News: What’s Good About Anger program is ‘evidence-based’…

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Lynette Hoy, NCC, LCPC

I talked with Dr. Jim Bedell today. He said that the outcome studies he has completed so far show that the What’s Good About Anger program is ‘evidence-based’. The pre and post tests have been statistically significant in about the .5 range. He is still doing studies on participants in our groups and will be working with a statistician – providing a summary for the web site and those interested in the specifics of the results.

Today our troops killed Osama Bin Laden – the terrorist who has the blood of thousands of Americans, internationals, women and children on his hands. Today justice was done. Today an evil man has been destroyed.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness By Ray Pritchard

Posted on December 5, 2010 by Administrator

Few Christians realize nearly every problem in life stems from an unwillingness to forgive someone. When we hold grudges, seek retribution, and blame others, we end up hurting our relationships with God and peopleand shortcircuit our ability to live the Christian live the way its meant to be lived.

Why is forgiveness so difficult at times? Must we forgive when its the other persons fault? How should we handle repeat offenses? What if we feel we cant forgive because weve been hurt so badly?

Dr. Pritchard answers these questions and more by pointing to Gods example as the Supreme Forgiver. When we learn to forgive in the way He forgives, then we’ll know true freedom, peace, and emotional healing.
