After Roe, Choose Compassion

In 1973, I moved with my husband and our 1-year-old child to Pueblo, Colorado.  I was 27 years old and worked part-time as an investigator for the District Attorney.  Pueblo was small enough that we trained with the police department and had a small staff of investigators. Since I was the only female, I was

Ultimate Trust

Blackaby pulled me up short with his statement  “They gave lip service to their trust in God, but their actions showed where their faith really was:  in their military and financial might.”   (Henry Blackaby Experiencing God Day By Day) Of course I have read Jeremiah’s story — and felt sorry for him.  The Israelite’s of

Just the Way I Am

How many times have you heard “that’s just the way I am” from someone – or even yourself? In my mediation work I heard it often.  And usually as a tool for justifying a behavior – usually not a behavior that was helpful or kind. Stifling my “Oh, really?” response with a snarky evaluation of

How Do I Convince Them I’m Right?

In working with believers who are in a strained or broken relationship situation, I observe exactly what Lain Ehmann describes below.  She is a podcaster with whom I became acquainted when she assisted me in my online business using her extensive copywriting background (Tony Robbins and other big-name folks).   She is a radio host, speaker

Your Character House

In Bible times, a person’s name represented his character, according to Henry Blackaby in Experiencing God Day by Day.  If you knew someone’s name, you knew what the person was like.  He points to Abram to illustrate this.  The Lord wanted to bless all the nations through Abram, but Abram’s character was too weak for

Dealing with Hurt

I met Lain Ehmann in a “breakthrough” session with her on the focus and wording for my online business – Journey Well:  Heart Body & Soul.  Her credentials in the copywriting field include working with Tony Robbins. To my delight, I found her to be a strong, thoughtful and wise Christian.  Thus, I later started

Repairing Relationships

Tim Keller’s podcast using this title caught my attention – it’s what I have spent years studying, engaging and practicing as well as trying to find the best ways to walk alongside folks in broken relationships. While I recommend you listen to his full podcast, I extracted core pieces here which rang so true for

How’s Your Perfection Coming?

OK, remember “The Fonz”?  That’s Fonzie from the TV series “Happy Days”.  Never was there a character that was more perfect (in his own mind).  He was a 1950’s lovable and almost superhuman greaser who provided us so many laughs. I actually watched and can visualize this scene as it unfolded  – Fonzie whips out

I Choose…

Attitudes do not just happen:  we CHOOSE them.  Henry Blackaby, Experiencing God Day by Day, hit me with this statement recently – and the timing (end of year, look back time, set goals for next year) was right when I needed it. But I was about to brush it off with a glance just thinking

Not Quarrelsome?

“There should be no quarrelsome Christians.” What?  Are you kidding? Nope, this is a quote from Henry Blackaby – and the non-quote responses were mine as I read it.  Do you have the same reaction?  Like, how in the world can I, as a Christian, live up to THAT requirement? And is that really what
