We often go through life, bouncing from one experience to another, without having clarity about who we are or where we are going. Maybe we will get married (or not!) and raise a family (or a single child), and once our role of parenting children is over, we may feel lost! Or perhaps we made… More Clarity
During my years in the fundamental Christian movement, I must have read the Bible, cover to cover, two dozen times.

Christmastime is a precious time of the year for most of us. Whether you are Christian or any other religious tradition, there are many events, celebrations, or traditions around this time of year.

Not only is it an indication of the unofficial start of winter (and the beginning of the Christmas season), but it also represents a fresh, new beginning for me.
