I think it was called Parenthood.  We came in toward the end of it. It had just started before we made the wild trip to Fedex.  The elderly grandmother in the movie came in to a heated discussion between the husband and wife.  The husband play...

Mountain Appaloosa SOLD at Mirada Fine Art. Thank you Steve! Oil on Canvas      ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Accepting Helplessness  Depending on Divine Power Helplessness is a basic human condition. For those of us who like control in life, this is hard to swallow. While we try continually to grasp and deal with the world around us, we eventually find we truly are helpless. What seems to be easy for us to observe as actions needing to be done, cannot always be done. Something or someone stands in the way. In Romans 7:18 Paul writes:  "I can will what is right, but I cannot do it." Paul's journey was fraught with trials and bad events every place he visited. His writings spoke of his helplessness, but his attitude was always optimistic.  Paul constantly chose peace and joy in place of despondency.  Cli...
