Guide Dog Tale: How Iva Helped Me understand Godly Jealousy
Have you ever wondered why jealousy is sinful, but God is a jealous God? That’s a tough one to figure out because God cannot sin. Today, Iva helped me understand this mystery better.
We were at my doctor’s office. When the nurse called my name, we all stood up; Timmy, Iva, and me.

Words Hurt
One of the greatest lies we were told as children was that little rhyme: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. All the while we stuffed those slurs deep inside. We reminded ourselves that the words carried no weight, but if they were so meaningless, why do we hear them over and over again?
