Two Steps Forward And One Step Back
Posted on March 1, 2009 by erunner
It took me many years to get it when it came to recovering from a mental illness. I saw progress as a graph. Each day the graph would show some amount of progress in my recovery. Anything else was not acceptable.

Words have power. More power than we might imagine. Many of us have felt their sting as well meaning and some not so well meaning people have weighed in about mental illness in our lives.
Words also have the power to encourage and offer hope. We use words to communicate the Gospel. We use them as [...]

The Fruit Comes Afterward
“The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and storm” (Nahum 1:3).
I recollect, when a lad, and while attending a classical institute in the vicinity of Mount Pleasant, sitting on an elevation of that mountain, and watching a storm as it came up the valley. The heavens were filled with blackness, [...]
