Trust and Obey – or Obey and Trust? Part Two
A Sad Late Addition After writing what is now called Part One of this article, something much more current popped into my mind (and heart). Reading again that little adage regarding acting yourself into a better way of thinking rather than vice versa jogged my memory...
