  I think everyone, Christian and non, is aware of the concept that tells us we will reap what we sow, whether they are familiar with scripture (Galatians 6:7) or not. So, what are you reaping? Is your current state what you want? And if it isn’t, will you have the strength of character to do something […]

  Are you wounded? Do you feel a pain that goes so deep that it seems to be beyond even touching it, almost like it is impossible to reach the bottom? Do you hold that pain close to you, hoping you aren’t jarred? I remember when I first became a Christian (different from a christian)

  Who lives in your world? Obviously family, friends, co-workers (if you work), neighbors? Church family? Who else? I suspect there are far more residents in your world than you realize. What about what you do in your world – who are you and what do you do? Are you ‘known’? Or are you relatively

  Not a word? If not, consider it coined. To me, this is the foundation for the action of one who has integrity. When you check Webster to discover the definition of integrity you find: “…the quality of being honest and fair”. Quality. When you discover some of the synonyms you read – virtue, goodness,

  Whatever you are facing, whatever is challenging you, whatever is the obstacle in front of you… how you respond, or don’t, your attitude, and subsequent behavior will either make or break you.

  Do you attempt to present your ‘finer you’? The answer is – yes. We all do, especially when meeting new people. But… is there a difference between your ‘finer’ and your ‘everyday’? Shouldn’t be. Do you know the qualities that make up your finer you? How do they differ from your everyday? Or are

  It may seem obvious but joy and delight is typically bestowed on the doer of the doing, from their doing. Not that the recipient isn’t joyful at the unexpected blessing, but the person performing the act typically receives more. Rarely does just ‘thinking’ about (fill in the blank) create the same level of feeling

  I read on Facebook – “The same boiling water that softens potatoes hardens eggs. It’s all about what you are made of not your circumstances.” Yes! Another statement that should cause us to rethink how we are looking at our life and times. It is our perspective that will determine our perception which makes

  Seriously – have you ever thought about the fact that since you are alive right now that this is your time? You are uniquely placed right now, right here. It isn’t an accident that you were born for this time and you do have a mission to fulfill… if you choose to accept it.
