Howdy, Zack here. Grace is freely given by God to each of us, yet we often withhold it from ourselves and others. Consider your day yesterday—were there moments where having more grace could have made a positive difference? I can recall several moments from my own day: being quick to judge, lacking patience, not listening attentively, and sometimes telling rather than asking. As Edgar H. Schein eloquently states in his book, "Humble Inquiry": "What we choose to ask, when we ask, what our underlying attitude is as we ask—all are key to relationship building, to communication, and to task performance." This book, recommended to me years ago by my friend and mentor, Don Pierro, shed light on my need for growth in 'Humble Inquiry'. Reflecting on it now, I see how integral grace is to this process. Grace is a gift to you and others around you. Consider... 3 WAYS
Just remember:
Choosing grace as your initial response benefits both you and those around you. For Christians, grace serves as a bridge to God, enriching each day with beauty and joy rather than burden and frustration. Embrace the power to choose grace for yourself and others. 😌

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...
Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...
