We are blogging this month on the first of  Seven Pillars…Relationship. Specifically, how we can walk with God all day, every day, but especially in our work. But it’s hard, isn’t it?

Dogs and God (and Work?)

Posted in Adversity, God, Relationships on March 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Read his message…and then consider how perfectly applicable it is to our work! The only time I ever cry when watching a movie is when something bad happens to a dog.

Friends, Often times I have felt at a loss for words.  A situation presents itself and it feels like I should say something, but I don’t  because I am scared that I will not say the right thing.   Good intentions and all, but the word of encouragement or the word of thankfulness does not ever [...]
