Personally, I’m a purpose based (driven) person. I don’t do well in meaninglessness. What about you? Obviously I don’t mean on a level of intensity that it becomes consuming and obsessive. Nor do I mean the elimination of those fun, spontaneous, and joyful times and activities that occur; because while there may not be an […]
Do you live expectantly? Consciously expectant? Or does your expectant relate to specific areas or times, specific people? Subconsciously, somewhere in our deep recesses, we always live with a sense of some level of expectant… but is your life fully alert, not tense, alert? Perhaps the question should be… will you recognize what you are

Psalms 37:23-24 speaks to this question. And yes, it is a question and it is always our decision to determine which mindset prevails. We all make mistakes, we all need to seek forgiveness if damage has been done to another person, but it is always our choice to dwell in our mistake or let them

Years ago a friend gave me a book called: “God is in the small stuff… and it all matters” (highly recommend). Love the title but love the thought more. And… it’s true. There is no insignificant ‘stuff’ with God because He is interested and concerned about everything that impacts and influences us. What a terrific lesson to learn (and
“A spoonful of sugar” may make the medicine go down but sugar coating does nothing to disguise anything. I’ve discovered that I do not do sugar coating (which will be no surprise to my friends). I do believe I’m a good encourager and not bad at cheerleading, but sugar coating is not an attribute,
