Success ... aah ... Success! It's a much sought-after "something" by many, many people around the world. I write this from experience because I have been consulted on this issue over the course of the last 40 years.Continue reading
The End and The Beginning of The End
My “Writing Room” is not an “office” nor is it a “Pastor’s Study.” It is where I write. It’s where I write emails and commentaries, log my activities, and do online research. Occasionally, I use it to record a video using the title, “Sightline with Dr. C.” I continue to plan to release them by posting on a Youtube channel. Continue reading
The Power of Connection
An electrical switch on the wall means nothing and is a pitifully "almost ugly" ornament. It's importance is because of its connection. An independent Congressman or Congresswoman without party connections is powerless. His or her vote is lost in the power structure of Congress. If you live just beyond the city limits, you have no services provided by that entity because you are not connected to the voting and tax paying base of the community.Continue reading
MAKE A DIFFERENCE, RECEIVE DIFFERENT RESULTS
… A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF SUCCEEDING. Based on my experience, success begins in the mind. If you think about failing, you will most likely fail. If you think about succeeding, you will probably seek steps to success. Everyone has a destiny, and our destiny is to reach our destination. When the journey is unsuccessful, it is due to personal failure. In fact, many folks never begin the journey! Since you are reading this, you are beginning a positive walk toward your foreordained destination.Continue reading
UPSTAIRS OVER A VACANT LOT …
Thank God there is none other like him. Nothing nor anything nor anyone has ever come close to the size, wisdom, knowledge, power or love of the creator of the universe of universes. And just think, he loves you and he loves me. That, my friends, is a miracle! We understand being loveable to family and friends, but the love of God for us surpasses our ability to comprehend how the God who made everything would be cognizant of us and our need to be loved.Continue reading
Engaging The World
Eighteen-point type is large enough for almost everyone to see clearly. Life is not that simple. Sorry, it’s true! Life is complicated and, sometimes, like a minefield to be navigated to avoid dangerous consequences. The foregoing paragraph was the setup for this meandering in my search for a way to help us engage...Continue reading
90 Years, 124 days (almost)
A progress report? By Paul C. Collins It is 4:07 P.M. October 2, 2025 as I sit in my writing room at my computer desk. I am just beginning the process of typing something to resemble a short memoir, or a secular look at today’s world, or a prophetic view of events and circumstances....Continue reading
POWERFUL, PERSUASIVE, PROTECTIVE
As a young pastor in a small, county seat town, I quickly "Made friends of Mammon" even before I knew the ramifications. I identified the power connected with being the banker, the local doctor, undertaker, sheriff, and the barber. The banker became my friend because he loaned me money to buy a car. I made...Continue reading
Authority, Power, Struggle
People are powerless by choice. In fact, I do not believe I have ever met an adult without power. They simply choose to never exercise it in a personally beneficial way. So, how about you? It seems to me that each of us could find ways to gain in life if we occasionally conducted a...Continue reading
AFTER EASTER
A reminder: HE'S ALIVE! He didn't walk out of the tomb to go back in! He walked around for forty days, met a lot of people (at least four hundred), ate with ten inside somewhere, and ate with four others on the coastline of the Sea of Galilee. After all this, he decided enough...Continue reading
