Some Goliaths you can see — towering, armored, loud in their threats.Others live quietly in your head. Those mental Goliaths don’t need you to use a sling and a stone for them to fall. They need the truth but that truth needs to come from you. Mental slavery is insidious. It’s when you start thinking…

Living Life without Containment
Our dog Pocket was knocked down yesterday. I was in such shock that I couldn’t cry. It took a while for the tears to come and as I posted a couple pics of her on Facebook, the tears started to flow. Today the realization that Pocket is no longer here is hard to swallow. I…
