One of my random thoughts as I have gone through this day is this mantra (quote) that we used in our Treatment Group with the men who were/are incarcerated: “Truth is not optional.” There is only one other cornerstone that I believe preceeds the importance of living out this important “life instruction.” We must begin by building [...]

There are few things more frustrating in life than the stress of wearing a mask! No, not a Halloween mask, but the one many of us wear in order to be socially acceptable. We say the things that we think other people want to hear and we do the things that we believe we [...]

Hello Readers…I think you will really like this…..if you give the truth a chance!! I have been thinking about a verse, Proverbs 18:9, that can open your eyes to some straight forward truth if you will be open to it.

During the age of Innocence, the desire to procreate was as natural and joyful as the enjoyment of watching a beautiful sunrise. Mankind had no need or desire to elevate the gift of sexual intimacy beyond any other gifts and blessings from the Creator.
