I wrote this a couple of years ago, but it seems worth repeating. Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone… Continue reading Don’t miss Christmas

A long obedience – the power of habits
A long obedience requires discipline and discipline by its very nature requires intentionality. You cannot develop discipline without being intentional. Lots of habits are formed without our intention but good habits often require us to be in intentional. In 2017, I identified several values which I try to live by. One of those, and in… Continue reading A long obedience – the power of habits

Speed is a measurement of distance over time. How far can you go in a certain time? In that equation, time is set and is a constant. A minute is always sixty seconds; and hour is always 60 minutes, and a day is 24 hours or 1,440 minutes. So, speed is then simply how far… Continue reading Three Miles an Hour
