Ghosting Hurts, but it’s Not About You

We’ve probably all been ghosted. Ghosting is quietly and abruptly disappearing from someone’s life, essentially becoming invisible. The person doing the ghosting simply stops communicating with no explanation, leaving the person being ghosted to wonder what happened. When we’ve been ghosted, we feel rejected—and it hurts. We typically hear about ghosting in the context of [...]

Who Told You It Couldn’t Be Done?

And why are you listening to that person? I don’t keep score of my successes and failures, but when I look back at my life, I know I’ve had far more wins than losses. The main reason for my track record is simple: I don’t listen to people who tell me what I want to [...]

When God Has Other Plans for You

Sometimes God whispers. Sometimes He speaks loud and clear. And sometimes we don’t want to hear what He has to say. But when we listen and are obedient, amazing things happen. Kim M. Clark is a perfect example of this test of faith. Here’s an edited transcript of our recent interview: Jacquelyn Lynn: How did [...]

There’s More Than One Way to Change the World

What would the thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi think of the reaction we got when we quoted him in a Shareable Saturday email? “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ~ Rumi Krystal Parker, president of the Central Florida Christian Chamber, observed: “The [...]

Inspiration is in the Mind and Heart of the Beholder

The old saying that beauty is in the mind of the beholder is true—and it also applies to inspiration. What some people find inspiring, others find downright depressing. Here’s a quote we recently featured in our Shareable Saturday email: “The success of economic freedom in increasing human prosperity, extending our life spans and improving the [...]

What Do You Give Up for Lent – and Why I Don’t

I think I finally understand this powerful season It seems like I’ve heard people make references to what they were giving up for Lent all my life. Because I was raised a non-church-going Protestant/Spiritualist, I didn’t know much about Lent, so I didn’t understand the point of giving up something for those six weeks beginning [...]

If All You Can Do is Pray, Pray!

  Below is an edited transcript of the video: If all you can do is pray, then pray. Pray with passion, pray with enthusiasm, pray without ceasing. So often I hear people who know people in need and they’d like to help, but for whatever reason they can’t. Maybe the person is in another city [...]

I’ll put the fear of God in you

Fearing God isn’t a bad thing. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “I’ll put the fear of God into you,” you know it’s not meant as a nurturing, comforting promise. Merriam-Webster defines the idiom this way: to frighten (someone) very badly It saddens me to hear my faith distorted like that. When referring to God, [...]
