Let’s be honest. We sometimes surprise ourselves at how we react, which can be ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Sometimes our reaction demonstrates grace and other times you’d rather forget what you did/said. Also, there are times we are surprised at a reaction from someone else that seems totally ‘out of character’ with who we think they […]
Explain to me, if you can, why we always seem to focus on what we don’t have rather than what we do! Silly really. When we do this we don’t maximize what we have, only moan about what we don’t. And that gets us even further behind/removed from what we should be seeing and doing. Yes, our
Seriously… who chooses, consciously, their life? Do you? Is Fate the ‘chooser’? And you can add as many other ‘determiners’ as you like. Is it ever…Your choice? What’s important is the answer? Who makes your life decisions? I suspect most of us would like to believe that we have the final say… the final determination. But… do we?
I tend to think in terms of… ‘ it ain’t over until the fat lady sings’. In my world of definitions – tenacious. But what happens when she has and it is the worse case scenario? As much as we think we may have planned for the worse case possible (and everything in between)… we rarely do.

Whether it’s STORMS or storms, what does a panic response get you? Panic, too often, is the common initial reaction… but we don’t need to continue in that vein. Truly, panic doesn’t accomplish anything. Remember the story in Matthew when Jesus and the disciples were in a boat crossing the sea: “When He got into
The first question is … who set your boundaries? You? Circumstances? “Life”? Did you give this power and authority to someone else to make those determinations for/over you? Why? Did you simply stop because you didn’t know? You can know and understand them… you don’t need to walk in ignorance or error. Scripture has clearly

Is this what you are seeking? Hunting for an escape from what is… or a rescue… or some refuge, even temporary? I would contend that this is the state all of us find ourselves in from time to time. So what answer for ourselves have we discovered? Or… do we try and stiff upper lip

What is ‘good’? Do you have a definition or is it ‘intuitive’? How does ‘good’ feel? Does it inspire you? Is it only a feeling? Do you search for good? Or better? Or best? Do you try to be good? Scripture tells us that there is no one who is good, except the Father. “There is none
