I Went to a Kids’ Rodeo Today

I went to a Bible Rodeo for kids. They practiced for a week leading up to the event. They had real animals. They roped them, they tied them, they wrestled them.

Opinions Are Often Vain Imaginations

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 Opinions can be idols. We speak ours, we elevate them, we share them with others, we think about them a lot and get mad when people don’t accept them or agree. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
