  This is not an ‘of course’ statement. Life is not easy. I’m not certain it’s meant to be. I sometimes think it’s like being in school. There are life lessons to be learned, here and now, because I really don’t believe this life is all there is. What we learn in this life will […]

  I’m sure we all feel this way at times. But remember 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9     “We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed; perplexed but       not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down but not       destroyed.” ‘Not’ is the point. We are not crushed, in despair, abandoned, destroyed!

   Do you engage in this activity? Do you enjoy multi-tasking? Are you good at it? How do you use this ability to your greatest advantage? Is this approach always good, in all situations, at all times? The last multi-layered question was a give away… multi-tasking is a great ability, but it isn’t good in and

  Have you thought about what it is that you give? We all give, every day, but the question is our ‘what’. Are you the builder upper giver? Perhaps you dispense love or maybe it’s hope.

  Can you say ‘send me’ and mean it? And do if you do say it, is it based in faith and confidence? Isaiah 6:8 was a response given to the Father’s question,          “I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, And who will     go for us?’ Then

  I’m a phrase catcher. A phrase catcher is one who, when they are reading all of a sudden a phrase leaps, literally, off the page. For me, whatever I’m reading sends me off on another rabbit trail adventure. Example: I was reading a post by Jacqueline Winspear (who, if you haven’t discovered her writing

  What’s its source… do you know? Is it guilt-reaction, over something you did or didn’t do? Is it righteous indignation? Is it ‘justified’? What do you want to happen as the result of your expression of anger? Is the anger a seething? A slow burn that is eventually expressed in an outburst? Or… is

  Is that not a great phrase, or what! Unfortunately, I can’t take credit for it… I read it on a post by Jacqueline Winspear. But the phrase is so… so, spot on. I don’t remember the context for the phrase but I do know the feelings that arise when you are in a place

  Two words in Mark 16:7. But such powerful words. This was spoken by the angel(s) at the tomb after the crucifixion and burial, but they give all of us hope. Peter is singled out by the angel to be told the glorious news that Jesus had overcome the last enemy – death. Remember that
