When The Rubber Meets The Road

Dear Pastor Susan,  I just read your blog about not awakening love before its time. I’m a college student and I believe I have met the man I will marry. We’ve talked about it and have a plan. As soon as school is over and we find jobs we will be getting married. We are [...]

Blaspheming The Holy Spirit

Linda writes: I am concerned that I may have committed the unforgivable sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Twice when I was younger, I looked up at Heaven when I was unhappy and put up my middle finger and said F—You to the Holy Spirit and cursed him! I have since repented of this and [...]

Chef Boyardee

      My husband and I both woke up with the flu last week. I think it was because the day before I’d gone on a long walk with Lulu, the wonder dog, and it was dusty and I was wheezing when I got home. That’s not how I caught the flu, just stay [...]

What’s On Your Mind?

      So my goal in starting this blog was to get interactive. That has happened on a small scale but as you read these blogs, what stirs you? What makes you think? What would you like further discussed? Let’s make this blog more interactive. So far, some of you are emailing me with [...]

These Are The Threads Of Our Lives

      Have you ever realized how many people you touch each and every day? I don’t mean physically touch but I mean touch by a word, or a smile or a not so friendly hand gesture in traffic? Part of being a human being on the planet is that we are interconnected and [...]

Nothing More Than Feelings

    People in our church say things like, “Pastor Susan hates feelings.” No, I don’t hate feelings and I’ve never said I hate feelings but I do say things like, “don’t be ruled by your feelings”. There is a great problem in America today with feelings. We allow them to control us and we [...]

Self-Esteem

        I was teaching a parenting class once when one mother was appalled at another mother’s decision to not allow her daughter make-up. She said shocked and loud, “But what about her self esteem!!!???” The class all looked to me, waiting for me to agree with one or the other of these [...]

Accountability

      My husband walks in the other night after a counseling session and says, “I pulled a Susan Young tonight.” Okay, that got my attention so I said, “What does that mean?” He goes with a big sarcastic grin, “You know, one of those ‘quit whining and feeling sorry for yourself take responsibility [...]

Where Did I Leave Him?

        He was here yesterday. I know he has to be around here somewhere. Where can he be? I mean, honestly he was here and then he was gone!   Hmmm, maybe I accidently left him in the kitchen. Maybe in a drawer somewhere?    Maybe I left him in my closet. [...]
