Generally speaking (whatever that really means) I do like now thinking and, generally, acting on the ‘now’. Part of my reason is that I know I am/have ‘now’ since I’m in it – I don’t know about later or tomorrow and yesterday is my source for understanding and knowing but now…. now has all the uncertainty […]
Are you one of those? Are you a perfectionist? In everything? In certain ‘important’ areas only? Do you ever ‘settle’ for less? How much does being a perfectionist control you? And, most importantly, who defines what perfection is for you? Sometimes I think that it isn’t a problem being a perfectionist as much as it
Are you an overcomer? Or… are you in the state of overcoming? There is a promise for us if we contend to overcome. (Revelations 21:7) “He who overcomes shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” Now that is a promise worth contending for! But… if the
I don’t know what you think, but I’m not convinced that anyone knows when one hits the magic ‘grown up’ status. Is it a particular age? Is it automatic? How do you know what it is when no one can really define it? That magic achieved grown up status is individually defined and since it

We’re all engaged in battles. Some life threatening and some only annoying – but a battle is a battle. I do have a question though – are you in the battle to win? Or are you a ‘grin and bear it’, stiff upper lip type? Or perhaps you feel that there’s no hope of ‘winning’
Without question fear is the most debilitating emotion. Regardless of the source for the fear, it is paralyzing. And it impacts every aspect and facet of our life when it emerges. It’s like dark – it totally encompasses everything… until the light appears. And like light and dark, faith and fear can never exist together, simultaneously – they are
I realize this may sound puerile (that is another of those fun words to say like oxymoron) but I have a very serious question for you. Whose life are you leading? Is it the one you always thought it would be? Is it one that has taken you on merry but certainly unexpected adventures? Is it one that
There is a wonderful line in one of Susan W. Albert’s books that says, “…under certain circumstances, almost anyone can be driven to almost anything.” True? Or are you going to attempt to take the moral high ground and state – ‘Not me!’? Sadly, it really is all too true. Sure we can say, ‘… we’re
