Lessons From My Journal Episode 2 Part 1: Empathy & Accountability

Lessons From My Journal. Entry May 15th 2002. Religion was always a very big thing in my life. My natural curiosity  led me to read my Bible and interpret it in my own way. I was really focused on trying to be a better person in all aspects of my life and I was aware of behavior that was wrong for me. But this is my exploring how I can be better and feel better about the things going on in my life.
