Not sure how to put into words how I am feeling at the moment. How can someone judge you about what you do, when they don't even understand it? Can they read my mind and understand my intermost thoughts? How can they criticize your actions without knowing your reasons? How... Continue reading

Pescetarian it is

As a weight training and fitness junkie, I have been encouraged to consume large amounts of protein to build muscle.

Where is Your Joy?

Sunday morning during Pastor Bruce Frank's message, I was given a little reality check. I am allowing life to rob me of my "JOY." We have all read the quote, "don't sweat the small stuff", but do we sweat the small stuff so much that we are drowning in our... Continue reading
