers hear them so often?
I never will forget when I started talking about doing the video teaching tool "A Journey to Fullness." There were plenty of…

When I was a boy of 7 years old, I had my tonsils removed. Up until that time, I was a bit of a sickly kid and skinny as a rail! What I remember most about having my tonsils removed was all the ice cream I could eat after surgery! What a treat!

My girls are a hoot! But sometimes I have to remember that they are still very young. You see, children can be afraid of the dark, and my girls are going through that phase now. And that means little feet crawling into the bed with Daddy because he makes them feel safe!
Sometimes, it's aggravating, but…

As kids we would tease each other constantly. Now I know you never did this, because you were a nice and respectful child, but, well, we were rascals at times! I remember the one taunt that always got me was "I know you are, but what am I?" Some kid would call me a meanie…
Growing up as a young man in the 1970's meant I heard some of the best music in the world! One song I remember that got the whole car singing along was the anthem "United we Stand" by the Brotherhood of Man. The chorus was "For united we stand, divided we fall. And if our…
"Get out of the way!" My daughter in the back seat was yelling at the cars in front of us as we were on our way to her dance class. She was frustrated at the amount of traffic in front of us and reacted like she had seen "someone" else react in the same situation.…
