Where has the month of February gone? I know one week of it was spent with a friend who was going through a painful time. Without sharing personal details, suffice it to say, it is easy for some people to pretend they are something they are not. What did “he” think? For sure, he […] Even in a world that’s being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong. HILDEGARD VON BINGEN At no time more than right now, remaining brave and strong is an important reminder. It seems there are more than the usual things to be distressed or discouraged about. In our personal lives, in our communities, in our nation, on […] Does it make sense to you that when you keep bumping into something in your life, it is about you rather than just about what (or whom) you are bumping in to?

The problem is that a lot of the times we don’t grow up and move on past these defenses or events.

It would be too simplistic to say that happened over the curriculum of the Sunday school class I was getting ready to teach.
