DO YOU BELIEVE?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF A MIGHTY GOD AND NOT BECAUSE OF A MUDDY GLOB? WE HAVE A GOD WHO IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, AND EVER PRESENT. A BOUNDARY IS SIMPLY A PROPERTY LINE. IT CLARIFIES WHERE YOU END AND THE OTHER PERSON BEGINS... BOOK-BOUNDARIES...BY HENRY CLOUD & JOHN TOWNSEND

CONFRONTED

WHEN CONFRONTED BY OTHERS, ON OUR CHARACTER IS NOT PLEASANT. IT HURTS, BUT IT DOES NOT HARM. WHEN DONE LOVING IT PROTECTS ME FROM MY BLINDNESS AND MY SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS. IT CAN STOP ME FROM DISASTER. THERE ARE '"CONFRONTERS AND STROKERS." CONFRONTERS RISK TELLING US THE TRUTH, BY TELLING THEM I RISK THEM LEAVING. STROKERS NEVER TELL YOU THE TRUTH AVOID IT. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, CAUSE THEN THEY ARE HAPPY. THAT'S NOT LOVING YOU ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN YOUR ATTITUDE OR BEHAVIOR IS DRIVING YOUR LIFE OVER A CLIFF, EVEN THOUGHT YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW IT! STROKERS FLATTER US INSTEAD OF CONFRONTING US.
