Habits

,
Habits can be hidden or obvious. The vices of habits are well known and we say that these habits need to be broken. However, as humans we are incapable of breaking the root causes of such habits. I believe that only the power of the Holy Spirit…

Dignified

,
This is something that we sometimes wish to be but more often we see this trait in others' lives and respect and honour them for it. I'm reminded of King David - an eminent king - but he had the humility to dance before the Lord in the street…

Being Busy

,
