Just another day in Paradise. Monday, February 23, 2015. Why I couldn't have cared less about sex trafficking:. I couldn't have cared any less had I tried, much less would it have crossed my mind to do anything about it. In the subsequent months I started seeing and hearing more and more about human trafficking. What I learned was pretty heartbreaking. Trafficking women and children for sexual exploitation is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world-and I literally had no idea. 8211; Without ...

Just another day in Paradise. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. The worst kind of regret. I witnessed today the aftermath of an incident that should have spurred me to action. It wasn't until I saw the firefighters attending her stone-still body that I realized what was taking place in front of my face. The infant ceaselessly wailing from inside his stroller, a terrified young woman's futile attempts to console him. Red shirts and khaki pants watching, remarking, trying to appear helpful. I asked the cashier.

And it bothered me. I'm beautiful in my way. I was born this way".

Just another day in Paradise. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Why I'm anti-anti- bullying. I am anti-anti-bullying campaign. This new witch hunt upon which our society has embarked really rubs me the wrong way. It's not because I'm pro-bully. Far from it- it has more to do, rather, with what we're teaching our children about wolves and sheep in the process. Please allow me to explain (and possibly redeem) myself. What is your primary job during this egg hunt, Aaron? To help the small kids.". As I turned around...

Just another day in Paradise. Saturday, October 4, 2014. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more. Than we might ask or think." (NLT). The new King James, consistent for succinctness in poetry and power in verse, says " exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. I wonder if at times we fail to ask for what we have deemed impossible. Do we dream with our hearts when we pray? Someone (it was me! With the God who's plan was redemp...

just another day in Paradise: Buried or Planted?
http://www.tayloredforthewise.com/2015/04/buried-or-planted.html
Just another day in Paradise. Friday, April 3, 2015. How deeply the followers of Jesus must have grieved when their Promised One - the Messiah- the long - awaited fulfillment of prophecy in skin and bone was dead; His lifeless body embalmed and interred, and with it, all that God had promised to accomplish for His people. How hopeless the twelve must have felt as they scattered to grieve this Jesus they loved so deeply and wrestle the darkness that would prove God a liar to their souls. In the First chap...

Just another day in Paradise. Thursday, September 11, 2014. What I really remember. Of course we will never forget. How could we? Somehow, walking through the day's events, retelling our reaction to the news over breakfast as we start our day has become an annual ritual. No matter how many times we have recalled the story it's now our way of honoring this day and all who lost their lives. I remember I was.and then I saw that second plane.I called my mother.".

just another day in Paradise: Counter-Culture Call-Out
http://www.tayloredforthewise.com/2015/05/counter-culture-call-out.html
Just another day in Paradise. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. I believe there is a subtle attack on Christian Culture today; an almost imperceptible shift in our thinking and though it may seem small, it's far more than just arguing semantics. I want to make one thing clear before you read a single word:. Who, more so than Jesus, could have justified self exaltation at the expense of just a few chickens? Jesus never came to soar, he came to die. It's a little scary, a thought on love like that coming from a pas...
