Very few people know this about me, but something I’ve practiced for years is the skill of sitting in the stillness of God’s presence.

Two Trees
I left social media. I didn’t deactivate my accounts, but I left... Promising myself I would return when I felt I could consume without being burdened by pride, hate, bitterness, anger, jealousy, grief and shame. That’s what social media does to me. I pick it up with the idea of “connecting” to “share” my world… Continue reading Two Trees
