Let Your “Yes” Mean “Yes”
Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow.' But I say to you...Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the Evil One.” Matthew, 5:33 Plain …
Sitting on the Bed
Sitting on my son's bed, listening to the sounds. In the dim light, thinking. He asked me to sit with him as he fell asleep. Quickly so. His sisters already softly snoring in slumber. Later than I'd like but then, a few moments to write, to capture the night. Grateful for that, for their slumber, …
