What Makes Church, Church?

Getting the Victory Over Burnout

You Need Not Worry!

Dealing With Difficult People

I Have Arrived!

Well we have now prepared for this day. Putting on our finest clothes, cleaned pressed and ready to impress. The woman, hair done, every strand in place. Make up just perfect. Extra hairspray and eyebrow liner, just in case.

Men groomed and ready to parade. Many folks to see and be seen by. Been so busy, am at a loss to why. O, yes, now it comes to me, time for church, not English Tea!

How excited we are, for the time has finally come; we'll be noticed, admired, even sought out. Strategically placed Bible in hand, with its not so worn pages and somehow I know that my spirit engages all those elements that will make me feel good. Now that all have seen me, my aura outstanding, I know I've succeeded at personal branding.

Then at home, upon my return, I shall reflect on how good it was for those who had the chance to see me once again!

" O, God, forgive me for my vanity and superficiality. Help me to understand the true nature of worship's grandeur. Help me also to see the wretch that I really am. Bless me today in spite of myself and help me to remember that it was you who gloriously rode into the Holy City and that it was not me the crowds were cheering!" GDL
