Melody Humphreys……………………………………
In her words, “I'm a 46-year-old woman, who until 8 months ago still believed I was 42. Not because I was lying to myself or others, but because I truly was not paying that much attention. To date, I have doggy-paddled my way through life, and somehow, I'm still above water and enjoying the swim. At age 30 (or somewhere close to it) I was diagnosed with ADHD, but I prefer to call it bumble-bee thinking. I buzz around, seemingly with no sense of direction, but I get there in the end.”2024-04-2345 min

Beliefs that we have held since childhood can be very resistant to change. If we have been raised to understand that marriage is between a man and a woman, we often believe that to be “natural” or the “way it should be.” This is especially true if we have been taught to link such a belief to our faith in God. It is easy, under those circumstances, to be swayed by fear and worry to say that change is wrong. It is easy to take on board...2017-10-1700 min
