I will put you on my morning prayer list. Teaching is such a sobering activity because of its weight in God’s eyes. I pray He gives you wisdom for both the truths you teach and the structure you put them in! Peace, brother...andy </p> All my best for your book, Shaun. I will put you on my morning prayer list.

One day, I found myself in the thick of a sin it had never crossed my mind I would ever do.  It was a very powerful and humbling experience.  It made me realize that I was absolutely capable of doing anything.  And in that realization comes the ability to see others through the same eyes.  With compassion.  With understanding.  It is no longer me versus them, it is more–where do we go from here?  How can I love away the monster inside you?
