    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 ]

  • My Dream Team: Day 1/11
    Posted on Monday, January 10th, 2011 | Filed under Uncategorized | Tagged: friendship, Linda R

    A winning team does not consist of one member–but many–each sharing her or his gift to make the group succeed.

Excluding family–over the next eleven days I’ll …[ read more ]

  • Happy Birthday, Debbie Greenwald
    Posted on Sunday, December 20th, 2009 | Filed under Uncategorized | Tagged: birthday, celebration, friendship

    • Why Christians Are Hated

      By: Carol McClain @carol_mcclain Last week, a reader commented that no matter what we do, the lost will despise Christians. He was right. 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you" John 15: 18-19.
