August 9th, 2024
One of the most striking takeaways for me from our recent trip to Thailand was the plethora of Buddhist shrines and temples.

Maturing through Suffering
August 8th, 2024
I recently ran across the following quote: “Maturity requires suffering. Some of [the suffering] may be petty, some of it may be serious, and some of it may be so psychologically scarring that you’ll be getting over it for a long time.” Suffering comes in a variety of forms and can ebb and flow through various seasons. But one thing is for sure: it is often the catalyst for spiritual maturing. Her...
