We often talk about how hard it is to know God’s will for our lives, but let’s get real. Knowing God’s will is rarely the hard part; what’s hard is doing the part of God’s will we already know but pretend that we don’t. And then, hurting ourselves and others, we ignore a hundred warning signs, step on the gas, and drive right over a cliff. We’ve all done it.

If you’ve been around computers much you know they tend to get slower over time as more junk builds up inside their programming, and as more processes get fouled.

Any complex system does the same sort of thing as time goes by. Sure, you can keep applying patches, but the only solution is to wipe everything clean and start from scratch with a blank slate — or as blank as pos... Full story

PNT religion columnist Do you ever engage in negative self talk? Do you allow anxious situations to dominate? Such actions have a detrimental effect upon your body.

It takes diligence and perseverance but it is so worth it. We can read about David in the Old Testament. Enemies surrounded him on every side. Yet David encouraged himself in the Lord. He reminded...
