So what happens if you don't have a phone?

Emotions lie. A lot. Focusing solely on how you feel at any given time will lead to anxiety and a sense of failure. The Christian walk is not a steady uphill journey... there are some pretty deep valleys, and sometimes it seems like our whole life is one deep valley. David wrote about that very...

Let me share a story with you from my own life... my middle son experienced a similar kind of anxiety around spiritual things a couple of years ago. He wasn't living the way he should be, and was really struggling with his spiritual walk. He told me later that every time he heard anything about...

I'm the Executive Director of a Christian crisis pregnancy centre. Adoption is a wonderfully loving and selfless option for someone who chooses to go that route. Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter (infant adoption), Esther was adopted by her uncle Mordecai (kinship adoption), Jesus was...

Hey, Jaedan... that sounds like a really stressful situation. It's so mature of you to realize that you need support! A lot of people wouldn't recognize that, but you did. I'm in Canada, but I do have counseling connections in the States... Teen Line is a really good place to connect with when...

I have learned from experience that the most important thing I can do is to prepare myself for service. When I am adequately prepared, the Lord will present opportunities that I am now qualified to help with. It might feel like a dark, dry place, and you may be chomping at the bit to get out...

Resentment is a sign that your boundaries are being ignored, and sometimes it means that your boundaries haven't been made clear. It's also a sign that you feel like you have no control over the situation. My suggestion would be to decide how many times a month you're willing to drive to her...

It hasn't been easy, that's for sure. Even though the marriage was shorter than my first one, my divorce was more difficult, and it's been stressful dealing with family members who expected me to just get over it and move on. That's where the bitterness was. I once loved him deeply, and I now...

Sushi, and it was amazing. Gyoza, tempura, and sushi pizza.

I'm definitely an introvert, and I came out as a Golden Retriever, so you may be right.

I've actually been married and divorced twice, which I realize makes me a leper in the Body of Christ, but it is what it is. Both times I married a church leader. My first husband and I were together for 27 years and had six kids, but the violence and abuse just spiraled out of control until I...

I can relate. My husband and his fiancée were getting impatient, too.

I've been dealing with this today, too. I've had Chronic Lyme since I was 10 (I'm 52 now). Earlier today I was asking the Lord why I'm still here, and what purpose there is for me. I've raised my kids, I'm an introvert so I mostly keep to myself, there are other people who could do my job (and...

I don't know that I've found it to be smaller. Murkier, yes. Lol. I've been on quite a few first dates and turned down just about as many second dates. Maybe someday. :-)

This is my dream, actually. Underground dwellings really appeal to me. Consistent temperature year round, increased safety, decreased visibility from the air. I'd do it in a heartbeat!

I think you should always communicate your feelings to your partner, after the fire has died down a bit and you can do so calmly. Tell her exactly what you said here, that you felt like her text was demeaning. Maybe tell her that you were busy with getting four kids and yourself ready to go out...

It means your Bible has an illustration of a demon in it, and you happened to open it to that page. And that is all that it means. Nothing more, and nothing less.

Start driving a dark coloured cargo van with tinted windows, grow a low ponytail, Brylcream your hair straight back from your face, wear a polyester pantsuit with a flowered rayon shirt open to the naval and several large gold chains. Problem solved. Seriously, though... How do you know they...

Would you trust a police report, then? And really, if you're so cautious to believe what a person says about themselves or their spouse, you should also not be so quick to decide they share the guilt for their divorce.
