Sunday Night Brain Dump 4/21
I apologize for it being so long since my last post. If I’m honest I just haven’t felt creative enough to write out a post. God is still doing incredible things at Five Stones and I think that is another reason that I just haven’t had time to sit down and write about all that [...]

The basic idea is you can’t not know what you already know; and once you know it, it’s very difficult to remember what it’s like not to know. Have you ever experienced this phenomenon?

Yesterday was a great day at Five Stones as we launched our series called “Baggage.” So many people are loaded down with Baggage.
