Don’t Over Analyze Yourself
A good reminder for me as I seek to transition healthily into my sabbatical… It’s all about my focus… “Know yourself” is good advice. But to know ourselves doesn’t mean to analyze ourselves.

Overcoming Our Mood Swings
Such a great read today from Henri Nouwen… Are we condemned to be passive victims of our moods? Must we simply say: “I feel great today” or “I feel awful today,” and require others to live with our moods? Although it is very hard to control our moods, we can gradually overcome them by living…
