I was buried in another Donald Miller book and while I was searching for God on his pages, my heart broke as he began to tell this story of a boy he went to middle school with. Every school has their geek and this was just another tragic story of a boy who was picked on and deemed “uncool” by all his peers. How could they be so cruel to him, I ( Read more... )

Only until you’ve lost everything are you free to do anything--merely a line out of my favorite movie.

I’ve been front row center for my share of break-ups and failed attempts at romance. So what’s the recipe for success in a relationship? Everyone has their opinions; every story unfolds differently--so is there a carbon copy cheat sheet floating around somewhere that I can get my hands on ( Read more... )
