About this time last year, you were probably really worried about something. Maybe it was a relationship on the rocks, financial uncertainty, the loss of a loved one, or something else from the endless list of things that can go wrong. Car trouble. A bad haircut, or a cavity. Oh! A really gnarly zit right in … Continue reading Worry
Change
I'm part of a generation that has been largely led to believe that people (and the world) should accept us exactly as we are. With the best of intentions, people mutter the phrase, "If they truly love you, you won't have to change for them." But I have to respectfully call this what it is: … Continue reading Change

Kids in school wouldn't have the latest name brands to separate themselves into social hierarchies. And ladies, many of you would be filthy rich if … Continue reading Fig Leaf Fashion
When Jesus Walks Away
It's easy to understand how Jesus stirred up such a commotion when people saw what He could do. I sometimes picture something similar to the "Bring out your dead" scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (with the opposite end result, of course). Okay... all joking aside, there was one case of a woman who … Continue reading When Jesus Walks Away
