In Philippians 3:12-16, the apostle Paul seems to be taking inventory of his life. As Christians, we need to stop periodically and measure our progress – to review our accomplishments in our personal life as well as our professional life.

God bless America, land that I love Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above
Because of a series of overwhelming challenges this past month – and truly being too mentally exhausted to write something original, I have decided to include this writing by Bernadette Noll.
