Truth…
Have you ever heard someone say, “speak your truth?” It’s a popular saying nowadays. There is only one truth, and it isn’t subject to new interpretations. Live by the truth of our Creator…
Kindness Matters…
Every person you encounter has something troubling them. You probably will not see it on the surface level, but that doesn’t make it less real. Slow down and show kindness to everyone, even the people who don’t deserve it. They need kindness shown to them the most, and you will benefit as well…

All across society, we see people who are trying to find themselves through external means. I’ve done it myself, which I discussed in my book, “Killing My Father Then Finding Him.” Here’s some truth: we find our value when we realize God created us exactly how He wanted us to be. Accept that truth and you will accept yourself…
