This important prayer has been part of Christian teaching for centuries. Having been translated and rewritten numerous times over the years, who knows how much of… More Expanded Translation of Prayer
Society has become such a fast-paced lifestyle that most of us don’t spend enough time in mirror work to see how we really show up in the world. I am reading a book (and involved with a book study) called The Four Pivots by Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD. I just started reading it, but I… More Mirror Work
