It amazes me how many times I’ve heard Christians say that they always suspect a person with an “ichthus” (fish symbol) on a business card! Hmmmm!

I’ve read people, who disagree with Stephen Covey’s statement about the “Ladder of Success” in his popular book: “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People”. I guess that they don’t like the idea that we can spend a lifetime climbing the “Ladder to Success”, only to find that it’s “leaning against the wrong wall”. And that [...]

Joy is a word that’s not often applied to a business or a profession.
