You do realize, don’t you, that God is not a Sugar Daddy? I sometimes think that we do… or that we harbor some kind of hope that He is. Not. Wrong designation. Many new Christians do have this misconceptions and become frustrated when this is not the case. How they come, how anyone would come, […]
In 2015 I wrote a post that I titled… ‘In the trenches’. Perhaps because of the times we live in, I thought a bit of a revisit was in order. I, obviously, can’t speak for you but, for me, there are times that this is precisely how I feel. YET… I have nothing to complain

Hmmm… does this mean, “I believe”? And when I say, I believe, do I really mean, I think? Related they are but they aren’t the same. At least to me. For me, ‘I think’ means that I have come to a conclusion, a point of understanding leading to a decision and an act… BUT, I
While I realize that the title sounds like a ‘duh’… we often don’t apply that thinking. Once we, because it is we that do this, put any one or any thing in cement – they’re (we’re) stuck, nothing can move. Cement is not designed to be flexible, it’s design so that whatever is in it

One of the very first posts I wrote (3/4/10**) was on Character… and it typically is implied in all my posts. Remember, we all are in a continuous process of developing our character. Yes, we slip, sin, err but we also discover, confirm and grow. Some of the thoughts from 2010 were: **If there is

How did this make you feel? Slightly embarrassed? Irritated?
What does your ‘every day’ look like? Does it make you shudder? Are you bored with it? See no glamour? Do you think that others’ every days are more exciting, more fulfilling than yours? How do you populate your ‘every day’? Because in the last as well as the first analysis – it is you defines (who
How many times have I railed (intransitive verb) against comparing? All the time! When you think about it… what does comparing do for you? After you’ve done your comparing… do you feel better about yourself? I would argue that the results of comparing is never positive. So why engage in unproductive and self-defeating behavior (one rarely
One of the more favorite current sayings is: “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. I’m not positive that we give enough ‘credit’ to that first step. It’s not just important, it’s critical. Where are you going? Do you understand your what, why, when, where, how? Do you allow ‘detours’ in
That’s what prayer is… talking with the Lord. At least this is my definition. And it’s bringing who you are right now… no frills, no affectations. It doesn’t matter if it sounds stupid or insignificant even to our own ears… not the point. We are supposed to bring our needs and wants (Hebrews 4:16) and right up
