It’s back to school time! So how do we keep our technology safe? Or, for many of us, how do we push tech back into the normal little box we used to keep it in? Today we’re going to talk specifically about how we can prepare for this new season of school and tech in...
We have a problem with comparison. We are constantly trying to decide if we’re good enough for God, as parents, as citizens, based on how we perceive we rank to those around us. It’s for this reason social media is so devastating to so many of us. We are constantly...
