Every morning, you wake up to a fresh start—a clean slate, a brand new chance.
Fresh Starts are short pieces that I write whenever they arrive on my doorstep. Most Fresh Starts include, in addition to my words, a quote and a Scripture. After I write a Fresh Start, I always practice it. I hope you will, too. What Martin Laird said of his book, I say of Fresh Starts: “The[se] observations and reflections . . . are but paper boats on the river. Perhaps one or two will make landfall with you.” Subscribe to receive Fresh Starts.
