I look at myself sometimes and think what a lethargic, lazy slob I am. I quickly shake myself from that and get to the meat of the matter of how I am to be. This week in particular, scriptures about training have come up big time. Like this one. I read this and in line […]
Read More In TrainingIt’s worth just sharing this for the record. 😏 Connecting with people really, truly and deeply never ceases to be an invigorating experience. I love being with my wife and we converse in such a way that shares an understanding of what we’re going through. I love it when we support each other in connecting […]
