Where is the Standard?
Hello Beautiful, This week, after listening to a snippet of an old sermon, I begin to think about the correlation between the erosion of the church (Christian) and the lack of values we see displayed in society today.

No Longer a Willing Participant
Happy Sunday, Beautiful! Now that it’s spring ball time, as in spring football for CU, it seems that things are ramping up to increase engagement from the fans. And last year, I fell for it hard (a true sucka). I was so excited. As a result of lessons learned from last year...let’s just say that I am being intentional about making some different decisions this year cause we ain’t doing repeats in 2025! My willingness to alter how I participate sparked today’s topic. In short, if we want something different, we have to do something different…even if everyone else is saying something completely different you can choose to no longer participate. #beautifuliamcolored Reference from today’s show Life on Promise View Acres --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evelyn5706/message

In today's episode, I share an alternative perspective so that our energy is not tied up into things coming from one source/person. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/evelyn5706/message
