Just days before ringing in a new decade, here's help for adopting the right mindset for going forward instead of backward.
There’s no quick trick to success. It’s through day-to-day living and working that we achieve our dreams and goals.
Unrealistic expectations are nothing more than the temptation to be perfect and to expect it from others. Rather than looking at what isn’t done perfectly, focus instead on what has been accomplished.

Conflicts among God's people are commonplace. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Anxiety can be an addiction. The good news is that God has provided an escape—a way of liberation to laugh again.
