Yes, I am finding that approach more peaceful, and I'm just letting myself laugh about much more.

I think there's a need to craft things in subtle ways through stories. Look forward! Great title, Juniper Mountain. 👍

Yes, I think we need more stories and fewer arguments!

That is such a striking verse! I preached on it in a series on Philippians last fall and it was quite the challenge for all of us!

I loved your point about complaints often coming from a place of wanting to be seen. That resonated with me, in addition to the point about us being able to rest because God already sees us. I don't get time to read my non-work emails often, but when I do I always appreciate yours. I've also signed up to receive Juniper Mountain (here's hoping I can keep up with it). That's a very exciting project and I respect and encourage your creative drive!

Ha! I do that arguing in my head with people too ... and I'm not even that much on social media!
