Have you ever heard of bananas growing in Antarctica? Of course not. They can't. And there's a good reason why. The same reason why bananas can't grow in Antarctica is a truth largely ignored in our …

In life, we are presented with choices, paths we can go down. Many are irreversible. You probably have some vision of where you want to be in five years. How do you make sure you end up where you sho…

We have plans for our lives, but so often, we let the day-to-day get in the way and overwhelm us. Losing track of our vision is not only a modern-day problem. Scripture tells us to focus on what God …

Good endings matter. They matter in books, movies, and tv shows. Few things are as disappointing as a great story ruined by a weak ending. Endings also impact beginnings - how one story ends often sh…
