Knowledge is Power
It would seem, then, that the saying is true: ‘Knowledge is power’! My position, though, is that it depends on the knowledge being pursued.

Why do we give thanks?
Friends, without a spirit of gratitude we ignore the many gifts that are given to us every day. Put another way, without gratitude, we don’t even take the time to recognise the many gifts we are given each and every day.

I know why the chicken crossed the road
The reason the joke ‘Why the chicken crossed the road?’ is never funny, is that it was never intended to be a joke. On the contrary, it’s a story about purpose – courage and daring to accomplish purpose. Cross the road, like the chicken and you too will see what awaits you on the other side.
