    By: Carol McClain        carol_mcclain We’ve all been crushed by ruthless (or clueless people). Seeing as everyone sins, Christians included, we often rub shoulders with arrogant, rude, know-it-all, clueless people who tromp all over us. Sometimes it hits closer to home with more devastating consequences when parents, children, or spouses crush our spirits. We need to forgive. …[ read more ]

If you are like me, you must’ve hung onto Jeremiah 29:11. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’” declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope …[ read more ]

    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.
