The Worry Gene - Danyale Patterson

The Worry Gene

“Oh I know something bad is going to happen!” exclaimed the lady I was talking to who admitted that she had trouble with worrying too much. “I guess I have the worry gene”, she said.

Help – I’m Offended!

How many times a day do we get easily offended by what we hear and see? It seems like it really does not take much to tick us off, especially with our family members.  Drive in your car for a few minutes and road rage starts bubbling up.   Get on social media, and from one

A Clean Slate

Sitting in a garage does not make a person a car, nor does attending church, religious titles, or doing good works make an individual a follower of Christ.  Jesus states in Matthew 7:21-23 (MSG), “Knowing the correct password — saying ‘Master, Master,’ for instance — isn’t going to get you anywhere with me.

God Is Good

Have you ever felt like certain people, even your family members, really don’t know you?  They think they know you because of familiarity, but are clueless to the desires and motives of your heart. Their conversations about you come from a misunderstanding of who you are.  As a matter of fact, trying to communicate with

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall… I don’t like what I see.  How many times have we complained about our physical features, personalities, skill set etc.?  A person’s greatest critic is usually themselves.
