The Retiring Carpenter Story An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. He would get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship

Stained Glass Window! Reflecting the other day, in my moments of prayer and thought, I was wondering what to write a blog on- since it’s been a short bit since I last posted. I’ve started many different blogs, but I haven’t been able to finish them and I just couldn’t figure why. I think it was because I wasn’t feeling the call to write those blogs because God was calling me to write something much deeper and something that goes to the soul of what is the current condition of the world. I saw this quote on some random quote

Last week, while I was doing my morning cardio, I watched a video with amazing and inspiring people talking about personal past struggles in life. I was inspired when they told their stories and showed pictures of them at their downfall. I was deeply moved, knowing that if they can do it, then anyone can. Then it hit me – I can do that too! I can be an inspiration! All of these people climbed their way out of a dark and scary place in life; and by telling their story – they are changing/helping people lives. My name is

What’s Your Purpose? Author: Tony Fahkry What is your purpose on earth? That’s an imposing question for an introduction. Let’s get our hands dirty by uncovering some truths. Many of you have never entertained the idea you may be here for a reason. It’s not until disaster or tragedy strikes when one questions their life’s meaning. My illness years ago became the instrument for discovering my purpose. My purpose is the work I perform and similarly the person I’ve become. Your talents, skills and the intangible gifts you were blessed with, define your purpose. I’ve experienced point three, via my

MY TESTIMONY We spend our whole lives yearning for more than what we have, always wanting bigger while seemingly letting what we do have go unappreciated. Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth given everything they will need in life, while the rest of us are thrown in the deep end in a sink or swim battle for life. Some drop off and sink immediately while others fight for every inch of ground that they can get for survival and then there is the rare few who will face every challenge imaginable, no matter the odds to

Courage, Faith and Love Author: James Wolbert Dear Reader, It has been said that this is the worst of times. We the people are experiencing debt, uncontrolled spending, mounting foreclosures, increasing unemployment and unsettling foreign crisies.

Just for Today Strongman, life, everything we do, we do with an eye on the future. I am busy prepping for Nationals, granted the doctors still cant believe I’m walking.
