You have something to say do you? Ever heard about the acronym T.H.I.N.K. when it comes to communication? Is what you have to say Truthful? How about is it Helpful? Will it be Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it coming from a heart of compassion and so is what you are wanting to say Kind?…

As we continue this year the next plan I have selected to go through is “Rad Dad!” which is a 6 day devotional through the Bible.com site.
