When you emotionally surrender to one fear, you open the door to a myriad of others. I learned that the hard way, through my own experience. And I paid with years of my life.

You know that under pressure, your faithlife is forced into the open and shows its true colors. — James 1:2–3 MSG One of my favorite books is the book of James.

Breathing Space by Patsy Clairmont
We all need breathing space from our routines, relatives, and other relationships. But here’s my biggest struggle: how to get away from me. I often get on my own nerves. When I start to gripe at myself, I sometimes head for the beauty parlor, maybe because it’s such a girly thing to do. Of course I enjoy the personal attention and usually the results.
