Read More Over A Span Of TimeA lot of life is a matter of trust. You put your trust in your parents. They are the first sources of authority and the reference point for life.

Read More Reaching the Promised LandSo they’re with you. They’ve heard the offer, they’ve caught a glimpse of the vision. They’ve seen you’re up for the journey – and that idea of where they’re going will be compelling. They’re with you. For now. They left where they were. They haven’t reached where you’ve promised. Then there comes the problems. No […]
Read More Progress in the Journey to the Promised LandThis is not all there is to life. Where you are now is not where you have to stay.
