Quite honestly….. I don’t think ‘obligation’ is a good motivator. The ‘hafta’ foundation rarely produces the desired a and e ffect . Obligation carries with it the feeling you should wanna, regardless. And the status of obligation comes from…? Take a look at some of the spiritual haftas – love, for example. But are there […]
I believe that a teacher is defined by their attitude. There are many who teach but really aren’t teachers. Teaching is not about telling … it’s about asking. At least this is the reason I use questions in my approach. Granted I love to teach – my purpose is to touch the life of the

Ummmm… how did I get here? Perhaps more important… HOW do I get outta here!!!!! I feel like a whole lotta pruning is going on. Activities, responsibilities, leadership… and I could go on, but this seems to be the best definition of the ‘environment’ I’m experiencing. Accurate? Not sure. But I seem to be at

Do you really understand? Do you see that God’s armor – that He GIVES to us – encompasses us completely? I know there are those who say that the back is open because we are never to retreat. While I like that, I’m not sure that they realize the significance of the armor. Scripture tells

Yes… I know I write on forgiveness – often. I think it’s because it is such an integral and important attitude, standard in our lives. Without it (being forgiven AND not forgiving others) we carry a great deal of baggage around. And I am not suggesting we be cavalier about forgiveness… that’s nearly as bad.

I did NOT say… WHO are you! I’m asking… who you are – now and becoming? Since you have accepted Jesus’ invitation and made Him your Lord… do you know who YOU are? Just like there are many roles you play in your secular life, you have spiritual roles as well. Such as? Well you
I should probably add – unless we choose to live our lives on our own ‘abilities’, according to what we think. If this particular writing seems familiar … it probably is. It is critical for us since WE are the actors, WE do the doing, BUT… BUT WE HAVE THE ANSWERS, THE METHOD TO SUCCESS…
