COFFEE WITH GOD
Psalm 143:8 Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for you I lift up my soul. I love a quiet morning, just me, my dog, my Bible, a cup of coffee and the birds singing to me. My coffee…
STRESSED OUT
“Your blood pressure is a little high. Are you under stress?” My doctor recently asked me this question. Let’s see, I drove down 280 in the morning to get to your office. No, no stress there. I had to get completely naked for my exam, no none there either. I know what you are going…

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…
