A Healing Journey
I don’t know what possessed me to do it. The thought of leaving my comfort zone gave me nightmares, yet in November of 2004 I signed up to go on a study abroad summer trip to the British Isles. I didn’t know anyone going on the trip. Plus, six-and-a-half weeks away from my home in Arizona sounded frightening. Maybe... >Read More

Put Worry in its Place
Last night I was so worried about not getting enough sleep that I couldn't sleep. My brain was working through all the details of the next day and I knew I had to be awake for it all. Ever have a night like that when your mind is your worst enemy?
Why do we worry? For me there are lots... >Read More

Fear At the Top of the Hill
I looked down the 15 foot rock face that the other guys had just ridden down on their mountain bikes and the sight of it froze me in place. But hey, the other five guys did it so I backed up, approached the steep decline and ... froze again, jamming on the brakes. My buddies waited at the bottom... >Read More

End Times Phobia: Reclaiming my future
I used to be a useless Christian. My bad end-times beliefs not only terrified me, but completely immobilized my spiritual life. Bible classes at my private school encouraged our imaginations to run wild, and what started out as a pre-teen fascination and curiosity in Biblical prophecy soon turned into an intense phobia.
