What controls you… do you know? Perhaps I should have said – what motivates you? Motivate is a much better sounding word than ‘control’. However, I would argue that if you don’t know why you do and don’t do (fill in the blank), then control is a better description. ‘Conscious’ is closer to describing your […]

It in not necessarily the end… it may be a new beginning. This is, obviously, a different kind of mindset. Do you ever feel that you’ve plumbed the depths of (fill in the blank)? That you know and understand and can properly apply all that you need to know – in terms of the particular

Looking at fear and faith… I can’t think of any two forces that are such opposites. If one exists, then the other can’t. If you don’t want one to ‘rule’ your life then you have no alternative but to root out the other. In this case, the only antidote to fear is faith. This also
Auto correct yet again! Yea? No, Ye. Spell check … didn’t! Sorry. Probably shouldn’t have used KJV, better with ESV or Message or NKJV which would have said – you.
