Confrontation and Contention are not the same and not interchangeable. Contention includes anger. Anger is a red flag, a warning sign a boundary has been violated; don't stay in it. Anger means action needs to be taken. Contention is dictated by the anger. Confrontation doesn't require anger. It challenges. Too many people become angry when they are challenged. 

Celebrate All or Nothing Day

 ...with a story.

All or Nothing 

The tenth novella in the series...

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Secrets? Angela Goodrich owns a few. Moving to Holiday is her dream come true. As Holiday Sweets' new manager, she wants a fresh start even as she wants to share the truth of who she is. Will she still be welcomed?

Anger issues? Caleb Bronson denies it despite the fact he'd like to throttle his EMT partner's new fiancé for wronging his sister. What does it matter if his anger is dominating his life and spills over on the attractive and newest resident of Holiday?

The truth will set you free, if you're willing to endure the discomfort of letting go of the lies. God knows the pain hidden in the soul anyway...

If those who push solar power think it's the end all be all, then why don't they install it in rural areas of Africa where electricity is so desperately needed? Prove to the world how well it works and how amazing it is? Convince the world it's the best choice by showing it. Instead of wasting money on commercials and depriving those who had reliable energy by other means.

Ready for All or Nothing Day on Tuesday?

Someone argued that if it was about babies then classes would be available, time off would be available, the funds for the baby would be made available, and on and on and on. Using that logic to justify killing a baby should then be used to justify killing anyone with disabilities, killing the elderly with dementia and Alzheimers. Where does it end?

Who am I? First and foremost and most importantly, I am a child of God. We are each a child of God. As I hear the clarion call to focus on identity, I've yet to hear any of the angry voices declare that they are a child of God. They all want to focus on a detail, an aside, something that won't be an issue on the other side of death. Details that have no place in the eternities. Forever is being thrown away for a blip in time. God wants to give us the world and more, but we refuse to release our pitiful fistful of dirt.
