We all have different opinions, thoughts, and ideas of how to get from point A to point B. In the end, the only thing that matters is that we get there. It is okay to be passionate about our perspective, but it is not okay to judge or be critical of those with opposing views. In the words of the great Charlie Brown can’t we all just get along?!!! “…

If we live our life with great expectations that is what we will get. If we…

Growing up I was always confused when I heard the pastor talk about staying humble and striving to be all God created us to be. Seemed to be a contradiction.

It’s okay to be broken! We all have brokenness, but we sometimes create more distress, sadness, and hurt for ourselves trying to hide it. It’s okay to show others the chinks in our armor.

If you have chickens, you know that a critter in the area is a literal real concern. However, this can also be true metaphorically for every aspect of life. My Dad taught me this at a young age.
