Living our Story

We are human. Sometimes in our life’s story we are the hero, sometimes the victim, sometimes the villain.

We are human, rounded out with good qualities, vulnerabilities, and dangerous behaviors.

The best we can do is when we are the hero to not let it go to our heads or corrupt our tendencies toward compassion; when we are the victim to remember God is with us in our pain, express our lament, and stand up for ourselves and others justly and rightly so as not to simply turn the tables and make ourselves the one who harms others; and when we find ourselves the villain to own it, apologize and ask for forgiveness, set right what we have done to the best of our abilities and with God’s help, and honestly address with our true self the reason for being harmful to others so we can grow beyond the dangerous behavior.

We are human, created good in the image of our Creator who is Love. Let’s be human together, to the best of our abilities and with God’s help.

I pray your coffee is good and your day is fulfilling.
