Ever wonder about this? Or since there is a sufficient amount of drama and chaos that whoever should be in charge… isn’t. Who should? Should you be in charge? Maybe you should but you don’t have the authority? Does this only happen in work situation or volunteer ones as well … in your family? All

For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.” (Luke 6:38, AMP) Cheerfully? Grudgingly? What is
I know I chunter on a great deal about application. It’s important! Because how do you really know you know unless you understand?
