Conformity offers protection from criticism. But those who succeed don’t care about criticism. They become adept at new or better ways of doing things despite opinions. Nice guys finish last...

Numerous other miracles occurred as Jesus interacted with people. He defied normal logic yet was down-to-earth and practical. Let’s focus on Luke’s account… “When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, but the crowds...
