Whether it’s STORMS or storms, what does a panic response get you? Panic, too often, is the common initial reaction… but we don’t need to continue in that vein. Truly, panic doesn’t accomplish anything. Remember the story in Matthew when Jesus and the disciples were in a boat crossing the sea: “When He got into
The first question is … who set your boundaries? You? Circumstances? “Life”? Did you give this power and authority to someone else to make those determinations for/over you? Why?

Hurts and Highs… we all experience both… what do we do with them, how do they define us? Will you look life squarely in the eye and say… actually, what will you say? You do realize that both highs and hurts give us opportunities to learn.? We never seem to stay in one place long… for every

Current events: we will come out of this world-wide culture change and into… what? I’m not certain that we can expect the SOSO. Nor am I certain we want that. If not what was, then what will we create? Your return circumstances may not seem different from what was or… is it? Do you have a
