Straight Talk about Navigating Disappointment
Everyone experiences disappointment from time to time. How we deal with it, particularly if it’s ongoing, can make or break us and our relationships. Disappointment comes in many shades and textures. It could be something minor like the AirBnB looking infinitely better online than it does in real life. Maybe we experience disappointment when we realize our co-workers don’t take the mission of

Scratched: A Memoir of Perfectionism:
"Memoir as make it stop,
audacious in conceit, the dizzying, dragging minutia, of a life lived grasping for metaphors. " |

"This is a deep dive into the author’s life and struggles with perfectionism, which is more destructive than many realize. The book is a little difficult to read but there are some excellent insights into the author’s issues that kept her from complet"

| I know this received much praise from the literary world but I did not like it and could not finish it. I found it quite tedious. | |

| Walton has written an honest, vulnerable, insightful book that deserves to be widely read. He bases his thesis on 4 essential rhythms that will allow us to flourish and continue to resist systemic oppression: rest, restore, resist, repeat. I apprecia ...more | |

| Interesting read, esp. if you are curious about how folks who are on the spectrum find their way in a world that's not always kind or accommodating. I admit that I struggled to trust his narrative once he started working for Fox. A bit repetitive thr ...more | |

"This is the Jen Hatmaker book readers have been wanting for decades. Sure, there was a lot she didn’t say but also, she let folks in. While I’m still not a fan of the “choose your life” trope when it comes from privileged folks who don’t have to worr"

“On a day-to-day basis, we try to distance ourselves from the unseen realm (see Eph. 6:12) because spiritual warfare offends our postmodern sensibilities. We find it easier to believe that our spouses are hopelessly dim-witted rather than attribute our frustration to the thief who wants to steal, kill, and destroy (see John 10:10). It’s imprudent to assume there’s a demon inspiring every moment of marital friction, but it’s also foolhardy to ignore the larger spiritual reality.”

“Self-awareness means that we see our sin patterns, are grieved by them, and work to overcome them. It means we acknowledge our limitations and their cost to our spouses. To be self-aware is also to admit that we can’t get past our sin and brokenness by sheer determination or intellectual prowess; we need Jesus. If you don’t know what those areas of sin and brokenness are or how they influence your relationship, go ahead and ask your spouse—but not until you’re ready to hear the answer.”

“The Christian says, 'Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or to be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same.”
