Creative Anthology Moves You Toward ...

In the very beginning stages of my ministry, I became obsessed with followers and likes. I would constantly be checking after posts if our follower account increased day by day. I started very quickly losing sight of the point of this ministry and who it was for. In our human weakness, we try to...

I associate Pride with all those ‘other people’ who are openly arrogant, self-indulged, smug. I don’t consider myself akin to those endlessly striving for stardom, recognition, glory. But I now know I’m wrong.

This Sunday, with almost two weeks left before Christmas, St. Paul tells us to “rejoice always!”
