• Not Everything Needs To Be Said

  

  I love this man dearly. He is a person of deep integrity and grace who has put up with me for more years than I can imagine. I do not love his driving. I’m the more aggressive driver of the two of us. My average speed is nine miles over the limit–I’m not the fastest…

• Who Is Your Heart Listening To?

    One of the greatest disrespects we level at others is to make assumptions about who they are without ever listening to them. Without ever considering their story. To have another base their opinion of me on what they think they know about me without ever having spoken to me is disingenuous and hurtful. When…
