Love and encouragement from an imperfect mom and her fun teen daughters. We welcome you to live life with us.

Jealousy, our own and other people’s, can either protect a relationship (“healthy jealousy”), or it can damage relationships and hearts. In last week’s post, “True Guilt and False Shame,” I briefly mentioned jealousy, and I’d like to further address that quality. Jealousy can become a tool of Satan unless we recognize it and control it. … Read more Handling Jealousy, Ours and Other’s
God can help us sort out our true guilt when we actually sin and help us rebuff the false shame people or culture try to place upon us. Satan is behind these attacks, and we need to use spiritual warfare to fight back. But first we have to be aware of the attacks, before we … Read more True Guilt and False Shame: Spiritual Warfare
On a radio broadcast, a young woman said she used to have no idea what she was feeling. She said many Millennials and other young people have lost touch with their feelings.

Scripture warns this could happen. In James 4:3 we read, “You ask and do not receive, … Read more Boldly Praying or Presuming upon God?

As I say in all my health posts, I am … Read more Nearly Pain-Free Living: Natural Pain Relief

Showing off in the news and in social media, actors, musicians, artists and influencers imply they are better than us, so we must copy them.

Even in church, we may believe Bible heroes or even other church … Read more Comparing Ourselves to Others: Who does God say You are?
