A Spiritual Awakening
I thought this was on par 🙂 Twelve Symptoms of a Spiritual Awakening: 1. An increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. 2. Frequent attacks of smiling. 3. Feelings of being connected with others and with nature. 4. Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation. 5. A tendency to think and act spontaneously…

It Goes On
If it’s not something you’d want people to find out about, don’t do it. There’s a clear line that shouldn’t be crossed. We all know it’s there, but sometimes it’s easier to pretend it’s not, for whatever reason. The line, however invisible, is inarguably and unmistakably clear. If you want to risk the jump, suffer…

Who Sits in Your Front Row?

I’ve Learned.
I’ve learned that I can be a Christian and hold a temporary grudge. Just because I love mankind doesn’t mean that I have to like everyone at any given moment. I’ve learned that iron sharpens iron and you do become the company you choose to keep… so choose wisely. I’ve learned that it’s more admirable…
