Spiritual abuse has been defined as "a kind of abuse which damages the central core of who we are. It leaves us spiritually discouraged and emotionally cut off from the healing love of God." Another definition of spiritual abuse is "the mistreatment of a person who is in need of help, support or greater spiritual empowerment, with the result of weakening, undermining, or decreasing that person's spiritual empowerment."

Tornado

This is a picture of one of the tornadoes that hit the area last week. This is about one mile from where I work and maybe 7-ish from where I live. Thankfully, I was out of town when it happened. My family and our property are all ok as well. Even though there was one fatality and hundreds of homes demolished, it is a miracle that there was not far more damage done.

God is like...

...a frog.

He keeps jumping out of the boxes I try to put Him in.
