navigate but the key to transformation begins with our thoughts. What we think

can determine whether we face change quickly or at last longer than it has to.

wait to get out of the place and you're bored silly the whole time you're there

then you really should seriously consider putting your time into something

that's gonna bear a really good fruit in your life. Amen. There's lots of

wonderful churches you just need to be in one where you're challenged and
