    by Carol McClain     @carol_mcclain I’d heard being stranded in a cave could cause blindness. Mostly it’s true for infants, but not for adults. Darkness impairs everyone’s vision. For example, miners develop jerky eye movements because they spend so much time in dark spaces. This concept of the damage living in the dark causes brings to mind a study by …[ read more ]

  • Lost Morals Are Like Wandering a Lightless Cave

    by Carol McClain    @carol_mcclain Have you ever toured a cave? Last year, my family and I explored the Lost Sea in Speedwell, Tennessee. Lights strung along the path led us over ledges, around stalagmites, past underground streams. Deep into the cavern, the tour did what all cave tours do. They turned off the lights. Darkness so …[ read more ]

    by Carol McClain   @carol_mcclain Who judges? Not me! We all exclaim not me, yet… Recently I read an article in The Washington Post. Lizzy Velasquez was a bubbly, happy child until she went to school. She’d been born with a rare metabolic disease that makes her unable to maintain any body fat. She has 0%. If you’re like …[ read more ]

  • Judge Others? Judge Yourself

    by Carol McClain  @carol_mcclain “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things” Rom. 2:1. Ever heard the expression, “Don’t point your finger at others. You have one directed at them, and three …[ read more ]

  • Yesterday’s Poison

    By Carol McClain @carol_mcclain Did you realize if you drank yesterday’s poison, you would still die? Lately, my blogs have dealt with the power of forgiveness. Forgiving never condones. It sets you free. Furthermore, friendships are critical to our lives. Without the power of honest friends, we may never be able to forgive. Today, I’m taking a …[ read more ]

    • Christian–You Are Righteous, But Are You Merciful?

      Carol McClain Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Matt. 5:7 Don Carson, a theologian and co-founder of Gospel Coalition, writes: “Mercy is a loving response prompted by the misery and helplessness of the one on which love is to be showered.” If I only knew then what I know now. I used to be able to point my fingers at others for not learning how to pull themselves out of the gutter. After all, I'd come from a rough and tumble upbringing where alcohol use (we were NOT drug addicts, thank you) was de rigueur. Poor and self-conscious… ...[ full story ]
