Finding Meaning in Difficult Situations

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where there are no good options? Every choice looks like a dead end. It begins to feel hopeless.

So many situations we find ourselves in can make us feel hopeless. So many situations can cause us to start panicking.

Create More Than You Consume

It seems like everyone wants to label you and me a consumer. Economists, politicians, and corporations seem to think our greatest contribution to society is our ability to consume.

The impression we’re left with is the only thing we have to offer the world is our purchasing power. In fact, there seems to be an expectation that our duty is to go out and spend $$ each weekend so our economy keeps humming along.

Christmas Expectancy

What are you looking forward to this Christmas? Christmas is a time of expectancy.

Children get this sense of expectancy better than anyone else. Every morning my kids ask me how many more days till Christmas. They can’t wait to find out what will be under the tree!

The God of No’s

Dealing with Unanswered Prayer

Have you ever felt like God just wasn’t answering your prayers? You were persistently praying, but nothing was happening. Or worse, it’s become painfully obvious the answer was “no.” The opportunity passed, the door closed, the job was filled, they married someone else.

What makes it hurt a little more is when your friend prays for the exact same thing and gets it immediately while you’ve been praying for years. You’re praying for a baby to love and your college roommate (Fertile Myrtle) just announced she is having her third (#blessed).

Soul Care

One Habit that Restores the Real You

Last week I was speaking with a pediatrician and she was telling me about the #1 reason children go to the ER. Can you guess the reason?

The #1 reason is constipation. Who would have thought? The pain of constipation is so intense many parents think their child’s appendix has ruptured. She said kids are just not getting enough fruits and vegetables in their diets. Admittedly it’s not an easy task, and she acknowledged her own kids take daily fiber gummies.
