Eternity in Their Hearts

From Earthly Business to Kingdom Business
I was talking to one of my customers on the phone today. At first, it was all business with discussion about a project I was working on for her. But, after a few minutes, the conversation took a beautiful turn. We began to talk about what God was doing in our lives,...

Go Higher!
A friend of mine, who does contract labor, was telling me about a job his company was about to do. This particular job is a little bit dangerous, considering all the work will be done 40 feet up in the air. He said, “None of the younger guys wanted to do it, so I got...
