A Life Lesson from a Biblical Story

Every now and then a great life lesson just comes to us. This is one of those moments when I felt it so important to express this one in particular.

It’s True that Hurt People Will Hurt People, But…There is MORE!

The phrase “hurt people hurt people” was first witnessed and coined in the year 1959 in the newspaper in Amarillo, TX.

Your Destiny is Calling

Sometimes it is hard to see the upcoming plans created for you when the clouds seem dark and threatening. Taking a peek from a higher perspective is often what we all need, or maybe even a more vast vision.
