It’s Just Not Fair

“One of the hardest areas in which to trust God is in the matter of justice.”  Henry Blackaby absolutely ‘nails it’ in his devotional book “Experiencing God Day by Day”.  As a Certified Christian Conciliator© for 20+ years, I can affirm that one of the most frequent obstacles to people being able to reconcile broken relationships has been

Have KIT – Will Travel

OK, I know I am showing my age, but remember the TV show “Have Gun Will Travel”?   (for you youngsters… the star was a professional gunfighter named Paladin, a West Point graduate who, after the Civil War, settled into San Francisco’s Hotel Carlton, where he awaited responses to his business card: over the picture of

F O R E V E R Grateful

You never think it will happen to you…it just happens to other people.  But I learned differently last week. I was doubly excited to go to Salt Lake City for a week with my good friend.  First –  she had never been on a genealogy trip to the Family History Library and it was on

Desires of Our Heart – Danger or Joy?

What if I said “both”? One of the helpful exercises I do with people in conflict involves walking through James 4:1-4 which explains “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it.” As we follow the scripture together, I am

Free Radicals – Good or Bad

It depends…. (OK, thanks for the lawyer answer)…  My first thought is “Good” because I was a 20-something year old hippie in the early 70’s – yes, I have the pictures to prove it but I won’t show them (fear of blackmail).  What did you expect?  I lived in Boulder!  And yes, we were “free” – in fact that

SmartPhone Photos Are Like Laundry

I loved Shelley Murray’s blog on this — When we come off a great vacation, what is the first thing we do?  Unpack, throw the laundry in and start the washing machine.  The process continues until done, folded neatly and placed in the right dresser in the right room. If we think about our smartphone

Why Forgive?

I heard it often in the middle of conflict casework – “Why should I forgive them – after what they have done?’ Good question to discuss – because it reveals a huge hurdle to people being reconciled to God (which is primary in the whole process) and then to others.  It is where people get

What I Didn’t Tell You About Collagen Choices

A few weeks ago, I did a Blog on “Why Collagen Doesn’t Work & Ages You Faster”  — mimicking a great marketing headline.  The point was that collagen products with only one type of collagen in the ingredients were the more typical purchase by people shopping in stores.  But you need all 5 types for

WHY SHOULD I PRINT PHOTOS?

Don’t you love the richness of a picture of your ancestors – and don’t you long to know more about them, and the stories behind the pictures? This one is of my great-great-grandmother – Jane Kent Mudgett – she is holding the flowers in the center of the picture and her husband Jeremiah Mudgett is

“You Shall Not Covet…” – What’s That About?

As I am more actively involved in Christian mediation work again, and also presently walking alongside some folks struggling with conflict, I put myself into “refresher” mode on some of the basics. One of the best resources in my library is Paul Tripp’s “Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands” which has the subtitle:  People in Need
