Fear of Missing Out…
People will make emotional decisions when they feel like they might miss out on something. I encourage you to use wisdom and discernment when faced with big decisions. Pray about them, and listen for the voice of our Creator to guide you…
Speaking of Kindness…
The tongue is a laser sharp instrument. It can heal or it can hurt. Your choice, but I encourage you to return kind words to others, not stinging rebukes. Both of you will benefit…

Our culture has adopted political correctness in a failed attempt to stop people from being rude. Rudeness is never okay, but trying to fix internal heart problems with external answers is in vain.
Beliefs…
Do you consider yourself to be open minded? Whenever we are discussing a topic, pretty much any topic, our belief system is attached to our side of the discussion. Sometimes what we may believe is incorrect. And if that is the case, be humble and learn…
