On my mind today…freedom. Freedom in Christ for me and for others. When we don’t allow others the same freedom we have been given, we impose unnecessary burdens on others and even ourselves. The expectation we place on others is often the bondage of performance based acceptance residing within our fallible selves. God’s Word says,ContinueContinue reading “Love is Freedom”

Love Him, Love Others
For the past several weeks, I have watched friends endlessly share information to educate and passionately plea with their social media audience to consider their perspective regarding current events.

Those People
Wondering today…if those people, you know the ones … the ones we have chosen to dislike maybe for no apparent reason, the ones who maybe know more about us than we are comfortable with, the ones who we have trouble truly loving as Jesus wants us to. The ones who, probably unknowingly to them, seemContinueContinue reading “Those People”
