Earlier this month John told me he was ditching his plans to write a New Year’s resolution. I couldn’t believe my ears. My man of no-compromise was bowing out of the game.

Be strong and very courageous...Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful (Joshua 1:6a,7). If someone could look inside your mind, what would they find?

Do you have scriptures you don’t like? I have one. I’ve previously written about my aversion to what I call my boomerang verse.

This week a tragic fire took the lives of three small children in a Del City RV fire. Little Christopher, Crystal and Kailey were the grandchildren of Crystal Chappell, one of my Whiz Kid’s tutors at Destiny Church. I wasn’t sure what the emotional climate would be like when I arrived at my site today, but Barb Garrett, the coordinator for the Destiny Whiz Kid’s program informed the tutors in her reassuring graceful manner.
