What does it mean to be healthy?

True Health

It is interesting to me how the word “healthy” is tossed around. In this day and age, everyone claims to be healthy, despite being on daily medication and suffering from some sort of daily bowel discomfort.

The Secret About The Secret

The Secret

I’m sure you’ve seen this book. The Secret, that is. It’s been lovingly posted on numerous blogs, proudly displayed at airport bookstores, passed on from one person to the next with the assurance of prosperity and universal blessings.

I have heard the stories of the children I will never meet but whose paths have intersected with mine through digital networks and [...]

Beyond Normal

Beyond Normal

Today’s church message was about following Christ and letting go of all the things that keep you from His will. It was about moving past mediocrity, past normalcy. It really resonated with me. Over the past few months, I have battled with these thoughts. My family and I have shut off the television, watched [...]
