  Is that how you’d describe your prime relationship? Are you in the position of being bravely honest or cowardly lying about what you think and feel about your relationship? Perhaps that sounded extremely harsh… so what would be your description? Many times, those are the only two behavior options and we need to decide […]

  Do you? Do you have a internal mental ‘scoreboard’ of what you’ve done for others and what ‘they owe you’? You probably wouldn’t have said it as crass as I wrote, but it doesn’t make any difference – do you feel that you are owed? Whether covertly or surreptitiously, do you make certain that

  This is one topic I’ve not written on… not sure why unless it is something (an attitude, mindset, frame of reference) that is difficult – disappointing, often typical, and painful. Perhaps one could argue about the operational definition of the word… to me it’s quite simple. Backsliding is placing the Lord and the things of

  According to Webster, one of the descriptions/definitions of ‘right’ is:      “being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper; acting or       judging in accordance with truth or fact.” It also reminds you of the scripture of what it is God seeks from us, “…to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk

  I recently read a comment that the writer believed that the Lord would do something ‘impossible’ in their life. Do you? Do you believe, for yourself, that the Lord will do something in/to/about your impossible(s)? As usual there are some questions you need to answer for yourself, such as: Do you feel that you ‘deserve’

  Of all the possible reactions to me – what I’ve said or done – the one that causes me the most distress is disappointment, regardless of who expresses it. Disappointment is difficult to deal with – no argument. I would maintain that when you are disappointed in yourself, this can be disastrous since it

  I realize that many of us don’t realize, but it’s way past time to continue to believe the lie and instead to choose to act, boldly and confidently on the truth. The truth? Forgiven. It would be my contention that THE greatest hindrance to our being all we can be is our assurance of

  Recently I read a post on Facebook which said:      “You have a CHOICE each and every single day.         I CHOOSE to feel BLESSED.         I CHOOSE to feel GRATEFUL.         I CHOOSE to be EXCITED.         I CHOOSE to be THANKFUL.
