3:192 – People Are Dumb #faithbites #faithjourney dumb I’m sitting poolside listening to the kids ages 6,9,10,11. They were talking about behaving and then it got to wearing masks. My daughter said people are dumb when they aren’t wearing masks and they don’t know how to wear them. While I don’t necessarily agree with that statement, as a species we […]
3:191 – Being Perfect Isn’t Required #faithbites #faithjourney perfect Setting Today, my kids and I were recording a lesson for our online Vacation Bible School. Let’s just say, it was far from perfect. Kids messing around, switching up words, and being a bit antsy. I did a few edits and realized, it was good enough. The point was to share […]

3:189 – Pretending Is Exhausting #faithbites #faithjourney pretending Yesterday, we talked about how people may be sick or in pain but “look ok“.

3:186 – Freedom Isn’t Free #faithbites #faithjourney freedom Happy Independence Day, America. This is the day back in 1776 when a bunch of traitors declared their independence from a tyrannical government. We have the country we have because of these men. Were they perfect? No. Did they implement their idea perfectly? No. Do we have a framework that can make […]
3:185 – And I Screwed Up Again #faithbites #faithjourney screwed So this #faithbites was going to be about something else and then I screwed up again. Yelled again twice when I shouldn’t have. I apologize am forgiven and then it happens again. I’m not asking for absolution, just frustrated at myself. How many times have I don’t this, said I […]
3:184 – I Want To Buy #faithbites #faithjourney buy So, we are on vacation and my.kida, especially my youngest, wants to buy everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, everything is “I’ve always wanted this”. So she kept buying stuff and I helped her on making some good choices but she still wanted more. My eldest then ran out of […]
