As a cancer survivor, I really appreciate my hair. I certainly don't take it for granted. Baldness brought on by Big Guns Chemo has a way of giving a person perspective. Amen? :) Sarah Breedlove had that perspective. Her troubles with scalp disorders and intermittent baldness had nothing to do with cancer. But they had...
The Masterpiece case is about a Christian business owner making a business decision based on deeply-held religious beliefs. Although the Court ruled for Phillips, the "win" isn't the precedent-setting decision I'd hoped to see. https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-1/ AND https://championsofdestiny.com/slicing-the-masterpiece-cake-part-2/ Still... I conclude my 3-part blog with HOPE! I found it in the Concurring Opinion by Justice Thomas, with...

IMPORTANT CAVEAT as I begin! I don't know anything about the company I describe today. But its premise resonates deeply with me. So I'm sharing it here as an intriguing resource for any who want to check it out... at your own risk. :) LightPoint Kingdom(k) retirement plan targets Christian business owners. It's a retirement...
I “met” a precious sister-in-Christ recently, via phone. She lives thousands of miles away from me. But the Lord is the best networker on the planet… right? ? She’s starting her Residency. The next milestone in fulfilling her dream of practicing medicine as a Christ-honoring physician, under the ultimate supervision of The Great Physician. She...
Sometimes it's almost impossible to learn the Real Story about privately-held companies. They're not under any compulsion to disclose who they are (or why they do what they do). Case in point: In-N-Out Burgers. Some might call it the Fast Food Upstart. In-N-Out Burger is an American regional chain of fast food restaurants located primarily...
Does anyone in our country not know the likable -- albeit, somewhat feisty -- mascot of AFLAC, the supplemental insurance giant? You know... the Duck? He's #3 in U.S. brand recognition. Who's #1? Yep... Geico's Gecko. :) What's interesting is how much money these companies pay for that privilege. According to Daniel Amos, Aflac's CEO (quoting...
