“But, God…”
If you’ve ever read a portion of the Bible and found yourself troubled by its meaning, be assured you’re not alone. Portions of Scripture can be confusing, so much so that you might find yourself guessing at its meaning, even wondering how or if it applies to your daily life. And perhaps it’s for this reason that many attempts have been made to bring understanding and clarity to the Bible. For example, I remember my brother and his wife owning a large painting that hung in their home...
Read MoreDecisions: The Good and the Not So Good
The dull, overcast morning promised a windy, rainy day and I was tempted to stay in my pjs rather than leave the comfort of my home. However, a visit to the chiropractor was on my agenda, and being a treatment I greatly value, there was no staying at home.

“If at first you don’t succeed…then quit!” What! That’s not correct…unless, of course, it’s coming from the mind of a child who is simply unable—or perhaps has no desire— to play a song on the piano for his teacher.

Perhaps it’s coming from the mind of a teenager who’s okay with words and such, but percentages and algebra… well, the grey matter is sadly lacking...
