BALANCE – THE PIVOT OF LIFE
“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.” — Og Mandino I don’t think anyone loves darkness. Maybe some do, but most of us love the light (think of Times Square at night). In as much as you do not like …
MY FELLOW PRISONERS
Paul, a prisoner of Christ … Philemon 1:1 Prison is not a great place; no matter the perspective or spin you want to put on it. It is a controlled life. You are told what to do, how to do it, where you should do it and when to do it. I don’t know …
POST-ACQUISITION DEPRESSION

FOR THE BROKENHEARTED …
This missive has a joyful ending. So, I request that you do not panic. I am writing from a man’s perspective. Please bear with me for I have never been a woman. Being brokenhearted is not a good place to be. You don’t wish it on anyone. But there comes a time it happens to …
THE MIND GAME
Traditionally this is the season of renewed anticipations – goal settings, vision formations, resolution making, plans re-evaluation, more commitment towards objectives, etc. All these are fantastic moves to ensure that you have a very productive year. However, our lofty goals may never crystallise until we understand the workings of an intangible realm called the mind. …
STRIVING FOR PERFECTION
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; 2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. 3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, …
