Don’t Lose Focus!
Focus is the word of the day. I want you to think about this word and speak it over your life today. Choose to focus on the good things. I celebrated another birthday recently. In spite of having way too many candles to put on my birthday cake, due […]
A Grand Experience Pt 2
Kolt and Dandy (my sons) and I were hiking the Grand Canyon. We successfully made it to the bottom. We had our break. We rested in the Colorado River. We enjoyed our lunch. Now it was time to begin the climb. It wasn’t too bad at the beginning. But when […]
