 Thank heavens for Paul’s statement (Romans 7:15) about doing the things he didn’t want to and not doing what he did want. I can get so very irritated with me when I do what, primarily in retrospect, I really didn’t want to do/say. It’s like the words just spill out of your mouth before you have […]

  The beginning of a relationship may begin serendipitously, but the continuance is dependent upon the desires and willfulness, not just willingness, of those involved. Without continuous involvement by all, the relationship will atrophy. I know that the old saying says, “…that absence makes the heart grow fonder”, but does this really ‘work’, I suspect

  There is nothing quite so satisfying as personal discovery… at least that’s my thinking. And, I might add, these discoveries are locked into our memories more intimately. They defining who we are, sometimes with more detail than any other mode of learning. It doesn’t always need to be something ‘brand new’, it can be

Or is it more of a vague, ‘universally’ understood/accepted definition? Do you know what it looks like, can you tell from the behaviors from yourself or those you

  We all realize that our bodies need nourishment in order to live healthy. No one wants to be ill and many of us know what foods are good for us and those that have little or no nutritional value. The problem is that it is those foods that have little or no value that

  What or Who limits you…? By limit, I’m talking about who you are, what you do, and how you go about expressing your who and what. Question: what is the type and source of their power to be the definer of your limits and who you are? How did they attain this power… through
