    by Carol McClain   @carol_mcclain Who judges? Not me!

  • Does Someone Drive You Nuts?
    Posted on Monday, August 3rd, 2015 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: disdain, judgment, looking for the good in others

    This is what we’d like to do to our Sophias. Have you ever had to deal with a self-righteous, know-it-all, hypochondriac? In short, do people sometimes drive you nuts? Why can’t people be more like us? I know this will come as a shock to those who know me in real time–but sometimes people drive …[ read more ]

  • Another Side to Disdain

         I know this will come as a shock to those who know me in real time–but sometimes people drive me bonkers.

      Carol McClain Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matt. 5:4 In my youth, I really believed I irreversibly ruined my life. I had fooled with drugs, married a man I shouldn't have (But the second mistake is a lie--I birthed the most amazing daughter any mother could hope for, so that marriage gave me a gift.), and I lived a life I didn't like. This life continued to lead me on a path I did not want to travel. During the worst of my times during that period of my life, I'd cry and pray as… ...[ full story ]
