Oh No the Sun is About to Set I Better Get Rid of My Anger!!!!!
We come to some crazy conclusions about what is written in the Bible. This is especially true with subjects that make us uncomfortable.
Christian Perspectives
Frustrating Frustrations
From icemakers that don’t work right, to dogs that bark too much and children that break things, life often seems like a series of frustrating events.
Personal Growth

One had her legs curled under her, facing her friend, sharing very personal details about her life. The other woman was deeply engaged in what her friend was saying, periodically touching her friend's arm as a sign she was connecting with her story.
