Take Time to be Lonely
By Kelley Benson
Do you know the feeling of being isolated from others? It can feel scary and challenging. At times like this, we can often feel sorry for ourselves, thinking that everyone else has it better than we do. However, when it comes to dealing with the problems in our lives, the fact that everyone struggles with some kind of sin, and that everyone experiences their own “challenging” event in life, should help us realize we’re not really alone.

Do You Believe the Story?
By Kelley Benson
Storytelling is an art that is truly captivating when it’s done well. It’s also one of the best ways to share facts about an event. People constantly tell stories to share feelings, in part instructions, even to warn of dangers. So, it shouldn’t surprise us that our Heavenly Father, the one in whom we are created in His image, chose to share the story of salvation primarily through a narrative story.

Writer Quotes: Neil Gaiman
"I had to reread a few stories I wrote aged 18-21 a few years ago. They were (to my mild surprise) terrible. I'm glad I didn't know, and kept going anyway. But the keeping going was the important bit."

Rejection
By Kelley Benson
One of the greatest tests of our character is dealing with rejection and suffering. No one likes it! But rejection is inevitable. Sooner or later, all of us will experience it. And when it happens, we can’t help but ask ourselves some questions: Why me? What did I do wrong? Then come the thoughts we rehearse over and over, replaying that moment of rejection…wishing we’d seen it coming so we could avoid it.

Proving Who You Are!
By Kelley Benson
How would you prove who you really are? We have to do it all the time at stores, or on applications, even among our friends at times. Whether it’s proving our name and address, or our ability to do what we claim, it’s a regular part of life.
What if you claimed to be the son of God? How would you prove that? Obviously, that might get us checked into some kind of hospital if we went around claiming that, but think about what Jesus had to go through to get people to believe that He really was the son of God who came to earth to redeem all of mankind from their sins that separates them from the creator of the universe. It may sound like a daunting task—unless it's true.
