I saw a post on an instagram story yesterday that made me shake my head with a resounding.. “yeaaaah, very true.” It was Morgan Freeman sitting in an armchair, with the following quote over his head: “Toxic mothers are just as bad as absent fathers, but ya’ll ain’t ready for that discussion yet”. It was… Continue reading Loving Millennials

Lessons from Job
In all the times I have read the book of Job, I never paid attention much to how quickly the end is wrapped up. Have you? I was thinking about this last weekend for some reason.
