  This title comes from a friend who was relating his ‘philosophy’. He has a habit that he employs each morning (how his title relates his habit, I have no idea). Paraphrasing and with apologies to Erv – my understanding… each morning as he sets out for work, he rolls the window of his car […]

  Sometimes casting away, off is what we need to do and sometimes we need to hold tight. Example from Hebrews 10:35 – “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” This is an example of a quality, attitude to NOT cast away. Confidence is not something you want to eliminate from your foundation.

  Which describes your basic style? Are you a player? Or a sideliner, substitute? This is not a value classification, it’s more of a question on personal style determination. Some people are players, involved with their lives – they take destiny and pursue it. Others are more of the sideline or substitute player types that

  When you think about it for only a moment you must admit that there is a great deal of darkness in our world. Everywhere we read (or see) that there is violence – people physically hurting one another and then there are the untold acts of psychological violence. The ‘news’ that’s reported reminds one

  Have you ever wondered if we put the accent on the wrong sy-lla-ble? Do we over focus on us, me, I? Of course we do! Our mindset, our frame of reference, our needs and wants, our understanding… all that begins with us/me/I. But while we are the focus from which we react and interact

  I could have said, ‘application’ but since I write about applying what you know as often as I do, I thought I’d state it slightly differently. Webster: “…an act of putting to use; a use to which something is put”. Obviously, not a particularly enlightening definition, but accurate. But I would suggest that the

  Have you noticed that with the Lord, if He said it then He will do it. No worries. No questions… it’s a done deal. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have our role, our responsibility but if He said it He will do it – period. However, do we act on this assurance? Not

  You, I, we all matter. Every day – who we are, how we go about being us, it matters. We do not have the right to diminish ourselves – remember that we have been bought and brought into freedom and should never betray that cost. Should I repeat this? WE do not have the
