Bill Hybels: “Storms often draw something out of us that calm seas don’t.” Without experiencing the highest of highs in life, and at the other extreme the lowest of lows, our heart and soul, and depth of emotions we feel, would remain constant and unchanged. It would be difficult for us to differentiate between joy and boredom, between pain and comfort, between anxiety and calm, between dark and light, or love and hate. Everything would Read more…

How Do I Do What I Do? Living With Peace and Joy Despite Chronic Pain

How do I do what I do? I’m often asked where my deep contentment comes from. I’m often asked how I always have a genuine smile on my face when living with incurable neurological illness and in intense, relentless discomfort and pain. I must be honest.
