30 Days to Success: A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Success in 30 Days

I've been spending some time lately thinking about goals, success, what it means to be successful, and how on earth I can accomplish my goals this month in order to be successful.  I even wrote a post on why many people fail to achieve their goals or be successful.  All of this thinking causes problems for me.  Like it makes me think.  And then I come up with ideas.  And then sometimes I try my ideas.  Sometimes that's scary.  Ha! This time, though, I think I've had something good come out of all of this thinking, and I wanted to…

How I’ve Failed as a Christian (and Why It’s Okay)

Take a moment to imagine the perfect Christian.  If you've read the Bible, maybe you picture the Proverbs 31 woman.  Or the man described in the book of Titus.  Whether or not you know what the Bible says about how Christians should act, what do you think of? Somebody who prays and fasts regularly?  Who reads her Bible when she wakes up and before she goes to sleep?   Someone who works hard and stays positive regardless of her circumstances?  How about someone who is the picture perfect mom and wife (like a June Cleaver)?  And of course, someone who goes to church and…
