I believe in signs. When it really counts, on the big stuff, I get them. Would you believe that my husband’s name corresponds with an intersection of two streets that were important to me? I wouldn’t either. But when you ask God what you are supposed to do and in the same moment you look...

Figurative Boost Regardless of your religious affiliation, Max Lucado’s piece on writing called The Write Stuff is uplifting. He writes: “Well-written words can change a life. Why is this?

Nothing depresses me more than people yelling at each other. In that situation, my two least favorite things happen: no one is listening to each other and nothing is getting accomplished. My daughter has taken to the word “hate” lately. “I hate Chick-fil-a all the way to outer space because they don’t have chocolate ice...
