I received a request to endorse a new book this week and a memory came to mind that I’d like to share with you today. It wasn’t a happy memory, in fact, it was a learn-from-your-pain kind of memory. But it was an important lesson that I still ascribe to twenty years later. I had ...
Manna Nails
“If Papa God tells you to build a shed, He’ll provide the nails.” That’s a quote from one of my Too Blessed to be Stressed books from nearly a decade ago.
