The Predictable Unpredictable-ness of a Video Shoot

Posted on 01.18.10 by Paula Hendricks | Twitter: @PaulaWrites678

We were just a few minutes into the interview when it became apparent that we would not be able to continue.

Rock-solid women

Posted on 01.17.10 by Paula Hendricks | Twitter: @PaulaWrites678

Topics: Sexuality

Dannah Gresh points out that God isn’t the only one saying purity is important. Feminists realize that if they can dismantle purity in a teen, so many other things can be dismantled: their view of men, children, and more.

Respecting a Boss I Didn't Respect

Posted on 01.13.10 by Mindy Kroesche
Topics: Workfront

In my first job out of college, my boss had a short-fuse and hot temper. At least one or two times a week, he would just go off on an employee, vendor, or client. I had little respect for how he treated others—which spilled over into my attitude toward him.

On January 1, I dusted off and opened up my One-Year Bible. On January 5, my eyes grew wide as I read that Adam lived 930 years. (I had forgotten that people used to live so long!) Can you imagine the opportunities for improvement if you were able to make 8 or 900 New Year’s resolutions? I thought to myself.

Ten truths that will change your life in 2010

Posted on 01.04.10 by Erin Davis | Twitter: @ErinGraffiti
Topics: Relationships with Others

Are you a New Year’s resolution maker? I’m not. Over the years I’ve found the tradition of vowing to change at the start of the New Year to be an exercise in disappointment.
