When I look back on some of the worst relationships I've ever had, the ones where I felt small, anxious, or manipulated, one "partner" stands out. The one I gave everything to but never felt satisfied by, the one I chased even when I knew it was no good for me. That partner wasn't a person - it was money. If you're like many people, you've probably felt controlled or overwhelmed by money at some point. We're taught to treat money as something to depend on but rarely trust ourselves enough to believe we can create wealth for ourselves. Money feels like a "necessary evil" rather than a tool of empowerment. But what if I told you that it's possible to reframe money as a supportive partner rather than a toxic one? In this book, we'll go on a journey to heal and redefine your relationship with money. We'll break down the common "narcissistic" traps money can set for us and learn how to spot them, resist them, and set boundaries around them. And by the end of our time together, my hope is that you'll feel both in control and at peace with money - the kind of relationship we all deserve.

The Suicide of RobertSuicide is an age-old practice with roots reaching as far back as the beginning of humanity itself. But what goes through the mind of the suicide victim once the deadly act has been initiated? Are there immediate regrets? Are there frantic wishes to turn back the clock for just a few minutes? During the fractured seconds between life and certain death, do they experience a "life flashing before their eyes" episode similar to what people in eminent peril have reported? But what if the suicide victim has an opportunity to be suspended in time, hovering between life and death just long enough to engage in dialogue with other victims of their own fatal acts? What if indeed. This story is about a man named Robert who has exactly that kind of impossible encounter. But what good did it do him, and what purpose did it serve him? Was it just a tease? After all, logically speaking and according to all the laws of the universe, it seemed entirely too late for Robert to experience any sort of intervention or reversal of his deed of death. But was it?

Those Old Women: tell their storiesBySheila RobinsonDate 2015Those Old Women: tell their stories The purpose of this theological narrative is to ascertain from first-hand telling, the truth about the often harrowing, and frequently unfair experiences and ordeals that women of biblical antiquity endured. Although their experiences were written about and inserted into the scriptural narratives of the Old and New Testaments, the women were not the writers of their own stories. It was the male prophets and writers who chronicled the women's stories within the sequence of events of the biblical story line. As a result, these questions arise, "How can a man write a woman's story?" and "How can a male who is the keeper of a gender-off-balanced culture and society write a balanced account of a female experience?" Therefore, to correct the biased accounts of their life encounters, several women of biblical antiquity whose personal stories are documented in scripture, ask God for an opportunity to tell their own stories. God is favorable to their request and grants them the chance to speak from their experiences in order to do so. It is decided they will each share their own life story to be documented for all the world to read. Still another question arises, how will this happen? The women conclude that someone must be designated to become the story teller. But who? God tells them of a young woman in the 21st century named Jennifer who struggles with her century's gender unfairness and her church's gender inequities. The women can tell Jennifer their stories and she will write them. The matter is settled; together these old women travel through time into the 21st century to meet Jennife
