    Thoughtful Thursday: Come and See

    You know, I’ve been slacking on this thing, but I don’t really feel bad about it. I’m trying to reduce shame in my life, and as good as motivator as it can be, I think it often serves a toxic purpose. That isn’t to say that we shouldn’t feel shame when we make egregious character…
