This past weekend’s sailing adventure got me thinking about life. There’s such incredible freedom and exhilaration when you’re out on the waves and under the direct power of the wind. You know where I’m going with this, right? It’s just not possible to fully understand the concept of sailing while your boat is still tied… Continue reading sailing lessons
I had the opportunity to go sailing on Friday afternoon… which was a beautiful southern California day. For about 6 hours, I didn’t look for a job, I didn’t worry about a job – I just relaxed and enjoyed the awesome beauty of the ocean and the amazing friends God gave me to share it… Continue reading A breath of fresh air

Christians everywhere are keenly interested in how to be increased, how to be… Continue reading The Secret of Spiritual Power
