Sounds Greek To Me

If you’ve been born . . . someone has done something to hurt or offend you, and you have done something to hurt or offend another.  So, that would mean we need to be forgiven and we need to be forgivers. There was a time in my life when it was easier to build high walls around numb places, where I didn’t have to forgive or care … [Read more...]

Are you concerned about tomorrow? Stress is everywhere, and I’m convinced the stress of today and the way we handle it, is far worse than in the past.  Media voices reassure us everyday of how bad things are.  We’re quick to angst and feed each other with negatives. We take pills to start the day.  We take pills to end the day … [Read more...]
