Does it matter what others think?
I have been receiving quite a lot of prayer requests and questions about whether we should consider the feelings of others when making life decisions.

Saved from drugs and things of the world
I came from a two bedroom house with 15 other people living there. I grew up in a very violent family. I always felt unsafe. My mom and Dad stabbed each other with butcher knives. They hit each other over the head with frying pans. Added to that, my uncle and mom fought often. They...
