Who is First in your life? In the first and last analysis – who’s #1. And when you look at your behavior… does that support, reinforce who’s first, or call your words into account? How would anyone know what and who is your First? “Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, […]
I have responded to this ‘question’ before but the question of questions keeps arising. WHY do I ask so many questions? Actually, I think knowing how to ask questions and to build on the answer is one of the more important skills to learn. Also, it has been my mode of teaching and there are
Do you appreciate this? That. for Christians. there is always a line that isn’t, can’t, shouldn’t be crossed. If you are a Christian, then the Lord has principles and standards that are not to be compromised. equivocated, or swept under the carpet, ‘modernized’, ‘updated’, whitewashed, or ignored.

Being blindsided… happen to you? I suspect we all get blindsided at times… by ourselves as well as by others and other types of ‘triggers’. To be perfectly clear – being ‘surprised’ is not the same as being blindsided. Blindsided is always unbidden, unexpected, and not wanted. Sometimes it takes our breath away, sometimes it
I think we all face at least one ‘unbearable’ in our lives. Actually, we probably experience many unbearables. Some of us feel like we have far more than our fair share.
