Friendship
I’m thinking about friendship today. I rehearsed in my mind the friends we have. Of course, there many of you are in the group picture.

Where is Your Journey Taking You?

Books I’m Reading So, I’ll start with what I’m reading. I was an advanced reader and endorser for a book by Rene Chehardy, Forged: From ToxicityContinue reading “Where is Your Journey Taking You?”
Take a Knee
I’d forgotten, until recently, about this “Take A Knee” piece that I read a couple years ago. Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January.

DWELL IN UNITY
Psalms 133:1-3 TPT How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity!

ThisContinue reading “DWELL IN UNITY”
IF IT’S NOT YOUR MONKEY, WHY ARE YOU FEEDING IT?
Yesterday I received a video from a friend. It was three hours and ten minutes long. I watched a brief part of it, mainly the introduction. I’m constantly receiving videos and posts of various content. And I admit I send videos and posts to folks I think they would like/benefit/enjoy/ whatever. I really do appreciateContinue reading “IF IT’S NOT YOUR MONKEY, WHY ARE YOU FEEDING IT?”
