Are you? What do you do with/about being blessed? Do you hoard it – holding it tightly to you so it doesn’t ‘get away’? Perhaps you put it in a little box, under lock and key, and put it somewhere ‘safe’? Do you act on your blessing? Do you spread the joy around? Do you […]
There’s an old saying that goes: “You never appreciate what you have until you don’t have it.” True. I think I would add… do we really know and understand what that ‘it’ is? How can one appreciate unless one knows and how can knowing occur until we understand? And when does understanding come… Circular argument.
Have you ever thought about how incredibly blessed you are? If you’ve made Jesus your Lord then, by definition, you are. Don’t just remind yourself of this when things get bad, you should do this daily. Part of the reason is that you do remind you of your blessings. When you think about if…. You

You do understand that content and complacent are not the same thing? Complacent, in my world, is something to be avoided at all cost. But have you learned to be content in all situations? I haven’t. I do work on this but I’m definitely not there. From a different perspective, do you live your life

1 Corinthians 15 – a critical and pivotal chapter. I’m going to provide some of the verses that are so profound in my world, what I’ve discovered, been taught, and learned.
