Let’s take a trip back in time. The year is 27 AD and you are fishing on the Sea of Galilee. All of a sudden, you see a man flailing his arms on the shoreline trying to get your attention. You squint to get a clearer picture of who this person is and then you […]

We live a Linkedin lifestyle. We develop hundreds of connections with people we know very little about. We’ve never spoken to them, let alone met in person. We have no interest in friendship or mutual edification. Rather, we connect with these people because of what they can offer us. More connections, influence, information and power […]

A couple of weeks ago, some of my cousins and I got together to spend a night bowling! It’s been a couple of months since we’ve seen each other, so it was great to spend time together. Since we were playing a sport, I was keen to see how I would do compared to everyone […]

It’s been raining almost non-stop for the past two days. As a result, a ton of water has accumulated in the drainage basin near my home. This drainage basin functions as a man-made, concrete river that funnels water through different areas of our development. I stepped onto our balcony this afternoon to take a look […]

In our culture, we love superheroes. One only needs to look at the top 10 performing movies of 2017 to see that five of them tell stories of superheroes.
