6 Ways Laughter is Good for You

Again I Ask, Do We?
Do we? Do we blame the murderer? Or do we blame his alcoholic father who beat him and his mother? Do we blame the weak mother who stayed with the alcoholic father and allowed it to happen? Or do we blame the mother’s stepfather who raped her every other night for three years? Do we blame the stepfather’s uncle who snuck into his room one night when he was visiting from out of town? Or do we blame…

If you’ve been around Christian circles lately, chances are you’ve heard about the Enneagram (pronounced any-uh-gram).

When You Think of the Word Home, Does Jesus Come to Mind?
When You Think of the Word Home, Does Jesus Come to Mind?
There is this certain sense of belonging, wanting to be known that lives inside each of us. We want the familiar state of being in a place where we feel safe, loved, and adored. For many, our memories are thrown back to the home we grew up. Scents of homemade cooking. Holiday celebrations. Laughter and giggles fill the room. We long for THIS to stay with us all of the time. And yet, this feeling…

How to Ask for Help When Your Life Is in Shambles?
How to Ask for Help When Your Life Is in Shambles?
No Christian has a perfect life even if they try hard to make you believe they have everything under control.

Miscarriages: Do We Really Mourn With Those Who Mourn?
Miscarriages: Do We Really Mourn With Those Who Mourn?
Unless you have lost a child, you can never really sympathize with a woman who has suffered a miscarriage. It is a different kind of pain that a parent carries with them on a daily basis until they are able to reach some sort of acceptance or peace about it.

Is Being a Virgin a Bad Thing?
Before the age of 19, I couldn’t have cared less about what people had to say about sex. That all changed, however, when I left home for college.
