First: this is not unusual. Second: what is ‘far’ and how do you define the word? Third:…when and how did it begin? Fourth: ‘feeling’? Whether you define this time as dessert or confusion, I believe we all experience those times when we don’t ‘sense’ the Lord’s presence in our lives. Regardless… He really is there, He […]

Do you know your answer? Whether to verify or discover your ‘what matters most’ look at your credit card and bank items. How you spend your money will tell you, regardless of your protestations, what really matters… because we do spend our ‘income’ according to these demands. If you bewail that this is not fair because

This is a revisit … of sorts. I wrote on this subject back when I was just beginning my blog, 2010. This topic has always been an attitude, mindset, way of interacting that I value, something I aspire to be my personal MO. I said: “It is the critical thinkers that press the boundaries of ‘conventional
“…for the gifts and the calling from God are irrevocable…” (Romans 11:29) “Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be unaware…” (1 Corinthians 12:1) Do you know what you believe about spiritual gifts?

We all have expectations in all parts of our lives. Whether or not you acknowledge this or feign ignorance, they exist. Sometimes they aren’t acknowledged because we don’t want to be disappointed if they aren’t accomplished. But ‘expectation’ does need defining since this word does have multiple applications. Simply, Webster defines the word by the
Perhaps the more important question is: to whom are you indebted? Are you trying to ‘pay it back’? Think about it… but not in financial terms. To whom do you ‘owe’ a debt? How does it make you feel to be indebted? Embarrassed? Irritated (at yourself… at the one you are in debt to)? Frustrated
Meaning? Is it the same as “foundational’? Webster: “… serving as, or being an essential part of, foundation or basis; basic; underlying; being an original or primary source; indispensable, primary…” Some of the suggested synonyms are: basic, elemental, essential, introductory, rudimental, underlying.This is like an onion… the more you peal back the more you
