  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.

  Sometimes casting away, off is what we need to do and sometimes we need to hold tight. Example from Hebrews 10:35 – “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” This is an example of a quality, attitude to NOT cast away.

Some people are players, involved with their lives – they take destiny and pursue it. Others are more of the sideline or substitute player types that

  When you think about it for only a moment you must admit that there is a great deal of darkness in our world.
