Historical Figures
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why? My first choice would be Jesus Christ. Assuming he really did have all the powers he said he did, the fact that I don’t speak any Aramaic would not be an issue which would prevent us from having a conversation about what…

I do not trust my instincts
Do you trust your instincts? “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Jer 17:9 KJV In a culture that fights between logic and rationality on the one hand and following our hearts and doing what we love on the other, I tend to lean into the former. This…
