What is it in our brains that tells we need to do all the right things before coming to God, when what is actually needed is for us to build a relationship with Him…and then we’ll do the right things because we love Him. Doing right, being “righteous” is essential if we want our heart…

We embrace the lives of super heroes because our heart wants to believe that they are good…and that they are defenders of truth! However, what is truth, exactly?

The greatest commandments of all…love God, and love one another. So simple, that of course those that heard Jesus give this command walked in it perfectly, right? Think again. Sometimes, walking in love toward someone else is the most difficult thing we will ever do, but there are ways to handle these moments of love…

We treasure each moment, remembering everything that is said and done, and afterward, we contemplate the experience, squeezing every last bit of joy out of the memory.
