I’m a doer, an action person, a leader. It’s in my blood to be as productive as I possibly can. It’s why I need to lean into this verse more than ever before: “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10) The Hebrew word for “Be still” literally means “let go of your [...]

“What Would You Attempt to Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail?”
This simple question posed by American pastor Robert Schuller may help inspire us to try to accomplish our goals. Taking fear out of the equation, what are your biggest dreams? The question is similar to asking or considering what you would do if you only had a few months left to live. In its simplicity, [...]

Much Needed Rest
Most Canadian Geese migrate thousands of miles each year. They’re built for it. They’re able to fly at night and cover 1,000 miles as they press on for 16 hours at a stretch.
