It had been a long time, an extended period when I wondered about my future. It seemed things were going to go in a problematic fashion forever. I couldn’t get a break. Not for a minute, not for a deep breath even. I had been so sad that my prospects were hopeless, I left home…

For almost a year, maybe longer, I have been wondering what was wrong with me. I have been spinning in circles, running back and forth, and not knowing what to do with myself. I was supposed to be flying forward with the business I had started, but it just wasn’t happening. I would take a…

When I was speaking with someone about how I began learning about the Bible, I said, “I think it was helpful that I acquired knowledge about different verses gradually. And it was a subtle learning. I spotted verses in a book by Norman Vincent Peale, and later, on an app. Soon, I became intrigued. As…
