Understanding Humility
Last updated on: July 29, 2022 at 11:17 am By Richard E. Simmons III
Being humble is not something that comes naturally to us as human beings. I have found that most people do not really know what humility looks like. Historically, humility has been linked to the word meekness. In the Beatitudes we hear Jesus say, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Of course, […] Read more

Faking It Through Life
Last updated on: July 22, 2022 at 1:32 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
Have you ever thought about how common it is for people to fake it through life? That is, to show yourself to be something you’re not? It involves hiding flaws and weaknesses and seeking to appear in the eyes of others as if you really have your life together. I remember when a man I […] Read more

The Mind and the Heart
Last updated on: July 6, 2022 at 2:21 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
In describing us to other people, my wife will tell them she is a feeler and that I am a thinker. She is very emotional and I am much more stoic. We recognize how this enables us to compliment one another as husband and wife. However, there are also times these differences can create problems. […] Read more

The Proper Order of Our Desires
Last updated on: June 24, 2022 at 10:51 am By Richard E. Simmons III
