As a hairdresser, I deal with lots of tangles. Some hair is in really good condition and the tangles comb out easily. Some hair needs lots of conditioner and several minutes to soak before the tangles can be removed. Once in a while, I have to cut out a tangle. Some people, especially children, don’t keep their hair brushed. They brush the top layer, leaving the underneath to knot in tangles so twisted that it’s painful to remove them. Maintenance is vital….
Life gets tangled. It is just part of the human condition. There will always be maintenance because "all have sinned" and sin "easily entangles us". (Rom. 3:23 & Heb. 12:1)
Just like brushing hair to keep the tangles out, we must take personal responsibility to ‘walk in the Light’…to "confess our sins." (1 John 1:7,9) and "put off the old self, to be made new in the attitude of our minds" (Eph. 4:22-24) "…stop thinking like children, …in your thinking, be adults…" (1 Cor. 14:20)

About the Book
It is a devil’s lie that words don’t hurt. One word can carry such tremendous weight and such deep meaning.
Look with me at some ordinary words, and some not so ordinary words. Bare your heart honestly before self and before God. See if you identify with any of my struggles. Share with me what has been a fruit of reflecting on His Word and not just mine.
I know that I am not alone on this journey of faith. You are on your own journey. Let us reflect on His good Word.
It is safe to trust Him enough to be honest with ourselves before Him.
He is so good.
About the Author
Connie Pinkham is a wife, mother, grandmother, hairdresser, mentor, friend, and often a total failure.
Sometimes in the late night hours, a 'word' seems to make sleep impossible, demanding to be pondered, wrangled over, and reflected on. These writings are borne out of those times of sitting in the quiet of the night at Jesus' Feet or cradled in His Arms reflecting on the power of His revealed Word.
