  How sad. I can’t think of anything worse than to wake up and discover that you have failed to try. Not failed in your goal, but failed to even try, the realization that you never tried to accomplish (fill in the blank). I really believe that failing to try is our response when we aren’t […]

    Early in my Christian walk I was taught that this scripture in Matthew 7:7 was directed to the Christian not the unbeliever. Someone who hasn’t made Jesus Lord won’t ask, seek or knock. Jesus continues this teaching when He says;     “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him 

  Blocking you? Do you think/know that you have/are facing stones in your life? Are they only irritating pebbles? Or blocking boulders? Or both? You do realize that pebbles can increase in size and become boulders if you don’t deal with them, yes? What do you do about them? Try to go around them because rarely can they be

  You do realize that there really is no such thing as the ‘little things’?  In the flush of (fill in the blank) whatever is part of what is happening is important. Too often we don’t appreciate that it is important or we downplay the subsequent ramifications. The point, bottom line is that Life and

  I would argue that one of the most insidious feeling/thinking anyone ever experiences is doubt. It can stop us from progressing and can arrest our attention without resolving anything. Doubt is rarely a positive force to understanding and can be totally misleading or misdirecting. When scripture warns us that our enemy (1 Peter 5:8)

  For the most part, I am a silver-linings type. I tend to be able to find a positive in most situations. This is NEVER a rose-colored glasses approach nor is it that I ignore the issues and problems, it’s that I try and find the positive so I have a solid platform on which
