Pause+Pray

Sometimes we overcomplicate things and slip out of an awareness of our inherent union with God and abiding in the Trinity. Maybe the tension is where the wheat in your life is growing among the weeds.

Our faith reminds us that we all make up the body of Christ. Therefore, we are all neighbors, even if that idea makes us uncomfortable.

Spiritual decluttering frees our calendars and spirits so that we have the time and energy to nurture our own talents and the gifts of others.

Driving often brings out the worst in us. We have things to get done and so little time to do them. Anything that slows us down can make us irritable.

St. Augustine hit the nail on the head when he famously said, “Love and then do as you please.” All the commandments align as we try to love God and love our neighbor.

Some like to manipulate words in the Bible to make certain passages suit their personal desires. The reality is that we must strive to take a good look at ourselves and treat others as God wants us to.
