Raising the Bar
No, in the case of this first photo, they kept lowering the bar when we were doing the limbo at our “Senior” Prom last week. What a fun time we had. But this blog is about raising the bar. I’m excited that our world has opened back up and the 2021 Olympics will be played…
Are We Behaving Wisely?
Typically, we use the word, misbehaving, when it comes to the way our children act up.

Raising the Bar — Status Quo….Unacceptable!
God certainly set the bar high for us when He said words like this: “Love your enemies!” “Have peace in the midst of storms!” “Overcome evil with good!” “Be perfect as I am perfect.” “Don’t judge and you will not be judged.” “Have faith and don’t doubt.” “I’ve made you MORE than conquerors.” He didn’t…
