Dear Reader, The quick and easy answer to the question, “Why should I forgive?” must surely be, because God says that we must. The Bible is full of verses that bear this out but the one I want to discuss is Ephesians 4:31-32 because it concisely points out three things that are…
Oh darn I did it again. It’s in the moment of pure exhaustion when I can’t think straight that I respond by yelling. I raised my voice again in frustration. It’s something I do when I feel like no one hears me. Why did I get so upset? I’m daily fighting for a better…
