Taking others into the promised land won’t happen by accident, somebody must take the lead. I often find myself awakened by frustration after frustration, believing that people do the right thing. They may know what is right and wrong but wether they do right is anyones guess. When we find ourselves in a toxic environment, it may just be that our senses have finally acknowledged that it is toxic. It’s often hard… Read More

Discovering what a failure we were when we did our best can be very sobering. Being the absent father, husband, son, trying to figure out how to put enough food on the table, make the right career choices and even trying to work out who we are can take it’s tole.

A society where fathers are absent, the next generation struggles with identity. We acknowledge that prisons are predominantly filled with men. Not necessarily are all these men evil but most have very little references of restraint, tough love, discipline and purpose. Men have an innate desire to hunt, protect and provide. Men definitely are created uniquely different from women who have an innate desire to birth, nurture and domesticate. While both sound… Read More

Years ago I heard this quote ‘A person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still’, implying, we can’t make people see what we want them to see.

If circumstances are favourable, we enjoy the moment like a flowering daisy, fortunate enough to glimpse the sun for a moment or two,… Read More
