 Called to...Bravery?By Karen W.Would you consider yourself to be brave? What does it really mean to be brave? God is calling us to bravery, but how do we get there?
 A New Resolution: Not So Fast!By Karen W.I started out with determination and vigor! You know how it is when you impulsively decide to do something bigger than yourself. You are determined! You want to “ Just Do It!” So you “ just do it” with all your might and energy and with gusto!
 A New Resolution: I'm Determined to Do It Myself...with Some Help!By Karen W.Well, here it is another new year! New beginnings, they say. New resolutions, many of which will be broken before the month is past.
Have you made any new year’s resolutions yet? Or have you given up on making them this “late” in the year? I’ve gotten to the point in my life that I no longer make resolutions. I break them! So on January 1, I haven’t made any resolutions because I haven’t made a workable plan for any of my goals or desires or am not motivated to do it by myself.
 Surprised by LoveBy Karen W.She couldn’t believe what she was seeing! Why would anyone do this for her? He must want something from me, she reasoned. After all, no one gives anything without wanting something in return, right? So she continued scratching her way up the rocky walls with all her might, ignoring the shadow of His Presence over her.
 Too Hard!By Karen W.“Too hard!! Too hard!!”
The short but often repeated phrase of the mentally challenged child has become his trademark response. Little William, now 11 years of age biologically, but about 5 years old mentally, attempts to persuade his mother that he is not capable of completing a task that she has asked him to do.
 Are You a Sneaker?By Karen W.At first I thought that he was just being congenial that Monday morning. My friend, Nate, asked me how my weekend went.
 Which Wolf Am I Feeding?By Karen W.One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.
 How's It Workin' For Ya?By Karen W.This morning as I was watching “Life Today”, a Christian talk show ( www.lifetoday.org ), the topic of discussion was weight loss and how to “Lose It for Life”. Many people struggle with the seemingly hopeless issue of weight management.
 It Just Takes a NightlightBy Karen W.“Daddy, would you turn on a nightlight? It’s too dark in my room!”
A small child, afraid of the darkness, anxiously cries out to her Daddy to give her a little bit of light so she can see that there is no danger. If she is no longer afraid of the dark then she will be able to go to sleep at night.
 Free to Live!By Karen W.I was watching a television advertisement the other day about a weight loss program called “Free to Live.” I thought, “I don’t know of ANY diet program that I feel free to eat what I want to! So how could this one make me free to live?
 Freedom: Fly Like an Eagle...or Swim Like One?By Karen W.Eagles are awesome and stately creatures to watch. They gracefully soar across the broad, open sky above the earthbound creatures below. Oh, the grace and strength and peace that they seem to convey. It is as if they have no worries or cares of their own, isn’t it?
 Don't Worry...Be Free!By Karen W.There are two things that undoubtedly tend to cause me to stress and worry! Automobile trouble and financial struggles. Car repairs usually result in money problems, right? Twice the stress.
 Trade Ya!By Karen W.My friend, Kathy, attempted to give the needy young child a brand new shirt that would fit her much better than her old tight-fitting and hot sweater. The underprivileged toddler had worn this sweater for several months because she owned no other clothes. The sleeves of the sweater were too short and tight around her arms; the buttons were about to pop off across her chest; and the fabric of the pink sweater was much too hot for the sweltering heat.
