  • The Quality of Mercy: James 2:13
    Posted on Monday, December 14th, 2015 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: CR, forgiveness, James 2:13, mercy, twelve-step program

    “For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment “James 2:13. “Henry” grew up in a home parented by an alcoholic father and a distant mother.

    Our world’s run amok. Hatred dominates. Freddie Gray and Michael Brown die at the hands of the police and Baltimore and Ferguson erupt in riots.

    “Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled.” ―  Richelle E. Goodrich ,  The Tarishe Curse   Few wounds hurt as deeply as betrayal.

  • From the Heart: Praying for Forgiveness
    Posted on Wednesday, May 4th, 2011 | Filed under Uncategorized | Tagged: forgiveness, prayer

    When cut to the quick by those who should have loved us, the pain hurts more than the wounds of a stranger and Jesus certainly understands this more than we. We know the Scriptural admonition to forgive–and this doesn’t mean to condone or accept because wrong is wrong. However, we know we are flawed individuals, …[ read more ]

  • From the Heart: Forgiveness
    Posted on Monday, May 2nd, 2011 | Filed under Uncategorized | Tagged: forgiveness, hurt, Joseph

    Matt 18:35“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.” From your heart…this is not a superficial forgiveness, but a deep, no loop-hole forgiveness.

    • Five Ways To Keep Your Resolutions

      “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour and with that one, is what we are doing.” ― Annie Dillard, The Writing Life It's the new year, and of course, you've made resolutions. Do you want to exercise more? Cook healthy meals? Write a book? Have you resolved that this is the year you'd accomplish this? Nearly all of us have already broken our resolves. Why? Because we do what we want to do.
