Someone once said this blog is like a place of Christian musings. I can see how that could describe the nature of these articles.

LIKE CHRISTIANITY, LIKE MARRIAGE Christianity is a little like a… Read More Christian Musings #54
Matthew 24:10: “Then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.” Matthew 24:12: “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold–“ This is already happening in the world today. The love of many has already grown cold, and many betray and hate one another. It’s not something we have to wait for or dread, it’s right in front… Read More Divorcing Ourselves from Chaos
CHOICES AND WISDOM Life is too short to hate oneself. It is even too short to hate life.
