Keeping Up with the Kardash-whos

Back in the day, the adage used to be, “Keeping up with the Jones’”… In today’s society, the name Jones has been replaced with Kardashian, and this phenomenon has been taken to a whole new level. For those who are not familiar with the name Kardashian, every Sunday night this family’s reality show can be seen on the E! Channel with 2011 marking the sixth season (www.eonline.com). Many people in America, young and old, have become fascinated with this family and the goings on of its individual members including the most recent wedding of one of the oldest children, Kim. The hype that has surrounded the Kardashians seems to almost elevate the family to a level of royalty (bombshell for loyal fans: no royal blood exists in the Kardashian clan).

I'm not saying it's ok to live recklessly, but we should teach people to be bold and take action ... not be be afraid of making mistakes.

Overwhelmed?

There sure is a lot going on! Many complex projects, budget season, reunions, celebrations, new babies!

I reflected on the following scripture from Exodus and was truly blessed to read these words again. These words spoke to my heart and encouraged me. God doesn't give you more than you can handle and always provides. Moses sure accomplished a lot and you can too. Exodus 18 Wise Advice 13 The next day, Moses took his seat to hear the people’s disputes against each other. They waited before him from morning till evening. 14 When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked, “What are you really accomplishing here?
