I’m not terribly self-aware, but one thing I do know about myself is that my opinions can be fairly easily swayed. I’m not a gifted arguer…put me with someone who is and I’m going down–for sure.

Give me your eyes, part 2
Sometimes I’m like the guy in this video. So self-focused and self-absorbed. So critical of other people. Not considering their feelings, struggles, or pain. That’s why I’m asking God to let me see people through His eyes. This video says it all. Watch it. Let it sink in.

blogging vs. twitter
I’ve been behind on my blog reading and blog writing lately. Feeling a bit restless, can’t stay put long enough to blog. I’ve also been thinking in shorter bursts. Feeling discombobulated, and a bit unconnected to myself–does that sound weird? Yeah, it feels weird too. When my 11 year old told me she’d set up a Twitter–and [...]
