There's a word we use over and over. Fine. How are you? Fine. I'm sorry I did that to you. It's fine. Are you ok? I'm fine. Sometimes I don't think we're even aware we're doing it. I got caught saying "fine" a lot the last several days. Yesterday, one of my friends called me… Continue reading We’re all (not) fine

The thing about GRACE
I think I've said this before, but I asked God to give me a word for this season or year or whatever (basically until He gives me a new word likely) and that word was "grace".
