What do you do when the love of your life says they want a divorce? What do you do? How do you cope with it and better yet, how do you go on? With some people divorce seems such a trivial thing. I haven’t been able to figure this out. If that person was really committed to the marriage, why didn’t it effect them the same way? I’ve been through several divorces with my mom and two personally and there are no easy answers. SURVIVING DIVORCE… Read more

Laugh, Laugh Again
I can’t seem to say enough about this subject. I wrote another post titled, “Laugh At Yourself.†You might like to read it also. Regardless of what we are going through we need to laugh. I am not saying there isn’t a time to grieve or to be serious. These times do come and go and when they do, it is good to go through them. I am not referring to these times, eventhough it is good to find short periods of time to laugh during these times, if you can. LAUGH, LAUGH AGAIN! Read more

Oppression Go Away
In this world, we are familiar with oppression. We see it every day and it happens to a lot of people everyday. When will it all end? When can we be done with it? Emptiness, despair, depression, worry and anxiety are close friends to those who don’t walk with Jesus.

Where Are You?
Have you ever found yourself trying this relationship or trying another one over and over again while thinking, “Maybe, just maybe this is the one?†Or perhaps, if you are married, you think, “I wish I would have married someone else.†You find yourself trying to fill a void in your heart that seems impossible to fill. No matter how much you open up and no matter how close and intimate you get, there is still a LOUD cry for help deep inside of you. Can’t someone, anyone see me WHERE I AM? WHERE ARE YOU… Read more
Function & Gender
If we could solve our gender differences in our generation today, the world would be a more peaceful place to live, correct? If men and women could walk side-by-side together in our world instead of fighting each other over a lot of different issues, we might be able to provide a better world for our children. How can we do this though? Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, or so the story goes… How can someone from one sexual orientation really understand the other? Perhaps we don’t have to as much as we think we do. I suggest that if we can find the root of the problem, perhaps we can also find a workable solution. FUNCTION & GENDER… Read more
