Putting Proverbs into Action: Day Three

Today was communion Sunday at my church. Contemplation prior to taking communion revealed some unfinished business nestled in a dark corner of my heart—a few "grudges" needed to be dealt with. It was time for "giving up the grudge." Nothing major, if grudges can be...
Rewind and Reset.
One thing I love about teaching is the amazing opportunity to help shape a child's future. Speak into their identity formation. I suppose that is why I am still teaching. Whenever I think of calling it quits, this little voice reminds me that teaching is in my DNA—it...
