I write about doing this every year now it seems.  And every year it gets a little harder and harder to do. Saying “Merry Christmas” to all those folks that we come in contact with at this time of year. Are you afraid to say it to you co-workers because you don’t want…

“A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.” Prov 16:9 CSB We can plan it, but are we really letting God decide our steps?  Are we letting “Jesus take the wheel”?  As believers in the workplace we need to let go and allow God to guide…

We’ve all done it at some point or another. I found myself doing it again last week. Jumping on the perennial “Bandwagon”. I was headed to lunch in the car with a couple of co-workers.  The conversation started to go in the direction of talking about the poor performance and…
