Children Need Healthy Moms AND Dads
Sadly, because most men are taught from an early age that "real men don't cry" and while boys will grow and mature and become strong, men have also lost the skill of how to process THROUGH their emotions. Instead they have just learned "coping" behaviors that numb their feelings so they don't need to experience [...]
Was it Really “Church Hurt”?
The term "church hurt" is all too common today to describe how people have been wronged. ***Disclaimer- if you were abused by people who were an authority you were once submitted to, I do not discredit your pain one bit. People in authority in ANY organization must be held accountable for their actions. And sadly, [...]
Where Did The Time Go?
We read all the baby books, we survived sleepless nights, cutting teeth, diaper blow-outs, and tantrums. Before we blinked our toddlers were big kids, with big teeth, and lanky limbs, learning to read and ride bikes. We survived puberty and teenage trials and learning so many new skills: like driving, applying for jobs and colleges, [...]
Do You Have True Faith?
Sometimes we think if we are FEELING we aren't IN FAITH. But being IN FAITH doesn't require us to DENY OUR FEELINGS. Faith is what we BELIEVE. FEELINGS CHANGE. FEELINGS ARE FICKLE.

Were We Wronged or Righted?
When someone wrongs us, have we been wronged? Or can we dig a little deeper and see how we have actually been "righted"? 1 Cor. 4,5 teaches that "Love, (the God kind of love that now resides inside of us) *parentheses mine* is longsuffering and kind (wow, that's a challenge to still be kind while [...]
Jesus Had Come to Defeat an Enemy, Just Not the One They Had in Mind
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and showing His agreement to Kingship. The crowds shouted "Hosanna!" in response, which is translated to mean "Praise God!" "Save us!" or "Deliver us!" While the Israelites assumed Jesus would be an insurrectionist who would overthrow the power of Roman rule, they did not understand the [...]
