126 The Blame Game

March 29, 2023 08:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MB

The Blame Game is one game that the more you play, the more you lose. Blaming others is a common human behavior where individuals attribute their problems, mistakes, or failures to other people rather than taking responsibility themselves.

The Kintsugi Artisan

March 15, 2023 08:00 - 10 minutes - 7.28 MB

In Japan, when a pottery piece is broken, it’s not thrown away. The Japanese art form that involves repairing broken pottery is called Kintsugi. It’s a technique that puts the object back together using gold resin to not only make the broken object look beautiful and unique, but to also emphasize the beauty of imperfection and brokenness. Like the Japanese pottery, we also get broken needing repair. It’s through God’s grace and love we can experience redemption and restoration. We are repa...
