Despite our best efforts to restore the brightness of Christmas we crave. Most “joy-bringers,” when chased, reveal themselves to be Christmas killjoys.

Friend-Shipwrecked

Deep friendship is essential in an increasingly isolated world. Cultivate friendships through time, curiosity, and vulnerability, enriching life and combating loneliness.

“Forgiveness”, “reconciliation”, and “restoration” are not synonyms, they are separate actions that might entail the healing of a relationship, but the three are not necessary components of one another.

There are diverse motivations for prayer, from seeking medical benefits to fostering relationships. Prayer is about developing a relationship with God, who cares for humanity. Ultimately, prayer involves persistence, faith, and understanding God’s timing.
