History of hate shouldn’t repeat itself

It's important to not remove history because the same dysfunction will repeat itself.  It is also equally as important to not use a platform to spew hate in the name of love, just because you can, especially if you are a teacher or preacher.  There are far more people who are qualified to speak truth …

Svengali wears a cowboy hat 2/22

Something happens on the inside when you know you're walking on shaky ground but don't necessarily have to be. It's that lump in your throat and the heat that surfaces on your chest when you lie to yourself and proceed in a relationship that is screaming "caution". Nothing about the guy is transparent or quantifiable …

Fitness model exercises wholeness steps

To walk out a life of wholeness, one would first have to know what one wants out of life.  Some people don't want to know why they suffer because they are afraid of uncovering something big that would stir up even more chaos.  I have never been such a person, usually I use chaos as …

News distances neighbors

Judge others if you must, but the real threat is against your neighbor because of fear-based control which will erupt anger at others who you deem as jeopardizing your health. Yet, we learned in kindergarten to be responsible for ourselves and to God. Don’t allow authorities to hurt your relationships through their agenda driven opinions …

Giving Children Nightmares

When I was a boy, the big fear was nuclear war, adios everybody. Fallout shelters. Duck and cover. Gaudy color photos of A-bomb tests. And nightmares…Giving Children Nightmares

Dear Hate

Murder gene is bound to emerge

She has boobs and I thought that was a dead give away, but apparently, nothing is certain anymore. Since man does not trust God, and since the world has persuaded the church to embrace dogma as the remedy for all of their pain, we have a society seeking self-rule, freedom from the imagined tyranny of …

Even Jesus flipped some tables

You are allowed to be angry, even Jesus flipped some tables.  I couldn't begin to track the times I went from zero to one hundred in a rage because of the injustice I suffered.  That type of fury was always justified, just not to the ones witnessing it.  I had come by it honestly though …

Sowing into Sorgoson, Philippines

I'm taking a moment to share a testimony about little ol' me and my waitressing days.  I was 23 working at The Cheesecake Factory in Baltimore Maryland and seeing miracles daily.  Of course, I only worked three nights out of the week because I was an autistic therapist by day, but nonetheless, prayers ushered in …

Squid aren’t 50 shades of grey

I'm really shocked that some of my neighboring therapists believe that sadistic and masochistic behavior is up to the consent of a person who would have a sound mind.  We are in the business of healing childhood memories where the dis-connection to intimacy, safety, communication and identity began, so why would we think the movie, …

Kobe’s death was for a reason?

I'm just curious, do people really believe that the good, the bad and the ugly, all come from God's hand?  Wouldn't that be abuse?  There is no way I'm serving a God who kills His kids with some manipulative guise to console our brokenness afterward.  I'm saddened by the numerous Christians who simply believe that …

A shepherd for my dismal days

Many of us remember a tragedy and its specific details; where we were and what took place.  Those "moments", those wounds could have been the beginning of our scattered souls, where we doubted the Shepherd and thought He left us unprotected from the preying wolves. "For this is what The Sovereign Lord says: I myself …

Spiritual evidence of Overcoming trauma

My blurb next to my senior picture was a glimpse into how I viewed my place in the world.  I had already been kicked out of my fathers house and told by my mother that she didn't know what to do with me, so I crashed at grandmas often.  I was unwanted to the core …
