Praise - My Word for 2022
Praise is my word for 2022. My hopes is that instead of FML mindset I will have one based on thanksgiving. I don't have much of a plan yet so forgive me as this is going to be somewhat fluid throughout the next year. I would like to meditate on scriptures, quotes, and thoughts regularly to change my interior heart. I would like to create a praise playlist w…

Can We Learn Something In This?
As many of you know, I am student of the state of being. I will sit with a giant oak and learn how it lives it's purpose without crazy mind wandering on how to do. It doesn't struggle with the meaning of life, or if it is doing enough, or any of the busy nonsense that I get caught up in. So, as a student, I ask, can we learn something from this passage: …
