Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013

Some of us have to lower our expectations in order to find what we are looking for, others of us need to change them completely

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

We all have a tendency to reject a new idea, or a new revelation of truth because we like the old too much. Like an old, stiff wineskin, our hearts and minds can calcify until we become so inflexible we can’t accept change.

Contributed by Fatima Gutierres on Dec 9, 2016
