Throughout the years of doing Christian mediations and coaching people in conflict, I have been amazed at the power of the words often at the core of the struggle and hurt. So when I heard Tim Keller’s podcast on the power of words, I loved how he handled the whole topic. I did this blog on the
As I am in my last week pre-surgery, I found this in an article written for doctors from a psychological point of view – it was aimed to be a help for pre-and-post-operative considerations. Since I have been “considering” this A LOT in my pre-surgical state, I was curious if it matched up for me.

The words optimistic and pessimistic are opposites and when used in the context of a person’s general outlook, it expresses their sense of whether a situation will

Intercessor is kind of a big word that I just skipped on by not thinking I would ever need to know about it. I thought it was something only a few folks were “called” to do. But then a dear friend of mine who moved far away with his wife to be close to
Did your kids have a habit of saying “best ever”? Like “best brownies ever” or “best vacation ever” or “best bike ever”? I find myself in that groove, too.
