Yesterday I responded to a question from a reader by examining a parable from Matthew 25. Believe or not, we aren’t done yet. Today’s retro Thursday Tip is all about living, loving, and serving with what we’ve been given, rather than lamenting what we don’t have. Watch the video below for more. Talent? from Ginger […]
“My best friend always gets the main character after auditions for school plays and other things. It has really hurt my feelings this time, so bad. What should I do?” – M Dear M, I can’t tell you enough how much I feel for you right now. I have been there, and not just figuratively. […]
I am so thankful to know that we have a God who welcomes us even as we stumble forward. “He wants them to learn to walk and therefore must takeaway His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased even with their stumbles.” – C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters […]

Today I’m guest posting for an old friend while he is on Sabbatical. He wrote in December and asked if I would respond to the question: “Based upon what you know now, what are a few things you would do differently if you went back to college?” It was a fun exercise to sit back and daydream about […]
Hey Ginger! I am struggling about my self-confidence. I know that I am supposed to love myself for who I am and everything. But I am truly stuck. Some girls at school are calling me names, and it is just bringing down my confidence in myself. I don’t cut myself or anything, but I have […]
