Never trust your problems with someone incapable of solving them

Tonight I am thinking about this quote.  How much trouble would we save ourselves from if we followed this wisdom?  The definition of trust is to rely on.  How can I rely on someone to solve my problems if they are full of problems themselves? After being in the ministry for 21 years, (am I really that old?)  I have watched over and over again as Godly people begin to struggle with life issues and get sucked under by them because of who they choose to trust with those issues.  No man or woman is capable of dealing with your issues in the proper way unless they are wholly committed to pointing you to Jesus Christ!

Book Review: The Boy who Came Back from Heaven

This book is the gripping story of Alex Malarkey, a six-yr old who was in a terrible car accident with his father.  The story gives the account of the young boy in heaven and describes things like the music and angels.  It is an easy read.  I really enjoyed it and found it believable.

Book review : "This Thing of Ours"

Television is full of reality TV shows.  When I saw this book was available I immediately thought of the show Mafia Wives.  I am scared of those women! I think they could hurt me.  I say that with a smile but the reality is those women are hurting.  The life they are a part of is filled with violence and anger and they need the Lord Jesus just like we all do! This book was super confusing to me.  It seemed to me that the author spent alot of time trying to convince the reader (and herself?) that her life choices were acceptable and that she was innocent of the lifestyle she married into.  The book is about how she, a 'Christian', married a high profile mobster ( with no knowledge of the life he was leading?}.  The book talks about the years he was running from the law and then in prison and how he eventually gave his life to God and stepped away from the mob life. I promised to review this book so I have but cannot agree with it or endorse the mess...
