Stirring Grey Spaces
by Leah Jones
We're here to sit in the grey spaces. The mental glitches that disrupt our day due to emotion we've experienced in the past. The spiritual stagnation experienced when our stories of harm are ignored or left unrecognized. The darkest corners of our hearts where the Holy Spirit lives unafraid. The spaces we need others to reflect Jesus and show us grace rather than judgement.

Kids Say the Darnedest Things
For my 50th birthday I asked my kids to record this episode. I knew it would be fun. I was not prepared for the depth of knowledge, wisdom and incredible insight this crew would bring. Maybe that's a mom fail. I don't think we're ever ready for our kids to mature and grow as much as they do as...
