A people-pleaser seeks to please others. On the surface, this may seem like a good thing, and often times it is, but when it becomes a duty it can lead to bondage. People-pleasers put the desires of others before themselves. They will go out of their way to make sure that everyone else is fine [...]

Love at First Sight.
Is there such a thing? Can you really fall in love at first sight? I think we first have to define what love is. According to Merriam-Webster love is: a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties <maternal love for a child> (2) : attraction based on sexual desire [...]

Do you Boycott?
I don’t march in front of businesses or get involved in “movements” to end something but I do abstain from buying/using products if something they do/have done is morally questionable in my eyes.

So what if I Iron my Jeans?

I pray that in 2012 the church begins to look and hope for a spiritual harvest instead of a financial or other one. We hear it every New Years sermon how the coming year is gonna be a year of “harvest.” Maybe it will be, but I think that too many minds think of finances [...]
