Poem: Haunting Desire
I want it out, I want it out, This desire in my heart. I want it out, I want it out, So the sin won't start. I need relief, I need relief, From this damaging thought.

The Problem is not Anger, Grief, or Stress
The problem is not that we experience anger, grief, or stress. These are all reflective of our need for justice, love, and peace.

Prayer (from Psalms 25:1-2, 9-10, 20-21): … Continue reading The Problem is not Anger, Grief, or Stress
