When you have to give up something you value and I have to give up something I value so that we can get along on something together, apparently that’s a compromise. The key in the compromise is that something valued has to be sacrificed. Follow my thinking. Among the great things we value is love. […]
Read More A Few Questions On CompromiseOne of the things I like about blogs and podcasts is the ability to check the archives. I’ve been on a really extensive enjoyment of podcasts in recent months. I feel late to the party, but that’s not unusual. There are podcasts that I prefer to listen to the latest episodes, but some have me […]
Read More The Importance of the Team ThemeA lot of time is spent in the workplace. Apparently, for a lot of people, more waking time is spent in the workplace than anywhere else.

Read More Take Another LookMeans of communication. They’re quite something these days. Send a tweet. Post a photo on Insta.

Read More If You Love The CallerNearly there, but not quite. For a long time the group were used to getting nearly there but not quite. Just missing out on achieving their desired outcomes.

Read More Rest and Be TogetherYou are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple. He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
