A Crack in My Vertical
What do Christians do when we're frustrated, angry, sad, depressed, afraid, or feel any other of a myriad of negative emotions? How can we find the source of the problems, especially when we're often told we shouldn't be feeling those things as believers?
There's a crack in my vertical!!
Dr. Deb Waterbury has addressed this very issue from the pulpit and in her counseling sessions, coining the phrase, "There's a crack in my vertical!" Her book bearing the same name examines exactly what might be missing in our relationships with Jesus that can affect our emotions, giving practical and useable suggestions on what we can do to repair those cracks.
