What's more - is that actually biblical? It is possible that there really is nothing new and we're all just kind of going through the same puddle over and over again? Or maybe it's true, but it is the way it is for a bigger purpose, a purpose focused on us learning all we can to become all that God has designed for us to be.

On occasion, we hurt because someone or something has hurt us - other times, we hurt others. Either way it goes, it seems that life often involves either a little or a lot of pain. What are we supposed to do about that?  How, when every corner of ever media outlet is bent on convincing us that the world is a terrible place and people are all hatred and violence, are we supposed to make any sort of change?

Maybe not unhappy, maybe just... off, not right; discontent. It's that "nothing's going my way" sort of feeling that often comes when, well, things don't go your way. Been noticing that?

It's an awesome privilege to muse with you! We all know about having wants - not a one of us can say that we don't have them.

Every show now needs nudity, every song now needs lyrics involving sexualization, every corner of our lives needs to be saturated with half-naked reminders of how we're incomplete if we're not deeply involved in sexual behavior of some kind. Pornography, adultery, "hooking-up;" all normalized behavior that only the most prudish reject.So how's this working for ya?

If nothing else, it means we'll spend the next month or two writing the wrong date on our paperwork! But as the year changes from one to another, do we spend time looking back and reflecting on what we've accomplished with the days behind us?

Do we stop to remember what matters most inside of all of our doing, planning, and celebrating? Might seem like a silly question, what with all the familiarity most of us have with the "reason for the season," but in amongst all the stress, the planning, the wrapping, the buying, the baking, the making... does the meaning of it all get lost?  Townsend and Preacher Man think so - but we...2020-12-2537 minMusings with Townsend and Preacher ManMusings with Townsend and Preacher ManEpisode 36 - Should You Let Them Take Advantage of You?Wait - before you click away, give us a chance. Being taken advantage of is certainly not on the top of anyone's "to-do" list. In fact, just thinking about someone willfully being taken advantage of makes us question the intelligence level of the victim. But, is there a case to be made for someone willingly letting themselves be taken advantage of?
