  • Seven Steps to Happiness (According to Goats)
    Posted on Monday, February 14th, 2022 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: @carol_mcclain, 7 steps to happiness, goats, how to be happy, how to find happiness, joy, Proverbs 10:28, Writing Redemption

    @carol_mcclain The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. Proverbs 10:28 Do you find happiness elusive these days? I mean, we’ve got supply chain issues, COVID issues, Russian issues, and probably a lack of tissues to combat the tears caused by our issues. Take a lesson from goats. …[ read more ]

  • Why Trust God
    Posted on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Borrowed Lives, Carol McClain, how to trust God, Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 55:12, Job 8:21, Psalm 121: 7-8, Trusting God is like riding a roller coaster, Why trust God, Writing Redemption

    @carol_mcclain Why do I love roller coasters?   They’re safe. They’re designed by engineers who know (not people like me who would have a hard time engineering a box). They’re tested so no one would be hurt. Thousands of people have ridden the ride before me. They take me places I could never go on …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3-4 Ever since my teen years–eons ago–I’ve …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Isaiah 61:3 “(God will) provide for those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display …[ read more ]

    • Christian–You Are Righteous, But Are You Merciful?

      Carol McClain Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Matt. 5:7 Don Carson, a theologian and co-founder of Gospel Coalition, writes: “Mercy is a loving response prompted by the misery and helplessness of the one on which love is to be showered.” If I only knew then what I know now. I used to be able to point my fingers at others for not learning how to pull themselves out of the gutter. After all, I'd come from a rough and tumble upbringing where alcohol use (we were NOT drug addicts, thank you) was de rigueur. Poor and self-conscious… ...[ full story ]
