Lighten Your Load
We like for things to be right. We like for there to be fairness. We want to believe that God will make everything alright. But we often want it in our time and according to what we think is right.

Happy Are Those…
Happiness is often fleeting. We are happy when we purchase something new, but it wears off. We are happy when we are with friends, but we cannot be with them every day, all day. We are happy with our pets until they are disobedient. Our happiness doesn’t last. We can find a fulfilling happiness, oneContinue reading “Happy Are Those…”

Do you prefer to follow rules or principles? Do you want thinks laid out in black and white or like a lot of gray? Do you like to adhere to tradition or be free to follow your heart?
