Fountain of joy What is it in your life, in your thinking, in your habits that prevents your heart from constantly being filled with joy? (I invite you to take a minute and really think about this.)

Sticks and stones Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. But often, words do hurt us. Any time that this is the case, it means that we have become confused about our identity, that we have forgotten our worth as a human being. Somebody’s opinion never determines our worth. […]
