Do you have someone to share with, to ‘talk things out’? I would contend that everyone needs a sympathetic but honest ear or sounding board, or ‘confidant’. We really aren’t created to be in isolation, rather, to be in contact. This is important to our soul. Do you know who this valuable and necessary ‘other’ is […]
Have you ever felt like a kid peering through the window of the candy store looking at all the things available… but not for you? Sadly, there’s absolutely no way that you can conceive of that would allow you entrance. What do you do? Sadly walk away? Pout? Bang your head against the door? Try

Our experiences mark us. HOW we ‘handle’ these experiences indelibly determines our character. Both can be changed, reversed, built upon, and/or developed. I always find it fascinating how the same experience can be viewed in so many different ways dependent upon our individual history. And I believe that what we do with the learnings from
Don’t want to appear too accusatory… but, is your relationship with the Lord primarily one of you turning to Him when you have a crisis? If so, then you are severely limiting the kind of relationship you can have with Him. Scripture tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord. (Psalms 37) Verses 4-6 “Delight

This was a wonderful gospel song from years ago. Recently I was watching a special of some of the older artists and songs that use to be heard back in the 80’s and before. Not that the current ones aren’t good, it’s just that those spoke such volumes to me since that was the time

Contrary to logic, when it is the Lord forgiving us, our acceptance of the offered forgiveness is NOT an easy thing. We rehearse and rehearse, continuing to seek the Lord’s forgiveness from something He has thrown into the fiery pit. So why do we keep bring it up? Not trusting that we really are forgiven? Feeling

I find it a constant amazement that whenever I turn to the Lord – there He is! And He always has time… for ME. I know He said that He would never leave me or forsake me… but it is also true! Amazing! Regardless of time or any other factor – He always has time.

They happen, don’t they? And they don’t always give a warning. Actually, I would argue that we’re living in them right now. It seems that no one learns from history since we seem to be repeating it so often. What can you do since you’re only one person and aren’t in any place of influence?!
