3:268 – Sharing Jesus #faithbites #faithjourney sharing #pli Setting Today was day 2 of our third D2MC immersion. That is a program helping us to become disciples who can disciple others.

3:259 – Stop Complicating Things! #faithbites #faithjourney complicating Setting We often say life is hard. People are hard to get along with. There is too much to do.

3:238 – It Takes A Village #faithbites #faithjourney village Tonight I was leading workshop for clinicians and let’s just say one of the “joys” of working from home happened: Child meltdown.

3:230 – Is Your But Getting In the Way? #faithbites #faithjourney but Setting “I like this dinner, but the veggies are too salty”. “Our country is good but it has too many problems.”. “This movie was good but the lead actor can’t act.” “Daddy, I like this slushy but there is too much cherry to the coke” (Yes, that one […]
3:228 – Respect One Another #faithbites #faithjourney respect Setting I was trying to take a well-deserved nap this afternoon, and my youngest kept waking me up. I asked her if it was nice to wake me up and she said no. This behavior continues on and off and not just waking me up. Then we have the talk about respecting […]
3:219 – Keeping It Simple #faithbites #faithjourney simple Setting My tank is empty today. Work was challenging, and then all the daily factors of life make me just tired.
