COACHING

Many of us were taught about original sin and "humanity's fallen state". Psalm 51:5. I suggest we refine the interpretation. We make mistakes. We do and say awful things. We mess up.

The shadow side of humanity is at play. The news is disturbing. Our own situation can be daunting. And yet... “When I play, I feel the...
