    @carol_mcclain   Odd to many, I love the genealogies of the Bible. In them, we find a rich history. I cannot breeze through them because each name tells a story that takes time to understand in order to uncover the depth of meaning. You matter. You’re not a name in a list of names, just another …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice” Proverbs 12:15. My good friend and I chatted in a coffee shop. The usual topics filtered through our chatter … supply chain issues, covid 19, bad politicians, sucky people. We were sure to avoid the theological idea …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Why do I love roller coasters?   They’re safe. They’re designed by engineers who know (not people like me who would have a hard time engineering a box). They’re tested so no one would be hurt. Thousands of people have ridden the ride before me. They take me places I could never go on …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3-4 Ever since my teen years–eons ago–I’ve …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

    • How Holding a Grudge Hurts You

      Carol McClain   I read the names of attendees at a recent two-day festival, one with stellar book sales. The name of one group I once belonged to stopped me. Excitement fled, and a heaviness filled my spirit. My joyful spirit turned sodden. Not them! Doesn't matter. I'm not connected with them any longer. I squared my shoulders and determined to ignore the entire group who so grievously hurt me. Alas ... I'll never overcome their wrongs! On day one of the festival, two new members manned my nemeses' booth. No harm in chatting with them. So I put on my… ...[ full story ]
