It Feels Like It is about Me, but It’s Not
Yesterday I confessed I was (still am to a degree) failing. I am angry and so tired of this particular ongoing issue and the people behind it that I am ready to start going by the name Joshua and referring to them as Jericho. That sounds really fierce and all warrior-like because Joshua led the…

I’m Honestly Failing
Seven years ago I did a lot of renovation work on our house. I put in floors, fixed plumbing, replaced lighting fixtures, redid all the baseboards, painted everything.

Being Intentional about Mental Health
Lately I’ve talked to a lot of people who are battling anxiety and depression, who are feeling hopeless, who have a solid level of self-loathing going on, and all of them tell me how this and that the other is the problem. The fact is for all of them, they are their own biggest problem.…
