It’s true, you know – it depends on our perspective – it affects everything about how we react and interact with (fill in the blank)! And sometimes this is overly influenced by our mood. And our mood is greatly influenced by what we do first thing in the morning. Personally, I’m a slow waker-upper. I […]

Back in 2011 I wrote a blog post titled: ‘Poverty Mentality’. I sometimes believe we in ’21 are caught in the grip of this thinking. Legitimately, from a standpoint of the world’s standards, it could be argued that this is true. But, for just a moment, think not about the carnal issues of life but

Does this matter? Why? Do you ask yourself that question? Often? Answer: (in my world of definitions) If the Holy Spirit is active in your life… active not just resides, then the answer to the question is – yes. If you are led by the Spirit, if He has a ‘voice’ in your life then
Is it me! … Or is it the Lord? Read More »
The Church is for everyone though not everyone ‘fits every Church. Since the word, Church, is tossed around so much, you need to know what this means – specifically, what it looks like, and how it acts out it’s beliefs. How do you define church? Or is it that somewhat nebulous, assuming same definition by
I believe that we all experience these times of crisis on our life’s journey, somehow they are unavoidable. It’s really understandable because we aren’t always our best Christian self, we sometimes are operating from a position of anger or pain or misunderstanding. The point is to not stay there. How and why you got there
Have you ever considered just how all encompassing the word – Trust – is? This word defines a relationship at its core. Without trust, no relationship can grow – it always stays at arm’s length. But what convinces you to trust or not trust someone? Is it merely a feeling? Probably not, but what is
What to do about … Trust Read More »
Over the past 10 years, I’ve written on ‘Journey’ 5 times, the last time in January of this year. One could suspect that I like journeys (absolutely) and/or that I enjoy contemplating journeying (indisputably). Besides, there’s so many aspects and manifestations to the word: preparation, your position (planner, passenger, etc.). Which brings up an ‘aside’…
Do you know the definition? Do you know what it means? More important… do you know how it applies to you? Webster’s definition says: “not possible to revoke”. Well, that’s not helpful, is it? Synonyms: irreplaceable, irrecoverable, irredeemable, irreversible… this I interpret to mean a done deal, can’t and won’t be undone. Thankfully, scripture gives
Dos and Don’ts are not options when the source and authority is the Lord and His Word. We aren’t even asked to ‘like’ the do/don’t. They are … are’s. And if you noticed, they are also rather blatant – you really can’t say you don’t understand. They say what they say. Granted, you may not
Have you ever noticed that when the Word gives a directive, it gives the ‘why’ at the same time? You don’t have to seek the reason – it always presents what happens when you do obey and when you don’t. We never read a ‘ because I said so’ comment, contrary to what we practice.
Just write down any questions that you may have and I will get back to you in a jiffy!
