Ultimate Authority
Growing up with old school parents often meant living by strict rules and stern commands. Phrases like, "I talk. You listen," and "I wish you would try to walk out that door," were common, leaving little room for negotiation or personal choice. Many of you can relate to this upbringing, and some might even long for its return in today's world.

Get The Balance Right
I loved a song in my youth titled ‘Get The Balance Right.’ As with most dance tunes, you never really understand the words until you get older. Then you fully understand its intent.

Today’s devotion tackles that issue with the goal of hoping you too can strike the right balance …
Season Of Separation
I am a person who thrives in the summer. The warmth, the sunlit beach vacations, with family - these are the moments I cherish.

Today’s devotion offers a gentle reminder that even in our moments of solitude, we are never truly alone …

The adage "Practice makes perfect" has been a common refrain over time, but it has evolved into "Practice makes permanent," emphasizing consistency over perfection.

This respect fostered a unique acceptance for our parents' guidance, unlike any other. Coupled with the warmth of love, it begs the question: Are respect and love truly opposites, or do they intertwine? Today's devotion challenges us to explore the interplay between love, fear, and respect, and the answer might surprise you …
