I have a friend who is a heart surgeon, named Michael. He is a great heart surgeon and a great friend. We were having breakfast with some other guys recently, before Michael was heading off to a very “serious” surgery. (Of course, I’m pretty sure everyone who is on his […]
Your Will Be Done!
Have you ever felt abandoned? Maybe you were abandoned as a child. Maybe your parents gave you up for adoption, or your father walked out on your family. Maybe your best friend turned their back on you, or you were set up at work and left to take the blame […]
“For a happy life you need three things”
Happy is the word of the day. Everyone wants to be happy. I want you to speak this word over your life, your marriage and your family today. I was walking through the mall the other day and I saw a picture quote on the wall, so I took […]
