Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Parked cars reveal more than most people think. Every object in plain sight—from fast food bags to gym gear—offers clues about the person behind the wheel. Strangers, thieves, and even curious passersby use these small details to form judgments, assumptions, and in some cases, make decisions. That gym bag might scream discipline, or that laptop bag might scream “steal me.” Whether it’s fair or not,
Criminals don’t always lurk in the shadows. Increasingly, they walk right through the front door, dressed like everyone else, acting like they belong. With security systems and surveillance becoming more advanced, the need to blend in has never been more critical.

Congregations are shrinking, especially among younger generations and marginalized groups, and it’s not because people no longer care about faith or spirituality. Instead, it’s often because the church environment itself
The steeples still rise. The doors remain open. The hymns still echo from sanctuaries across the country. But for many who walk through the doors seeking comfort, clarity, and community, something essential feels absent. Beneath the surface of tradition and scripture, a quiet exodus is unfolding—one not necessarily of feet leaving pews, but of hearts quietly detaching from the very institutions that once held them
Love is one of the most powerful forces in the human experience, but it doesn’t always follow the rules we expect.
