Marriage is good; idolizing it, not so much.

LETTER FROM STAFF
James Clapper

James Clapper | Project Admin

Since it’s my turn for the staff letter, I figured I’d stay on personal brand and share a story from the Desert Fathers that convicted me this week:

“Abba Zeno said, ‘If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks.’”

How often do you pray for your enemies?
