A muppet character famously said, “peoples is peoples” implying that we as human beings are all the same, no matter who we are or where we are from.
Same & Equal Is this popular phrase true? It certainly is typical for individuals living within the same society or culture to have their own set of cultural norms, beliefs, morals, and ideas about what is normal. But what about when you cross …
God has wired us, you and me, for connection. And that’s a connection to each other. I need you for my emotional and psychological well-being. You need me too because this helps us live well. Our kids need this connection too.

If ever there’s a season of miracles, it’s the Christmas season.

A number of years ago one of Jim Henson’s Muppet characters famously said, “peoples is peoples” with the implication that no matter who we are or where we come from, we’re all basically the same.
