1
I'm frustrated that the NFL and a good chunk of our society turns a blind eye to infidelity. I remember all the hoopla around Steve McNair's death. But take a look at how he died? Is it just me?

0
A common theme in the Christian church, this phrase “it’s not about me” now has a new and different meaning for me. Some leaders rise to power, and use it as a platform to glorify oneself. Some believe that the rule of “do as I say, not as I do” is perfectly fine. But the Mentor Leader continually [...]

City on Our Knees by TobyMac: A Prayer to Start Right Here, Right Now

0
TobyMac has a song by the same title on his most recent CD, Tonight. The message of the song, and then this book is simple; our cities (including whichever one you and I live in) should be on our knees, praying to to Holy Father for guidance and always willing to serve him.
