Dressing for Success?

On Monday, we met R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes in Detroit… Their mission — in their words, “highest priority” — is to honor God in all that they do as a company and as individuals. They articulate strong values in nine aspects of business, yet place their ultimate trust for success on Matthew 6:33: “But

Hope & Help… When Loved Ones Die

One thing we know is certain: No one gets out off our planet alive. I’m not referring to those brave souls — e.g., airline travelers and astronauts — who leave the surface of the planet temporarily. i’m referring to those who depart from here on a more permanent basis. Said another way… Sooner or later,

My Magnificent Meltdown

It happened just yesterday. I was taking down our Christmas decorations. It wasn’t that I just hadn’t gotten around to it. I purposely left our decorations up for most of January. I’m never in any hurry to bid Christmas goodbye. Thankfully You, Lord, and everything this holiday means stays in my heart all year round.

The Company We Keep

Sometimes, I have no clue about what I’m going to write until I sit down at my computer. Like today, when I am to write about Kingdom POWER… and consider what we can learn from Christian business owners who are seeking to reflect His Light in the marketplace. This morning, as I prayed about Kingdom

Physician – Do No Harm

On Monday, I shared some interesting research data that illuminates the intersection between physicians and faith. See  https://championsofdestiny.com/whats-up-doc-2/ The study revealed that, although a high percentage of physicians believe in God and attend religious services at least occasionally, 61% say they “try to make sense” of a difficult situation and “decide what to do without

What’s Up, Doc?

The healthcare industry plays an increasingly significant role in our economy… Amen? And there is no shortage of debate about the societal challenges we face as we try to achieve a balance of widescale access to affordable, quality healthcare. After being an observer of healthcare services for most of my life, apart from annual physicals

The Atheist I Love

When did we first meet, Lord? Six years ago? He and his wife bought a nearby home. Snowbirds escaping the cold north for a few months each year. Until sickness and other maladies kept them away. We took full advantage of their early winters here. It didn’t take long for his wife and I to

Fire-Up Friday!

I heard from a dear brother-in-Christ today. Friday — the day I post about lessons we can learn from godly, courageous leaders and resources we can access. To help us mobilize Kingdom POWER as we face our increasingly challenging, post-Christian culture. Maybe I should call this Fire-Up Friday. Because, as a result of what my dear

eHarmony’s Disharmony

For seven years since eHarmony’s inception, prospective members had accessed the website’s entry portal. Beginning their online quest for a lifelong match by indicating “Man seeking woman” or “Woman seeking man.” Then, in 2007, eHarmony encountered Disharmony. A women in San Mateo County decided to try eHarmony, intrigued by its claim to be able to

Catching the Love Bug… Online!

I’m happily married, out of the dating scene for more than 30 years. But since the Internet came along, I’ve wondered about those online dating services. Especially the one that created the category. eHarmony. Founded in 2000 by an evangelical Christian, Dr. Neil Clark Warren. His vision? Create a reliable system to help singles find
