Time! We all assume that there are 24 hours new and fresh coming at us tomorrow. At least I do. And what I don’t get done today, tomorrow is another day where I can pick up where I left off. And we all know with a fact that we always have time to do what [...]

Have you ever developed a message/teaching and thought, it will be great when so and so hear this. What I have to share will really impact them and it will be so beneficial for them to take in the wisdom and insight that I am about to share. And then when the time comes, they [...]
