Positive post Sunday, December 18, 2022- Week 303. I have had the privilege to coach many members of my family, friends and colleagues in my personal and professional life.

Positive post Sunday, December 11, 2022- Week 302. I’ve thought a lot about praying lately, or should I say, I’ve prayed a lot about praying lately. I pray several times a day. My prayers range from very brief prayers, like thanking God for allowing me to wake up another day to serve Him or asking…
Positive post Sunday, December 4, 2022- Week 301.

Positive post Sunday, November 27, 2022- Week 300. 300!!! As the saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun”, or my version, “Time flies when you’re serving the Lord”.

Positive post Sunday, October 23, 2022- Week 296. As we have moved into fall with the leaves on the trees changing colors and the weather shifting, I am reminded of one of my favorite ways to relax at the end of a challenging day or the start of a new day early in the morning,…
Positive post Sunday, October 16, 2022- Week 295. It’s my belief that every citizen has a responsibility to serve their community in some way, that’s what differentiates strong and thriving communities from others.
