Carl Jung wrote, “The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology.” As chaos ensues around us, I have been thinking about how to counter the harshness of it all. How to create a positive vibration from something that appears as the manifestation of doom and gloom. A group that…

In my relationship with God, forgiveness is hugely important and easily achievable. I believe that God, as my father in heaven, forgives me for all of my sins. Not only that, but his forgiveness is immediate and certain. While this does not mean we are absolved of guilt, there is comfort in this simple fact.…

It’s not often that someone makes it a habit to expose their insecurities and vulnerabilities on a regular basis. Yet, here I am.
