  I’ve come to the conclusion that ‘mistake’ has subcategories. There are those mistakes that prove to be a complete surprise to you. There are mistakes that you really should have known better, and probably did, but went ahead anyway. Then there are the mistakes made by others but laid at our feet. There are […]

  Is this how we respond to the Lord? My answer would be a resounding – ‘yes’. When we feel a stirring from Him then, sadly, we typically respond by saying that we will get back to Him … later. He, on the other hand, is always ready, now. And to be honest, when we go to Him

  First: you do know that in exercising your rights there is a price – yes? There’s also a cost when you don’t exercise them as well. How and what do you do to reconcile these two? Can they ever be compatible? Can you ever exert your rights without trampling on the rights of others? Is

  I know, I know. In some fashion I always seem to be talking about priorities directly, indirectly, by implication if not by intent. I probably always will. It’s because we all function on our own frame of reference, our own predilections consciously and subconsciously. AND I think many of our ‘mistakes’ or mis-steps, our

  Isn’t that a great word?! What is it? I’ll spare you the time to look it up but it means: a condition of constant change or alternation, as a natural process; mutability. CHANGE! We are always dealing with change and there are a whole grist of people that really don’t like change and will waste

   If you hear that phrase…watch out! Typically the speaker always follows that opening with…’but’. This can be translated as – but I don’t think so, and then proceed immediately to give you their opinion on (fill in the blank).  Do you do this? Probably. I know I do but follow the phrase with, but I’m

  Have you considered the word? Power is a relational word – it’s always in terms of some thing… or someone. And… we all have power if only in our ability to give the power over us away. What is your power related to? And who or what has power over you? Is your interest piqued?

     I’ve made another writing tweak.      My blogs have been the ‘feeding’ or ‘proving’ source and ground for my books. All of my books have relied heavily on the blogs to provide the entries for ‘YOU’, ‘The Blatant Christian’ and ‘Wonderings’. But from this point forward, this will be the exception rather than the rule.     As
