I wonder… do we really understand hope? Do we have a viable and active definition of the word? Do we act in hope? Or… is it the last step after having done everything we know… we hope? That’s not a particular strong or effective foundation. However, it is NOT an effectual word with no power. […]

I used to not believe in failure primarily because of how the word was defined and applied and ALL the emotions that surround this word. Now I think I’ve gain a different perspective and understanding on how the word should be defined and applied. Failure really isn’t only defined by the level (or lack) of
‘The mind is the devil’s playground.’ Who said that?! And yet everyone, saved or not, holds to this belief. And no, it’s not in scripture. The closest is in Proverbs 16:27 “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.” [TLB] But if you read this same verse in other translations, you won’t

If the lesson seems familiar… it probably is. But don’t, in haste, feel like you’ve ‘done this’ so it’s not important. Truly, that’s the wrong attitude. Maybe it is a relearn – because you missed something the first time? Or…it may be a deeper level of learning, understanding, and/or application? Sometimes it’s a case of
Not particular excited about the title, but I’m back… it’s been an interesting 2 month journey. I’ll share some of my experiences and learnings in future posts, but how… What’s next! Not a question… a statement. (Somehow I think that 2023, the start of a new year and the end of my hiatus, begins on

It is an ‘attribute’ of us all, regardless of ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status or any other way we seem to like to describe ourselves as different from the person standing next to us. All, we ALL. are drawn to instantaneous. We
This is another of my why, oh why’s. I probably can write an entire book on ‘Why’s?’. “For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human

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.
Do you? Do you listen to what you say (and how you say it)? For a moment, can you put yourself in the position of being the hearer – how the hearer would hear what you are saying? Are you lucid? Are you relevant? Are you only speaking to hear yourself speak? What are you
