Apostolic
Advocacy is listening and reflecting what is heard – an apostle is full of mercy. The world is a noisy place full of sound and fury and quiet is hard to come by. Desperate to be left alone, solo silos are created… rendering all senseless. So, chaos abounds and discord reins with desolation for theContinue reading “Apostolic”
All Things Considered
Not only is “all things considered” just so impossible to achieve, it is, definitely, ill-advised.

Graciousness is a salutary role, there are no rules but there is a way – listen without observing and submit with affirmation. Both welcomed at the table and chosen chum on the couch… considered wanted company is a gift and leads to being a courted blessing.
