The elections are really a good indicator of the kind of people we are…not by the person we vote for, but by the way we treat others who disagree with us. Ouch! A testament to our true identity is how we react when faced with challenging people. And unfortunately they...

Today’s scripture reading from the New Testament was Mark 14 and boy, was it jam packed with loads of tidbits I could go on and on about!!!  Between the Last Supper, Peter’s denial, Judas’s betrayal and Jesus’ arrest…uh, WOW!!! However, what I would like to focus on...

“The Challenge” is what I’ve got on my blog calendar for today.  Hmmm…when in doubt go to scripture!!! Clearly, I don’t have a clue what I was thinking when I came up with this topic, but this one in particular can be used for an enormous amount of things we deal with...

As much as I hate the saying that “it’s all in our head” I must admit that it’s kind of true.  Sigh.  Hate it when that happens. Think about it, though.  Our thoughts determine our mood, our attitudes and most often our actions. When we dwell on the dreary, dull and...
