4:14- Changing Your Approach #faithbites #faithjourney approach Setting “Have kids”, they say. “It will be fun”, they say. I love my kids and do enjoy them. Like all parents, there are times when our children drive us crazy. Times when no matter what we try doesn’t seem to work. As Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and […]
4:13 – Blind Allegiance Vs Blind Faith #faithbites #faithjourney blind Setting If you’re an avid reader of #faithbites or follow me on social media, you know that I wrestle with difficult topics.

4:12 – Having Fun With Work #faithbites #faithjourney fun Setting Today was a busy day at work, but I did have fun. I was able to facilitate a session for two hours with second-year medical students.

I don’t know […]
4:10 – Back in My Day! #faithbites #faithjourney back Setting Back in my day we had to walk to school barefoot in the snow uphill, both ways.

4:9 – Right Message, Wrong Messenger #faithbites #faithjourney message Setting Today I was involved in a very heated debate on Facebook. It was around politics and beliefs. During the debate, it became clear that no matter what I said or what facts I shared, there was no way to convince this person of the truth. It was as if they […]
4:8 – What Are You Putting Into the World? #faithbites #faithjourney putting Setting What are you putting into the world? Is it love, kindness, and compassion?

4:7 – Security Shaken But Not Gone! #faithbites #faithjourney security Setting (Trigger Warning) Yesterday (and to some extent today) was hard. I watched on TV as armed rioters (I won’t get into if we called them rioters or terrorists or whatever) pushed passed security, broke into the capital, fired shots, and held our congress at bay for hours.
