God of Peace, I am Your Child
By Kathy Lamb
My son Paul has said to me, “Mom being with you is like being with a small child!” And when I visited my Son Jason in Seattle a few months ago he told me, “You’re just like a child. You say whatever comes into your head. You jump around from one thing to another.”

Don't be a Victim
Don't be a Victim
By Victoria Pangia
Rather than playing victim and dwelling in negative circumstances, think positive and appreciate what you do have. I have known people with terminal illnesses and severe physical and mental challenges. I have known people who come from very broken homes and terrible abuses. I have known people who have lost their jobs for long periods of time.
