Labor and Rest
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 Your day off may involve a bbq, friends over for a party or one last day of vacation. I encourage you to rest. All that fun is wonderful but is it restful? Hard work and rest…

Change
Life changes so fast. In a blink or a millisecond your entire world can shift under your feet. Humans can’t predict every change. We just have to learn to be flexible in our hearts, minds and life. Expect the unexpected.

Dogs
Not everyone loves dogs. I don’t trust those people. Yes, I’m serious. Dogs are excellent judges of character in humans. They know good people and they can sense when something isn’t right. You can’t trust every human, but you can trust most dogs. Consider getting a good dog.
