Raise your hand if you have made plans and then canceled them at the last minute for no apparent reason. Millennials and Gen-Zers, are notorious for making plans and then canceling them. Because there is something within us that believes that what I say and promise doesn’t matter and doesn’t hold weight. We can get into much trouble, leading to a lack of conviction within our hearts.
Jesus, in this Sunday’s gospel, says, “Let your yeses be yeses, and your noes be noes.” Be convicted. Realize that what you say matters and that what you say is either the truth or a lie. The Father in heaven has given us speech, and he has given us a voice to speak the truth. And the truth is Jesus Christ. If we cannot follow through on little things like making plans, then how can we follow through on eternal things?

The Narrow Gate
I just got back from an incredible camping trip in Montana. One thing that was so amazing about this trip is that in order to go to this camping site, we had to go into this narrow valley. And in this narrow valley, we couldn’t use our phones at all and we knew that. We were willing to give up our phones, our social media, everything…

Love Mary Like I Love Harry Kane
We just had the World Series, and it was awesome. Please don’t tell the government, please don’t judge me, but I actually was rooting for the team of England.
