All things
Lately, I've been rather unforgiving. There are events that happened years ago that left some emotional scars on my husband. I try to forgive people when it's just me, but I get defensive as all get out…

Call to perfection
This whole section of this chapter of Ephesians seems like a huge task: this call to perfection in words, actions, and thoughts. But what makes these verses stand out to me today is not the enormity of…

Judging and Actions
