I’m working with a business consultant who keeps reminding me that the best way to chop down a tree is to first spend time sharpening the axe. Lots of planning is scheduled for the next months.
As I just configured the new email server to automate the next 9 articles, I can tell you that there are great articles coming. Here’s a preview:

  • Learning from Satan. (Origins of the word and a spiritual exercise we can apply based on that knowledge.)

  • Love. (The four most important things I know about what love really is.)
  • Radical Sufficiency. (A suggestion on how to get more from what is.)
