We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. (Proverbs 16:9 NLT)

With the Holy Spirit as our conductor, think of the beautiful, God-glorifying, life-transforming music we can make as we all play together in Complete Harmony!

I’m learning to see every grace, each blessing, every gift, that comes my way as intended by God to help others.

I know we each have our own history, our own baggage, our own prejudices to live with and, by the Grace of God, to overcome.

Let’s build bridges, not barricades!

I want to be part of a family of God, a body of Christ, that is united in Christ and wonderfully, delightfully, frustratingly different in its parts, its expressions, and its appearance.

In this season of my life, the pace seems to have quickened considerably!

Paul said that all of God’s people-related commandments are summed up in this – “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Freedom of expression can lend itself to abuse and abusiveness!

These are the attitudes and behaviors that will best express the Christ nature that lives in us.
