  Why is it everyone, and I do mean everyone, always seeks to place blame?! It’s her fault, or his, or theirs, and even inanimate things don’t escape – didn’t have enough time, money, people, etc. Whenever there is the possibility of negative consequences, immediately most people starting looking for someone/something to indicate as the […]

  Doubt is and it is insidious. We all face it… or try and run from it, but it’s always hovering if it isn’t present in some form of strength. What do we do with doubt? Actually… what IS doubt? Webster says that doubt is: “uncertainty of belief or opinion that often interferes with decision-making.”

  Honestly… this isn’t necessarily all bad. Sometimes you have to do ‘things’ to shake up your life – not a lot, just a little to clear the cobwebs. Because – ruts are disastrous. And if you find yourself in one, I personally believe it’s critical to shake things up or you won’t see what’s

  Do you feel that you are not in step with those around you? It’s far more than walking around in a partial daze of nostalgia or wishing for the ‘good old days’ or any other mild reaction to the vagaries of life. This is far deeper. You not only feel but know that you are

  Do you do this? Absolutely… we all do! The ‘why’ we do this varies with both the person and the particular situation. We can so quickly get into a ‘can’t’ or ‘I’m not worthy’ or ‘surely not’ mindset. This really is a lack of trust in the Potter. Somehow, regardless of our previous experience, we don’t

  What are yours like? Mixed message? Terse, to the point of sparing detail so it’s impossible to really have a sense of the communication? Detailed, to the point that so much information is given that the thread is lost? Clear and concise with sufficient information that the salient questions can be asked and answered?

    How do you do your Christianity? Are you a Sunday morning Christian only… relegating your time with God to those few hours on a Sunday morning? Or maybe your Christianity is more extensive – involving Sunday night and/or Wednesday night? The point that I’m making is that if you aren’t a 24/7 Christian what

  Really? Was it? Or was ‘then’ when you were much younger and ‘now’ when you are an adult and must be responsible and make the ‘hard’ decisions? ‘A Simpler Time’ can be described in a variety of ways dependent upon the individual, but I think that a universal – substantially less stress – would be one

   Advice giving or seeking is really a tricky issue. I really hate asking for advice because if I do then I must be open to the possibility of an opinion opposite to what I think. In asking for advice one really isn’t asking for approval or acceptance, nor for agreement, though it may be partially the

 That may be a bit strong, a ‘loaded’ word. Probably I should have said, intended audience.  As a child I remember listening to sermons in church but that it always seem that the minister was speaking to those not attending rather than to those present. I think I somewhat resented that but I know I thought that
