The Measure of a Mom: How Women Combat Comparison
“Sadly, when we insist on comparing our mothering, ministry, appearance, or career choices with other women, we come up short every single time because we are holding ourselves to an unrealistic standard.

Social media hands women a broken yardstick for measuring our performance and our worth.”

Does he save? And who is Jesus?“
Who Wrote the Bible?
Robert Cara has a short but helpful piece on the authorship of Scripture.

Flashback: Busy, Lazy, and the Space in Between
We need a word of virtue that fits in the space between busy and lazy. We need to use it, and we need to live it.
Spiritual authority depends more on care given than on power wielded.
