‘Sarayu spoke. “Mackenzie, you cannot produce trust just like you cannot ‘do’ humility. It either is or is not. Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me.”‘ The Shack – William P. Young Let that sink […]

‘For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’ Matthew 6:21 It’s the first day, of a new year. I have never been one for new year’s resolutions. I’m more of a ‘grow as you go’ sort of person. Constant renewal and the consistent grind stands the test of time more successfully, I […]
