Who’s picking up the tab?
As seasoned Christians, we are often faced with questions from those who are curious about our faith.

My False Expectations
Let me get all of this off my chest: Please forgive me. I have been blaming you all these years. What I’ve held in resentment against you makes no sense. See, I was mad at you for not loving me the way I THOUGHT I SHOULD BE LOVED. I’m sorry for holding my false expectations…

I’m so embarrassed!
Ever embarrass yourself in front of a bunch of people? I have! Being a child of God doesn’t mean your “human side” won’t show up. Au contrairé. As a matter of fact, being human AND having the Holy Spirit makes us special and unique. Just like Jesus, we are human and walking in the divine…

For the Love of God…
