Doing Life Together

When I am on live call-in radio shows, this question is regularly asked, “How do I live with an angry person?” You can imagine, this is not a pleasant experience for anyone.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace!  

As we wrap up another year, I have a question for you: how often did you spend time thinking about all that happened in 2021? I confess that in my busyness, I rarely rested and reflected on the state of my life. I haven’t stopped to think: what matters, where is my focus? Am I…

The packages are all under the tree. There is excitement in the air. Christmas is almost here, but can a gift really bring you joy?  Perhaps for a moment, maybe weeks, even years in some cases. But more is needed for continuous joy! God gave us a gift, His Son sent as a baby, a…

It begins at Halloween. All that leftover candy! “Well, I have to finish it up. Just a piece here and there.” Then comes Thanksgiving with all those desserts and side dishes. It’s a feast meant to be enjoyed! And now Christmas is upon us and you wonder, “How am I going to make it through…

Every year, I remind you to think ahead about how you will handle difficult family issues during the holidays. Why? Because this is one time of year we want to build positive memories. We intentionally get together despite our conflicts and upsets with each other. Let’s do our best to make this time of year…

Sara was not excited for the holidays due to an increase feeling of depression. She needed extra help to overcome this current depressive episode. Her antidepressant wasn’t working well enough to get her back on track. Therefore, Sara decided to try psychotherapy to better address her negative thoughts. Depression is often prompted by negative beliefs…
