Do we really understand the power of words? Probably not. I do like words and try hard not to misuse them. This is especially true when I’m teaching or writing. I know the power words have so I don’t want to use them lightly… nor do I want them to be used as a weapon […]
[This is one of those in the middle of the night ‘inspirations’ that occasion the thought that I can already tell that this is going to turn into a blog post. The [] will indicate a side conversation with the Reader as we proceed.] As you are about to lie down on your bed, or

[If there seems to be a theme emerging…. ummm, yes. And each builds on each other – we need to act on ‘it’ all.]I know I’ve written on our issue of ‘accepting’ … there’s always more questions and more to learn. I just wrote a post on ‘Always Forgiven’ and raised the following: “And after

To say that I love questions is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. I’m not too sure that I don’t live apart from the questions.

When it comes to our mistakes, errors in judgment, sins…it’s how we respond that define us… in so many ways. ‘Doing the right thing’ is not always easy… it’s not necessarily ‘automatic’… but I think we always instinctually (or intuitively) know. The only question is – HOW we respond. Do we try to hide? ignore?

We are always going through… Tests. But I think most of us need to redefine what the word means and does. I believe that the purpose for tests is to help us discover what we don’t know, what we still need to understand. God is not punishing us or displeased with us, He is testing
