How do you define success? This is such an subjective topic.  I would ordinarily refer to “success” in terms of wealth and prestige especially the way our world works now.  But I believe that we are spiritual beings at our core, so success indicates that you have a relationship with God.  Once that fundamental aspect…

Has a book changed your life? Absolutely. Yes.  100% Yes. Without a doubt, the Bible.  As a believer, it has helped me spiritually, mentally, financially, you name it.  I’m so grateful to God for what He’s revealed to me through it.  It has kept me grounded in a sense that it revealed that:  there’s a…

What is the most memorable gift that you have received? This may sound corny but I got a weighted jump rope from an ex-girlfriend for Christmas. I was obsessed with trying to dunk at the time. It was a gift that really satisfied a desire of mine. The rope definitely helped me with my hops…

How far back in your family tree can you go? I have a lot relatives on both sides of the family. My grandfather on my mom’s side was one of 10+ siblings in South Carolina. (I still have to figure out the exact number.). My dad is one of 5 or 6 siblings. But as…

Going to the gym.  Running that mile.  Hitting my reps on the squats.  Going to work doing what God has called you to do.   Talking to my family.  Swishing that…

What is a treasure that’s been lost? A treasure is something that had or currently has value in the beholder’s eyes.  If it’s lost there must have been a slight disdain for the value held.  That may have come intentionally or mistakenly but the level of care dropped.  It tends to happen to us as…

What is the earliest memory you have? My earliest (very fuzzy) memory I have is me sitting in a high chair in the living room of our apartment when I was 3+ years old.  My parents had a baseball game on the TV . (I want to say that the World Series was on but…

How are you brave? This is a challenge for me because I have to refrain from comparing myself with other people because it isn’t wise.   It’s so tempting to look on others and their accomplishments and think that either I haven’t done enough to measure up, or I have done so much more to measure…
