There is a beautiful thing called Imperfect Progress. It comes when we take slow steps of progress wrapped in grace. Lysa TerKeurst I don’t know about you, but there are some things I need to be perfect and others I don’t. So many times, I’ve watched YouTube videos of people folding fitted sheets and […]
Living Eulogy she danced. she sang. she took. she gave. she loved. she created. she dissented. she enlivened. she saw. she grew. she sweated. she changed. she learned. she laughed. she shed her skin. she bled on the pages of her days, she walked through walls, she lived with intention. Mary […]
We can’t have moral obligations to every single person in this world. We have moral obligations to those who we come up against, who enter into our moral space, so to speak.
