Some people I speek with about this subject, believe that this Creed only pertains to the Catholic Faith.

"I believe in the Holy Spirit , The Holy Catholic church"

Authentic Leadership is Not Presumptuous

Proverbs 25: 6-7 (MSG) Don't work yourself into the spotlight; don't push your way into the place of prominence. It's better to be promoted to a place of honor than face humiliation by being demoted.

In an interview with Larry King, Donald Trump observed that pretenders to success often spend too much time talking to him about all they have done. He has observed that successful people, on the other hand, spend the time learning -- asking questions about his… Continue

LEST WE FORGET

Today (May 25th) is designated Memorial Day – a time to Remember those who died in the military when they had been called… Continue

BEcause we do not accept the grace of God!

When we are introduced by God, it is in our hands if we are accepting Him or rejecting… Continue

They all went around and shared their experiences, but it took so much time that the hour was up before we knew it and I had no… Continue
