Today has been a day with a lot going on. First, before I left home, I had the wrong socks on. They were too thick. Then, when I got in the car, the thinner pair I switched to were still too thick, so I took them off. As I passed the shoe store while on…

My first instinct was to do something not-so-nice to those who were hating me. Then, I saw the Bible verse, Romans 12:17, that reads, “If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good.” The Good News Translation Bible (GNT). I don’t know…

On a dreary and rainy day, I found myself with my bags packed and nowhere to go. I didn’t have a car, and I thought no one could help. I was homeless, confused, and not my optimistic self. I stood in a lobby somewhere with people all around me. I had been speaking to someone…
