Motivation: Ditch the Fake ID

---

If you’d like to be more motivated in an area of your life, don’t try to drum up more motivation. Instead, focus on changing how you see yourself. Whether you’re lying on the sofa in front of the TV or outside working in the yard, you’re motivated. Your motivation level is not the issue. How [...]

Purity: Resting or Struggling

---

Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day. -Pooh’s Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A.

Banana-Cinnamon-and-Honey pancakes, Blueberry-Pear pancakes, Apple-Walnut-and-Brown-Sugar pancakes, and the “Kitchen Sink” pancakes that include dregs from all the previous batches and anything else dad decides to throw in. My kids love it. Well, they love the eating part. They hate the waiting part. We adults are [...]

Choosing Christ without Demanding Change

The Legacy of Alan Medinger
