What do you lead with? If there’s space between you and me, what do you lead with? I’ve thought of this many times… if there’s space between you and me, something has to fill it… If there’s space between a father and a son… … between a

Last week I witnessed the most feisty exchange… A middle-aged man pulled his pickup truck into the nearest Publix parking spot. There was nothing unusual nor outstanding about the guidance of his vehicle. He was somewhat close to the gold sedan to his left, although the proximity had zero

It’s true. I can be a bit of a nerd. Please... don’t agree so fast. Maybe it’s better said that I’m always a student... always learning... always attempting to figure life out. In fact, one of my bottom lines in life is that none of us

Seriously. What if it’s me? What if I’ve always said to love my neighbor as myself but then I intentionally choose some not to love? What if I’ve announced my pursuit of the truth and nothing but the truth and then justify why it’s ok to
