Okay, stop me if you've heard this before. Never mind -- I know I've said it before. That is, ever since I stopped trying to move forward with a way-too-broad approach, things have really been rolling for me. Not only does sticking-to-the-niche work, but actually tightening it up a bit has helped even more.

The squirrel’s action is very strongly driven by instinct; however if environmental conditions change significantly the squirrel will modify the size of its cache. Likewise, human savings will be modified as a consequence of conditions. Human intelligence, which can span time conceptually and which can unravel the numerous and various complexities of the world,…

Originally I wanted to launch my book the beginning of November. I’ve recently decided to wait to release my book and make some changes to my plan. I am now making some changes to include links to additional information along with a member’s area on my web site for anyone that purchases this book or future books.

If you follow my posts, you know a couple of weeks ago my cousin called to say my aunt was dying. Some relatives felt I needed to leave immediately if I wanted to see her alive. Ironically I’d agreed to speak on “Trusting God When Life Stinks” that Friday. Larry and I prayed for guidance. I felt I was to leave after my talks.

We are continuing our quests to overcome our enemies of the mind which are negativity and fear. We previously discussed turning off the TV, especially the news and listening to audio books during our commutes. The third item on the list is books. When you turn the TV off, pick up a book and begin to fill your mind with positive, encouraging, and supportive words. Jon Acuff's book, "Start" is a good read. If you are wanting to start a new endeavor and are having attacks from the enemy pick up…
