I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN ME FOR COFFEE…

THE MONKEY MOCKED THE TIGER

This morning I heard a story that I may not have believed unless I had seen it on the Today Show. Apparently a monkey got loose at a Florida zoo and went to the Tiger cage and “mocked the tiger”, as the zoo keeper so eloquently put it. The mocking got the tiger all fired [...]

DON’T LOOK TO COMPETE, BUT COMPLETE!!! (THOUGHTS FROM SUNDAY)

Monday… What is in a name like Monday? Today there are a lot of things in that name. Today I am tired. I think in a good way, but a delirious good way for sure. Yesterday was an incredible whirlwind. I cannot express the things that I continue to see God doing in my life, [...]

TELLING A BETTER STORY

MILLERBOOK

A few months ago I read Donald Miller’s book “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.” Very rarely do I read 200 hundred plus page books in one sitting, but this was one of those rare moments. Every page I turned was full of highlighting and underlining. I wrote things in the margins. I was [...]

NATALIE1
