For decades, the media has force fed us images of what is deemed the "perfect woman". Television commercials, magazine covers, and music videos, have gorged us with what society has unconsciously accepted as the ideal image; causing us women to feel we don't measure up. Even store-front mannequins are weapons that have preyed on the insecurities of women of all ages. While some advocates of healthy self esteem, such as the Dove Evolution of Real Beauty campaign, have outed the obvious Photoshop'd distortions of the reality of women; the revised version that displays women of all shapes, sizes, and builds, still isn't the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

God Does Not Choose Tragedy and Death
In a moment of tragedy, it's the natural response of our emotions to cling to what we feel brings us solace. A lot of us cling to the fact that God must have a reason; but sadly, even more of us hold on to the fact that God must have chosen for it to happen. When disaster strikes or when someone we love passes away, it makes our emotions feel better to believe there is a higher purpose. The truth...is that God did not cause it, nor did He have anything to do with it.
Boasting of Jesus is Not Arrogance
There seems to be some controversy about John, "The disciple whom Jesus loves." It's been said there are many people who find it arrogant that John refers to himself in that way; being that all of the disciples were loved by Jesus. While it is true that all of the disciples, as well as all of us, are loved by Jesus, NOT everyone is willing to receive it.
Helping Others Isn't Helping
I've heard it, you've seen it, everyone has known about it from somewhere; the cliche that if you're feeling down and out, helping someone will make you feel better. While it is true you'll get a junkie rush from your shot of "I did my good deed", whatever you were feeling prior to that fix doesn't go away.
