Have you ever had to work with someone who just doesn’t get it?  Whatever it is?  Maybe you’re trying to explain how a particular program works, or perhaps you’re trying to get them to understand the ethos of your company.  Why and how you do what you do.  But you have to keep coming back…

It was a collision of sorts. A Collison of Kingdoms. Pilate who was the most powerful man in the country stood in judgment of Jesus, the most powerful being in the universe. Jesus has been arrested and brought to Pilate by the religious authorities. The charges were blasphemy and treason. And for whatever reason, Pilate…

Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future.  Those words were penned over a hundred years ago by the Irish playwright Oscar Wilde but they could very well have been written about a young man named Saul who came to a pivotal point in his life where he would have to choose to…

It is the stuff of nightmares, you’re unable to breathe, the pressure is closing in and your last thoughts reflect on what you wished you had done.  Regrets fill your mind, if onlys become your focus and as the darkness increases your struggles decrease until what was you has departed and what is left is…

An act that had never been intended to be shared with others and certainly not made public.  It had all started out innocently enough, a shared glance, an innocent touching of hands, a long conversation and it…

You are the apple of my eye!  Have you ever heard that expression?  Probably not recently in common usage, but maybe in an old movie or a historical novel.  There was actually a song that made the charts by that name in 1956.  It was sung by Frankie Valli and the Four Lovers.  The group…

It started out as a case of sibling rivalry and ended up as a case of murder.  It’s a familiar story from the Old Testament, but not one that we think about very often.  It involved the sons of Adam and Eve.  And I know that we can get caught up in a lot of…
