Resentment
The true definition of resentment is “bitter indignation of having been treated unfairly.” We all suffer resentment from time to time. Some resentments take root deep into your heart. While others are just for a moment. If you are an only child you have not experienced a sibling resentment. Even if you, as parents, believe…
Weight
We are obsessed with weight. If someone is skinny, they hear “You’re Anorexic!” If they are cubby, they hear “You could stand to lose a few pounds.” I have heard both statements and both hurt. So the hidden message is I’m not loveable unless I gain or lose weight. Ouch! Mirrors were not a friend…
Peace
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. This verse strikes several chords within me. First is Peace. Oh how I long for peace. What does peace mean to…

Hannah
Have you ever met someone that you fell in love with? I’m not talking about romantic love. I’m talking about someone who makes you smile when you are around them or just see a picture of them. That was Hannah. Beautiful inside and out. She had a smile that would light up a room. She…
National Sibling Day
Today is National Sibling Day on Social Media. I have a brother who died in 1995. He was 2 years older and was my tormentor when we were kids. Lester was funny, spirited, intelligent and the life of the party. He would walk into a room and the room stopped and moved to be around…
