Old Mirror, New Mirror

July 30, 2013 By Verna Bowman 11 Comments

What do you see when you look in the mirror?  Do you see who you once were, or who you can be?

The world is full of people who have not dealt with an old hurt.  Have you ever spoken to someone who tells the same old story a thousand times of someone who offended them a thousand years ago?  They rehearse and nurse the grudge until they have the grievance so memorized, you wonder how they could ever forget what happened to … [Read more...]
