Choosing to be Holy

“Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so…

The World Doesn’t Owe Me

From Chet McDoniel You may already know that my wife and I own our own travel agency that specializes in Disney Destinations called Off to Neverland Travel.  Disney released a new special the other day, and inevitably, some clients’ reservations are excluded from the new rates due to the terms and conditions.   Every time…

Going Viral

You may have heard the story of Johnny the Bagger. It’s one of my favorites and is a perfect illustration for all the “one anothering” we’ve been studying these past few weeks. Barbara Glanz is a nationally known motivational speaker and corporate trainer. While speaking to a convention for a very successful grocery chain, she…
