Trauma Underestimates

When I was young there was only one Bible version and it was the King James Version. Over time there have been multiple versions and many have been interpreted a little differently for simplicity.

When I Came To My Senses

I was recently meditating and thinking about the prodigal son parable in the Bible. Like many, I’ve heard it since I was a child. But recently I read it differently and from another perspective.

This week I’ve spoken with 2 friends that have shared their anxiety due to being overwhelmed with things coming at them in life. The things coming at them are in their control. It’s things they can change and it all starts in the mind. One shared that they are overwhelmed with the upgrades on theirContinue reading “A Calendar for Anxiety”
