This was an extreme response, perhaps, but I certainly wasn’t alone in how I let stories of my forebears determine my beliefs and behaviors, and in how for years I saw ancestry-with its heady mix of genetics and family lore-as nearly inescapable destiny. From an early age, I’d known that my grandfather had been an alcoholic, and the common wisdom that the disease skips generations burned in me, leading me to believe that the merest taste would doom me to a short life of addiction bound to end ignominiously in a ditch somewhere. I didn’t touch alcohol-literally, not a drop-until a few months before I turned 21. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These are areas of our thinking dominated by the enemy-areas where we are deceived. Well, the Bible talks about strongholds in our mind. You have probably heard this term used when referring to soldiers fighting battles. What is a stronghold? A stronghold is an area where the enemy entrenches himself and takes control. Second Corinthians 10:4-5 says, The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (NKJV). God has given us His Word as our main line of defense against the lies of the enemy. We are in a spiritual battle, and we must fight with spiritual weapons. Romans 12:2 says, Do not be conformed to this world.but be transformed (changed) by the renewal of your mind. That’s why it is critical for us to learn how to renew our minds with the weapon of God’s Word. ![]() He attempts over and over to get us to believe things that aren’t true. You see, John 8:44 teaches us that Satan is a liar. One of the primary ways he does this is through deception, trying to bring all kinds of negative thoughts to our mind. I was a Christian for years before I realized I had an enemy, Satan, who will do everything in his power to prevent us from walking in God’s good plan for our lives. I believe the toughest enemy to fight is the one we don’t know about. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Corrections in Ink is her first book.Īn electric and unforgettable memoir about a young woman’s journey?from the ice rink, to addiction and a prison sentence, to the newsroom?and how she emerged with a fierce determination to expose the broken system she experienced.

Park himself, though, doesn't really know what to make of being Korean, saying, "I guess I don't really know what that means" (19.146-150). ![]() To this end, Park's identity is pretty closely tied to being Korean because that's what everyone else sees on the outside.

He's half Korean (Irish dad, Korean mom), and unlike his younger brother Josh, he looks more Korean than anything else. Park's not into sports, partying, girls, or the social scene at his school, and he's just popular enough not to get teased, and just different enough not to belong. If you met Park Sheridan on the bus, you'd probably think he was cool, maybe a little weird, and definitely an outsider. ![]() ![]() Sunny thought she knew most of the stories surrounding the cult duo, but as her interviews dig deeper, a nasty new allegation from an unexpected source threatens everything.
