"Why can't you just move on?" I can't count the times I've been told this statement or heard it said to others in conversation. And the truth be told, the proper response to that question is, "I don't know how." Have you ever tried to break a bad habit or establish a new one in [...]

“As in the day of Noah…” If anyone recalls the story of Noah and the Ark, you remember the animals going into the ark two by two, and the rain and the floodwaters, the dove, and so on. But rarely do we hear the part of the story that prompted God to tap Noah on [...]
