F.E.A.R.—What is it?
The word fear takes on two different meanings. Let’s break it down both ways. F.E.A.R. can stand for two different ways to handle a situation. I can’t take credit for this quote as it comes from the great Zig Ziglar. F.E.A.R means to Forget Everything and Run or, to Face Everything and Rise. The choiceContinue reading “F.E.A.R.—What is it?”

Recently, our Toastmasters District achieved a huge milestone. We became a Smedley Distinguished District. This has never been achieved before in District 13.

Getting Back into the Word!
As the calendar turned over to July this week, and I’ve been contemplating this for a while now, I finally got back into reading the Bible.

Fourth of July at the Farm!
In the speech that I evaluated at our meeting on Wednesday night, the speaker taught us to “start strong and end strong”. That’s what I’m hoping to do in today’s blog.
