    by Carol McClain   @carol_mcclain Who judges? Not me!

    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 ]

The prescription can be found in Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:" The last chapter of 2020 closed a few weeks ago, but not without promising us more heartache in 2021. Our pandemic hasn’t finished with us, and we will find more grief and hardship for many more months. Now, aren’t you glad you decided to… ...[ full story ]
