Becoming

The piece below – a conversation between God and someone like you – was recently sent to me. It really got my attention. Enjoy! Me: Hey God. God: Hello….. Me: I’m falling apart. Can you put me back together? God: I would rather not. Me: Why? God: Because you aren’t a puzzle. Me: What aboutContinue reading “Becoming”
