ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Over a week later and, yet again, I find myself disappointed in myself. I don’t know what it is, guilt, bad self image, what? It seems that every time I do less than perfectly at anything I just want to crawl into a hole and give up. Every time I disappoint someone else, especially, I just seem to go into this fit of self loathing. I just want to run away and never have to disappoint anyone ever again! Stupid, I know, but I just feel so…, so…, horrible. As if I’m not worthy of anything anymore because I’ve managed to make a mistake. God I wish I could stop this reaction!

    Friendships Matter Much More than the Value We Place on Them

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    It’s worth considering your friends and recognizing that we need all kinds of friends. We need loose connections, and we need tight connections. We need long-term friends, and we need friends for a season of our lives.

    In short, we need each other. I’m afraid this has gotten lost in our culture and priorities, and I consider myself as guilty as anyone.

    I also know that being guilty of not prioritizing friendships has hurt me. It’s likely hurting you. It is hurting all of society. It’s time we started valuing close friendships again.
