Refocus
Today I am trying to refocus on things of eternal significance and being distracted by my politics and the cat. It’s hard to remember sometimes that the neediest people are actually image bearers of God. And our family has its own needs. It’s very easy for my adult children to become dysregulated when I’m attending…

Wrestling with the Sabbath
I went to church today. I told a few people about the week I’ve had. My wife leaving The Church. Letting a homeless man stay in our basement.

My Two Cents

Ambivalent
I was pretty ambivalent about my wife leaving the Church until it actually happened. I understand her reasons and share some of them. My testimony has always been irregular and now I am questioning whether I can call it a testimony at all. I have little interest in being temple worthy and remain adamant that…
