Do you believe in… ‘by chance’? For me, it falls into the same category as ‘luck’ – good or bad. Simply, I don’t believe in either. The Lord that I serve would never be that willy nilly as to leave ‘things’ to our luck, or the lack of it, or to chance. The God who […]
What has ‘retirement’ to do with the context/focus of my blog? Actually, quite a lot? Are you the type that longs to retire? Do you ‘hate’ the idea because your job/work really defines you, who you are? Do you have plans for the now open time? Are you concerned about any aspect of your view
When you get down to it… how many people have you allowed to know you… including yourself? Not the surface you (which is never superficial, only surface), but the deeper you? Is there a reason? In some fashion are you protecting you? From what… or whom? Perhaps I should start with – do you like
