Part 1 Hurt I read (or heard) a phrase that really captured me. “Hurt people hurt people. Healed people heal people.” I have no idea who to credit this to but goodness, what a picture is painted. If you say that this is obvious and rather simple – I’m not so sure. Sometimes it is […]
but there’s more to the story.” Gosh I wish I had said that. What a great line!. To give you a context, the line is a combination from a little 3 year old girl and my friend, Cary, based on Peter Pan. However we can provide a spiritual connection. “The thief comes only in order

‘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

Personally, I’ve always loved these verses in Ephesians 6 (10-17). I always feel more empowered, enabled, equipped when I think on these verses. And what’s asked of me to be in this empowered/enabled/equipped position is all to my benefit – armor for protection and stand for action. “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw

Is this what you’re living? Is your life filled with joy? Perhaps I should ask if you have defined what ‘joy filled’ means for you. For me, it would be defined in terms of fruitful, meaning, purposed… and then I would have to define those words. Is a joy filled life a choice? Does every
Victim? … or Victor? I refuse to be a victim! But do I do what needs doing in order to be a Victor?! I think I’ve discovered that you can not be a victim but you aren’t acting as a victor either. But why would we ever stop ourselves from being victorious… or is it

is not the same as a Zest for Living. A zest for life is far more impersonal, abstracted than a zest for living. The latter requires, demands an involvement. A zest for living invites you in and then consumes any pretense or falsifying of who you are. But then, that’s my romantic definition. However, it
