Yearning For Rejection; Thriving On Insults

A young single man checked into a Hilton Hotel. A card left on his pillow said, "Turn down service available, 7-10 p.m." The message meant that a housekeeper was available to turn down the covers on the bed during those hours. This young man saw a different message. "Why would you ever want a s...

On Feeling Low in a High Flying World

Save me, O God,
For the waters have come ...

Grace in the Midst of Unanswered Prayer

The Paradoxical Power of Weakness

Warts and All

"Warts and all . . . "

I love that expression. But it hits close to home, as I grew up with warts and moles all over my body. Some grew and grew and kept on growing. Others would appear, then disappear, then reappear in another spot. None of my warts or moles looked pretty and round and...
