Empathy Over Entitlement in the Powerful Man

The powerful man in my view leads with genuine concern for others because he is confident enough in himself to do this. He knows that empowering others, uplifting those around him even when no one is asking, adds to his strength. But he is this way because it is right and not because it makes him more attractive on the outside.

Do you know this kind of man? I do!

Men who are willing to engage…

Powerlessness by Pastor Jack Lanza

2 Chronicles 20:12 / 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless against this great multitude which is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you (My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available regardless of the situation); for (My) power is being perfected (and…

Through These Experiences

I love the law and now realize that my purpose as I move through these experiences is to ensure that our laws are applied to the best of our ability in serving the needs of children and of safe, loving and available parents. Children deserve the best of both parents. ~ Deb

Beautiful Distress

Pastor Jack Lanza has darn good timing! Of course, it’s God’s timing… We’ve heard about a cause of action, a legal claim for damages possibly, called “intentional infliction of emotional distress.” This is a common form of cruelty or method for control by perpetrators of abuse, so I thought it was a good time to share what Jack Lanza sent to me:

Are You In Distress Today?

Sweet Success and Overcoming the Desire for Revenge

It was a woman – a poet I studied in college as an English major at Belhaven University – who first referenced success being sweetest to those who didn’t succeed in some venture, and I’ll add whether it was in a personal relationship or business endeavor. Emily Dickinson doesn’t use the word revenge, but hints at it with words and phrases such as took the Flag, victory, distant strains of triumph

Just what is Faith anyway?

“Faith is like muscle which grows stronger and stronger with use, rather than rubber, which weakens when it is stretched. Not a great faith we need, but faith in a great God.” ~ author unknown

My faith is being tested like never before and I have to remind myself almost hourly these days that God is not only aware and caring, but that He has a specific and worthy plan unfolding. My mother…

Motherhood According to God's Plan

Motherhood According to God’s Plan

It’s no accident that God made labor and delivery difficult (for most of us) and the same goes for the emotional rollercoaster caused by the joy, the fear and those pesky hormones.

But in my experience there is no greater good to do in this world than to mother children.

What is your world view? How do you see mother’s shaping how we react to new or strange circumstances, to uncertainty or to…

Rising Above It All

Can you imagine being asked to help someone who has fallen on hard times? Yes, of course.

But what if you helped that person and they betrayed you? It uncomfortable, but life happens.

Bear with me – this gets a bit more intense and strange.

What if the person you helped actually staged photos of your home, without your permission, and posted them online to use in promoting their cleaning…

Early Intervention and Better Judgment

That’s what we all want as parents, grandparents, teachers and coaches for our kids. To ask for help early on to troubleshoot any challenges, including emotional burdens. To use better judgment when choosing which company you keep, where you spend free time and how you treat your family, as a few examples.

This storycould have turned into a much greater tragedy, but fortunately no lives were…

Is Duty Calling?

Be original and unique, the little voice said.

A bigger voice said, “I wrote this here for you to follow.”

“Will you answer My call?”

There is no greater calling for me than advocating for others and for my children. Sometimes it comes with a steep price tag and maybe at the expense of some relationships, but it’s a duty that can’t be denied.

When I’m asked, which is at least once per week, why I…

Our September 11, 2001

We were on our last piece of furniture, one newborn in each arm.

I was already in survival mode, sleep-deprived and scared. And I was alone except for my babies, born almost two months early, my son in my right arm and his twin sister in my left. Other than what I saw in front of me on the television, that is my most clear memory. They were all I could really focus on and that was because it will…

Our Most Important Role

Can you tune everything out and focus on giving a child, your own or someone else’s, what they need in this moment?

If you can, that makes you a special someone to this child looking to you for understanding, for the right words or just for your shoulder, ear or hand to hold.

In almost every case or situation brought to my attention, there is a child at risk – at risk of not getting these basic…

Consequences of Standing Your Ground

When least expected you may face an attack on your character, on your business and reputation or the attack may come at you as a parent, or even on all of the above. Yes, unfortunately I know this personally and can attest to the uncomfortable consequences, but I also expect to demonstrate the rewards of learning and growing from the experience.

It’s a choice to stay in the experience rather…
