Burn Your Boats!
Alexander the Great, known as the world’s greatest empire builder had his target on Persia. Two barriers to achieving his goal of conquering were present: the Greeks were less in number when compared to the other army and the Persians had the most powerful naval fleet in the world. Thinking that his men would run away when realizing the poor odds of winning, Alexander burned his boats. There was no return. All that was left was to fight and conquer… so they did.
Uncertainty, doubt, fear, and hopelessness are feelings that usually paralyze us. Frequently, we are trying to achieve a goal or change something with which we are not comfortable. We strive for more. In fact, this comes naturally for us as creatures of a Mighty God. He created us with a purpose.

Sidney and Kim work together as full-time residential realtors (www.sidneygalloway.com). Both of them preparing for and serving at Beach Club meant they would not be covering their work for part of Wednesdays. After their first club meeting, ...

Beach Clubs Are Back!
It is that time of year again, temperatures are dropping, kids are back in school, Friday night means high school football and yes, Beach Clubs are back! We have had a tremendous summer with a buzz of Beach Club activities around parks, swimming pools and baseball fields. We are starting up with 110 Beach Clubs in 49 school districts this fall in 7 different states. Praise God!
One thing I do in the Beach Club process is getting everything set up for us to be able to enter each school campus. Each school district is different and has its own steps for setting up a lease agreement so that outside organizations, such as KiDs Beach Club®, can come onto the campus to do after school clubs.
