Each day when I have my prayer time, I always start off with praises for the good things in my life.  … Continue reading Secrets →

I looked up the definition of the word “attitude”, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary has a long list of definitions - some of them I had no clue about, but that are totally unrelated to what I had assumed the word meant.  I found these particular ones interesting though: “a mental position with regard to a … Continue reading Have You Got Attitude? →
