  I don’t know about you but I’m a sucker for ‘happily ever after’ stories. They always give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Are they possible? Does happily ever after even exist? Don’t you want to believe in ‘happily ever after’? How do you know when happily ever after occurs? WHERE is happily ever […]

  I have said in countless ways, countless times that it is what we believe, how we think, what we feel that is demonstrated in our behavior, our actions – a simple formula. So why am I beating a dead horse? Probably because I don’t think you can say it enough. It is so fundamental, so

  Do you? Or do you focus on your needs, wants, situation, etc.? Do you ever count your blessings? There was a song, actually three but I’m referring to Irving Berlin’s, called “Count Your Blessings” that became a huge ‘hit’ in 1954. It calls on us, especially in the difficult times, to remember our blessings

  Do you realize just how delightful those two words are?! Translated into attitudes those words make life a truly marvelous adventure. And what do these words cost you? Absolutely nothing. Which only adds to their splend-ness. What does surprise and wonder ‘look’ like? All you need do is to look into the face of

  Talk about misconception!!! This is probably the most misunderstood word and concept in the history of mankind – including (especially?) the Christian world.

In my world of definitions, ‘voice’ has

  I would suggest that the Church world would consider themselves as inoffensive, acceptable to the world. That we try to be tolerant of all and inclusive of all. The church has/does bend over backwards … to what end? I was musing about how Paul would react to who/what the church is today. I suspect he

  Do you ever find yourself asking this question? Perhaps frustrated. Perhaps confused. But definitely needing an answer. And not just any old answer or someone else’s answer – your answer! Of course you’ve been in this quandary… probably multiple times. But the real question is – did you find your answer? Or at least

  These two words are not necessarily incompatible but we can use wanting ‘facts’ as an excuse. I believe we have a choice to live by facts or to live by faith. And yes, that is a somewhat simplistic view… or is it? Do you live only according to the ‘facts’ or do you live according

  I think that my biggest criticism of most of ‘education’ is that it seems to have no relevance  to most people’s lives. Or rather that the application to one’s life is not taught. My contention would be that though there is ‘education for education sake’ there is also a huge need for putting what is
