Thanks For Being Imperfect
I was reminded yet again that I could be real with God, I told my fellow pastors. I learned that I didn’t have to offer some kind of churchy, holy-sounding prayer in order to be heard in heaven. “You might as well tell God what you think,” I said. “He already knows it anyway. — Todd Burpo, Heaven Is for […]

I could relate to feeling empty after pouring […]
