Lance Armstrong and I have a couple successes and sabotages that we share in common. Although I have not accomplished ANYWHERE the magnitude of what he has, I am equally passionate about bringing out the over-comer in those around me. I admire that he has attempted to live a Bold

By Olga Hermans – Sometimes we learn things and although we don’t forget them, they go dormant waiting for an opportune time to resurface. In the last few weeks, I experienced this as my pastor began speaking about the Believer’s role as king and priest. All of a sudden, everything

By Laura Petherbridge – In 1971 rocker Mick Jagger bellowed the familiar lyrics, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.” You’ve got to give him credit; he’s attempting every way possible to find what he’s looking for. “I try, and I try, and I try,” yet the poor guy can’t seem to
