Could Have Done More The trip home from my missions’ trip to Papua New Guinea and the Philippines was long and tiring and sweaty hot, and uncomfortable. So, in my “weakened state”, the conversations in my head took a turn for the worse. The little voice started to tell me that I could have done […]

The World Does Not Owe Us a Darn Thing I was doing a little self-reflection this morning and I saw that buried deep I’ve got some “the world owes me” stuff going on. This belief, the world owes me, is incredibly damaging. It turns us into victims, waiting for an outside force to impact us […]
