Dale Howie — My early years as a Christian characterized by the need to be right. All convections and few opinions defined my approach to life. The test of faithfulness found in the extremes. Being right was everything!

A better sense of balance has characterized my later years. Being right, I’ve found highly overrated and very divisive. Relationships are what matters; people are the heavenly gifts! I now have fewer convictions and far more opinions. It is not that truth matters less. It is that truth is a person, Jesus Christ. And He is our Brother! We are in a relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We can be face-to-face-to-face with Them and with each other. They will sort out our wrongheadedness as we journey together.
