The question “Who are you?” can often lead us to be taken back. It can stop us because the answer can seem complicated or even changing. There’s voices all around us shouting, “THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD BE!” There’s our careers, relationships, social media, our past mistakes, and the list goes on and on. You […]
It is astounding that we are in the full first week of May. Busy calendars, fast-paced days and a constant stream of obligations can cloud our focus on the important things. When life is crowded, it is tempting to sideline our intentional time with God. But this often leads to spiritual drift. Communion with God, […]
There are many who start their Monday with heavy hearts. Loss, pain, ailments, afflictions, tests and trials bring heaviness as we navigate life.
