Reassurance: The Needed Component in Reconciliation

I think you will appreciate this one, a lesson on reconciliation drawn out of the narrative of Joseph and his brothers.

Lamentations

Bifrost Arts has a new album out that features songs of lament. You can listen to it at all at Bandcamp.

The Downward Spiral of My Discontent

You can identify with this, I’m sure: “I find myself feeling Eeyore-like with a black cloud over my head and a target on my back. My already full plate doesn’t seem able to hold anything else and I’m speeding down the slippery slope of self-pity. At the same time, I’m exasperated with myself for my despondency.”

Marble Race

    They Won’t Because They Can’t

    If you’ve flown recently, you have probably made the same observation I have: No one pays attention to the pre-flight safety videos.

    Men in the Image of Women and Women in the Image of Men
