Life brings pain.  I’m not talking about Physical Pain although there is plenty of that.  Trust me I’ve given birth four times.  :)  I’m also not talking about when our feelings get hurt a little.  There are some things we just need to let roll off our back.  No I’m talking about that deep, gut wrenching pain that leaves you feeling exhausted and numb.  It may come from the death of a loved one, the betrayal of a friend or rejection from people you care about.    But regardless of where it comes from, it all hurts and it leaves us wondering what do I do now? I have experienced this deep pain on a few different occasions.   Each time I learn more about myself, God, and others.  I have learned there are two roads.  One road may seem easier and it’s usually the one we feel like taking.  We usually say something like, “I can’t do it anymore”.  “I quit”.  “Everyone’s a jerk”.  “I don’t need anyone”.  Or “I’ll be fine” ...

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE A couple months ago I spent a week with our High School students at CIY.  Great week!  If you ever get a chance to go to CIY, I highly suggest you do it!  Anyway I sat down with several students to talk about life and ending up talking about how they were having a hard time forgiving someone in their life.  “They’ve just hurt me too bad” “I can’t let go of the hate I feel towards them” Jo I know I’m supposed to forgive them but I just can’t” were some of the things I heard in these conversations.  My heart hurt for them.  Because I know how it feels to have such hurt, such anger in my heart towards another human being.  It feels like everything is off, like no matter how hard you try you just can’t seem to make life click.  Sweet teenagers there ...

You ever have one those days you just feel down.  No energy.  No smile to pass on.  If you were a color you’d be neutral grey.  Well I was having one of those days, one of those weeks actually.  I felt down, kinda sad. I just couldn't seem to find my laugh.  That’s when I realized I needed to escape.  I have several favorite places I escape to…the Resevoir, Garden of the Gods, Castlwood Canyon.  We all have different things that heal us, fill us up, and connect us to God.  Mine is nature. For some reason I hear God more clearly sitting on the side of a cliff or dangling my toes in a cold lake.  So today I headed off to the resevoir.  I love sitting on the quiet swim beach, listening to the sea gulls and geese.  I love watching the schools of fish swim around, unless they come to close to me, then I kinda freak out.  ?  As I was sitting on the beach today just listening to the quiet, I could feel myself healing.  I started to feel bette ...

    I ended up knowing more about the life of Amy Winehouse after her death than I did when she was alive. Of course I knew of few of her songs but that was about it. After watching news reports and reading a couple articles about her life I discovered that as early as middle school she was having problems with her behavior. As she began to make one poor choice after another she was heading farther and farther down the proverbial "wrong path." That path, by the way, ended with her death on July 23, 2011. I wondered how many people stepped into her life and tried to help her by correcting her actions and getting her on the "right path." Maybe many did, but she never listened? Either way, her death should be a wake up call to any young person to examine his/her path and the future that path will bring. Jesus says, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that lea ...
