We are family. No need to cue the famous song though it’ll probably be stuck in my head the rest of the month.

I wrote this poem after praying about where the root of perfectionism is in my life and reading through the Book of John. What I have written is the response I believe God has given me to my prayer. As I recalled verses about how Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (Jhn
