It's no big deal? She wishes this were true Tell this to her battle When she's lost and she's confused Tell this to her mountains When the rocks keep coming loose Tell this to her heart When it's battered and abused. It's no big deal? She wishes it were so Tell this to her giants [...]
The best step that I've taken in these last couple of months was when I dropped my Sunday post. Shortly after this I decided I wouldn't read blogs on weekends as well. This has been really good for me. It's given me a chance to shut out all distractions and simply listen. One weekend I [...]

Nevertheless, I objectionably replied “No, I'm not!” I didn't want to be a part of that! Despite my emphatic "No!" [...]
