In the movie, “The Last of the Mohicans,†it was a tragedy that a people group/tribe/nation vanished from the face of the earth. But lately, I’ve discovered a situation where getting rid of a certain tribal group can be the healthiest/best thing for you. I’m talking about the “Wolf Tribe.†Perhaps you’ve heard of them? […]
READ MOREDon’t misunderstand me. I’m not against numbers–In fact, I’m very much for them. They’re very helpful. * They tell you if you’re growing. * They tell you if people are coming back. * They tell you if people are exiting the back door. * They allow you to set goals. * They tell you how […]
READ MOREMy family occasionally like to have a “movie night.†You know, the deal complete with popcorn and coke, TV trays and a good (wholesome) flick.
