Our Past and Our Potential Future...

I just finished reading JD Vance's best-seller, Hillbiliy Elegy, and found the author's frankness refreshing.  Though it reads a bit like a documentary on the poor, white lower class society, I found the ending helpful.  We are all born into a story and our childhood experiences shape our thinking.  As we mature, however, we begin to make our own choices that will determine our own story and potential future.

What choices are we making now that could impact a brighter tomorrow?  Good food for thought Mr. Vance!

Here's a link to the book - probably at the library as well:  https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Elegy-Memoir-Family-Culture/dp/0062300547

Let the Kingdom show!

Read this today in my devotional time.  Here, on day 3 of the season of Easter fasting we call Lent, I found it a powerful statement from an amazing woman of faith:

Pandita Ramabai, a nineteenth-century Indian activist, said, “People must not only hear about the kingdom of God, but must see it in actual operation, on a small scale perhaps and in imperfect form, but a real demonstration nevertheless.”

Indeed, Lord, let Your Kingdom come and will be done!  Followers of Christ, let us reveal the Kingdom in our hearts and lives this season!
