We have room for pleasure, room for eating and drinking, room for reading and watching, room for resting and sleeping etc.
Do you make room for the rich and famous, the young and beautiful celebrities and the media?
Time-travel… Was there room at the Inn?
The tax collector, the rich, young ruler, the Scribe, Sadducee, Pharisee and the High Priest were all welcome. Joseph…..
Goodness comes in different packages. It can be an unexpected gift from an unexpected source. It can be a complement from someone who is hard to reach. It can be anything. But if it uplifts your soul, it is a good source. That is why it is called ‘goodness’.

Your world has been turned upside down. What do you do?
It is hard to think straight when you are suspended upside down from a branch that could break at any time. Do you feel like you are sitting precariously close to that creek that looks more like a raging river?…..
How are you investing your time? Once it is used, time came never be brought back. You cannot unwind the clock! Remember, time lost is gone down the drain, never to be recovered. So, how are you investing your time?
