According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the need to belong and be known is right in the middle. Some people look at being known and see it as the need to be famous, well-known or popular. On the other hand, people need people. They don't always realize it but they do. On Sunday, the sermon … Continue reading Will you be my friend?
God
The Road to Hell
Before I moved, almost a year ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do (hobbies, Bible studies, reading, changing habits, etc) and a list of people I wanted to connect with on a regular basis since I was moving three hours away. (I apologize now if you were one of those people … Continue reading The Road to Hell
What do you crave?
Recently, I started reading a book called Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst. I know a lot of my issues surrounding my food addiction are spiritual.

When temperature … Continue reading How do you measure up?
I am not well.
Today I want to talk about health and wellness. There is so much information out there, and mixed information, I think most people fall into one of three categories: 1 - They are die-hard followers of a certain lifestyle; 2 - They are really confused by everything but do what they can; or 3 - … Continue reading I am not well.
