It saddens me when I see people whom I have admired walk away from their faith because they feel like others in that faith are too judgmental, harsh or dismissive of those who have fallen short or who are perceived by some as “sinners.” I have never considered my faith to be about the people […]
We hear a lot of people accusing others of being “judgmental” these days. If you don’t agree with someone’s choices, way of life, or behavior, it’s considered politically incorrect to say so. You might offend them. If you don’t feel comfortable watching entertainment with certain activities going on in it, you’re considered judgmental. Let’s look […]
Have you ever wondered, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Or maybe you’ve wondered why you did what you felt you were supposed to do and it ended poorly. Shouldn’t God have protected you and blessed you? Why do you feel like you were cursed instead? Some see God like Santa Claus or […]

Ever notice that boys love to show off their war wounds? They eagerly relate the stories that came to create their scars–each in his turn trying to top the other’s story. Women don’t do that. In fact, we tend to hide our scars. We cover them up with clothing, makeup, and embarrassment. It becomes a […]
