  It seems that ‘everything’ has layers. This is neither ‘good’ or ‘bad’ it is a given. Example: in school first you learn 2+2=4, and as foundation then you graduate to multiplication and division, and then on to algebra and trig, etc. You can catch my point – that everything really is a building block […]

  When departing from someone or something… how do you say good bye? And what do you mean when you say … ‘good bye’? Does it mean – The End? Does it mean a parting for awhile? How do you feel when you say those two words? Relieved? Sad? Both? And how do you feel

  How do you hear those two words… as a challenge? As a disbelief in (fill in the blank)? What are your feelings that emerge – anger? Shock and surprise that you, your word is questioned? Did you make your comment that invoked those 2 words unthinking and now you need to provide the basis or source

  The short answer is – absolutely! What isn’t OK is to try and deny that you have doubts… or that doubt isn’t that important… or ignore the doubt. Doubt can be a part of resolving any issue. I find that doubt can ‘stir the pot’ but it isn’t the pot nor is it the answer nor

  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

  Are you the ‘take charge’ type? Or… are you the ‘follow after’ type. Maybe you’re the ‘snipe at’ whoever does take charge type. Me… I’m the take charge one. In a crisis or panic or emergency situation, I typically allow for a 3 beat count and then if no leadership emerges… I do. Not

  I love words. I love the pictures they paint and the places they take me – if only in my mind. I love the sounds they make. There really is very little about words I don’t like… except when people use them to hurt others.  People can take a word, which initially isn’t used
