A New journey… Let’s drop a pin…

A New journey… Let’s drop a pin…

I entitled this “a new journey” but I really don’t know that it’s all that new. I think I’ve really been on this journey since 1996, but back then there was not GPS, so I’ve obviously taken a lot of detours. Here we are 26 years...
Even When You Feel Like a Failure, God Has a Plan!

Even When You Feel Like a Failure, God Has a Plan!

Have you ever felt like you’ve failed at something? Yeah, I think we all have felt that way at some point in our lives. Some of us have felt like that multiple times in our lives. Because of my relationship with God, I tend to believe that all things happen for...
