Are You Honest?
In the last few years, I have come to realize how important honesty is to me. If you don't want to do something, tell me. If I ask you a question, I really want to know what your opinion is on the topic. Don't just say what you think I want to hear. For one thing, it...
Build Up; Don’t Tear Down
Do you know people who can't seem to talk about anything besides other people? I know people like that, and I often wonder why that is their topic of choice. Could they really have no other interests? I expect that the majority of people who do this are trying to make...

Press On Anyway
My mom passed away in January. A friend's dad died the next day. In the last couple of weeks, I met some young ladies who lost their mom the same week we did, found out that a friend died last month, and discovered that a man we knew years ago is in jail for murder....

The Root of Bitterness
