Some days I find myself wishing for a do-over at life. Life didn’t turn out much like I had hoped and even expected it would. I guess our dreams don’t account for the disappointments of life. But disappointments are part of life. If you had asked me at 18 where I would be and what […]

If you wish to live the best life, then you need to learn to do the one next right thing now. Not tomorrow’s thing, not today’s list. Just do the one next right thing. Perhaps a lifestyle of doing the one next right thing is the closest you can come to living in faith. Such […]
