Sunday Thoughts: Church Door Thumpers
Matthew 18:20 (NRSV) “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” I am wondering why some people think that every time the church door opens that they have to walk through them. I have seen so many people who think that if they go to church then they…

Love = Inspiration
I was asked recently what inspires me to write? The first thing that popped in to my head is that people inspire me. People in all their crazy mixed up emotions. Then after I thought about it, love and compassion inspire me. Not just the existence or demonstration of love but the lack of it.…

Trust & Love
Love is handing another person the weapon that will destroy you and trusting them not to use it. Love and trust go hand in hand. I have learned that even if you know that you will get hurt or suspect that you may get hurt, it is always worth the risk to love. To trust…
