I think that it's essential to our faith that we are real with one another and real before God.  I think there are 3 levels of being real.  The first is level involves masks.  It's about pretending to be something we're not.  It's about image and self-esteem.

This is the first time I've had a day off in a LONG time.  This week has been pretty quiet for business so there's no better opportunity to take some time off.  My family (Dad's side) just got into town and Jen is going to meet them for the first time.

Kristyn Leigh will be at the Mosaic Cafe this friday June 20th from 7:00 to 9:00.  She is an incredible christian artist so don't miss her!
