Listened to business training cd's (probably a good idea since I'm coming to a business meeting) and worship music. Great day!

Have you ever felt like you're in a row boat, paddling as fast and as hard as you can, trying to pull the Titanic along fast enough to keep her from sinking?

Some days, that's what it feels like to work for someone else again. No matter how hard you try, no matter how clear it is to you and how hard you wave your arms and yell... they're still going down.

So the question is... how long to you stay tied to the ship, trying to save it? When is it wiser to cut the rope, let the…

While traveling surrounded by the beauty of the Swiss Alps, my companion began to praise someone—my villain. Thousands of miles away from home, and the specter of my pain had found me.

We hear forgiveness brings freedom and hope the memory of our pain will never bother us again. However, in many cases the person who caused our pain hasn’t changed. We continue to work, worship, and live around them. We run into people who believe their pretty pretense. They jab our wounds, and we feel…
