Where Are You?
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I want you to consider three questions. Here’s the first question. It was God’s question to Adam. He asked, “Where are you?” We know God knew Adam’s location. There was a deeper meaning. The question exposed the problem. Adam had sinned and now his relationship with…

Wet Water Walker
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute, I’d like to encourage you to get out of the boat and follow your faith. Until and unless you do, you will never realize the fullness of your life’s possibilities. Go ahead, get your feet wet! Yes, you will begin to sink from time to time.…

Happy Lips
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to ask if you would like to know a valuable secret? Sure you would! Everyone likes a secret, especially one as valuable as this.

Duck In, Duck Out

The Rest of the Story
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to talk about the rest of the story. Have you ever been totally in the dark, without a clue about what’s coming next or how things are going to end? I have found myself there many times. What I learned is that I may…

Self-service Society
It seems that more and more of us place high value being independent from rules and restraints. We hate lines and we have learned to do everything ourselves. We no longer need the services of salespeople, librarians or others who used to be there to care for our needs. Everything in the world around us…

Show Me a Dreamer
I’m Dr. Bob. For just a mentoring minute, I want to speak of dreamers. Show me a dreamer who is a finisher and I will show you dreams that became realities. The best stepping-stones to your dreams are the faithful completion of the tasks you had before you. Make completion a pattern of your life!…

Swiss Army Knife
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a mentoring minute I want to talk to you about a Swiss army knife. Have you ever had a Swiss army knife? It is extremely handy and valuable as long as you use it for the purposes for which it was intended. It has many tools, but do not…
