Cable News Doesn't Sustain In a Hospital Room

Monday Aug 16, 2021
With all the unsettledness in our country and around the world, what's our response? One thing we can do is turn off the television and specifically cable news. While news outlets profit over keeping us churned up, we profit when we turn our hearts to God's word "...and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. " PHIL 4:7

"I'll Get Help When It's Beyond My Control"
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Two different caregivers shared the same sentiment to me this past week. “I’ll get help when it’s beyond my control.”
When I quietly asked what shape they (and their loved ones) would be at that point, they both gave them same response: silence.
Many caregivers competently (and admirably) handle enormous challenges. The issue, however, is not how competent the caregiver is today. Caregiving takes a huge toll on physical, emotional, fiscal, and spiritual health. The time to ask for help is not when we’re overwhelmed, but to seek it in stages long before the critical point.

Monday Jul 12, 2021

Are we frantically '...hurrying up to relax?"
