Do you know if you are congruent? Do you listen to what you say… and see what you do? Do you like you… despite your ‘failings’? How do you know all that? Can one tell from your words and behavior? Are your words and behavior like shifting sand… all over the place, spilling over, not […]
Being blindsided… happen to you? I suspect we all get blindsided at times… by ourselves as well as by others and other types of ‘triggers’. To be perfectly clear – being ‘surprised’ is not the same as being blindsided. Blindsided is always unbidden, unexpected, and not wanted. Sometimes it takes our breath away, sometimes it
I think we all face at least one ‘unbearable’ in our lives. Actually, we probably experience many unbearables. Some of us feel like we have far more than our fair share. And realizing all this helps us get through those times. Because we need to have the mindset that unbearables is something we go through…
Do you remember the end of the verse of 1 John 1:9? As a reminder… “… and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When we talk about the Lord’s forgiveness there is always the act of restoration. John makes it perfectly clear – when we confess and truly do not want to repeat the behavior/words,

What do you think? Do YOU have or exercise Free Will? Or, are you a fatalist? This position really does give you a ‘way out’ because you don’t have any responsibility if you have no control. This point is sufficient for me to NOT believe in fatalism. Fatalism is nothing more than a lame excuse!
I realize that we often hear, at the end of the year, that it’s been a/an (choose your adjective) year. When it is 2020 that we are talking about, that ‘WHAT’ is far more than we realized when we began 1/1/2020. It is difficult, not impossible, to find the ‘good’ in the year. But the

Do you get those feelings that you’ve missed it? Or worse, blown it? That all you’re currently doing is marking time and or languishing somewhere at the back of a very dusty shelf? It may not be depression or melancholy you are experiencing, but there is a tangible and distinct feeling of disquiet and restlessness.

Some of the more remarkable statements Jesus made was to tell us, unmistakably, why He came. It is an incredible list of what He brings us so that we can live the abundant life. None of His ‘gifts’ are insignificant and they all provide us with a foundation. Do we appropriate them for ourselves and
