Today is Saturday, October 13th 2012 and today I really wanted to know who the best pastor in Dallas was. So what did I do?

This is a friendly reminder to all of my parent friends out there to smile! It’s easy to get bogged down and stressed out with all the things life throws at you. I’m sure each of us could write a long list of things that stress us out as parents. But even it’s just for today I [...]

“Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do….The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.” - Steven Pressfield
