POD #10: Sorry, not sorry As I read this, I thought I don't apologize for things that I am not at fault for. Then my mind turned towards a gift from my husband from last year. I don't really carry a purse, but I love looking at them and always fall in love with the... Continue Reading →

I've been thinking a lot about condemnation - the guilt, not fear, that keeps people from stepping out. Guilt of past actions and inactions.

At work the other day, our team was discussing giving others grace and mercy. We didn't use those words, but that is what it boiled down to.
