Reed In The Wind

I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he is! Matthew 11:11 ***              During bible study as we talked about faith, it became apparent to me what a great impact our environments make to our…

Hidden Things

I blinked and it’s already December.   It’s tempting to think about all the things that are still outstanding that I was hoping for for 2024, but I cannot take for granted that I have something that cannot be replaced: life. As long as I’m alive, there’s still hope, there’s still opportunity.  It sounds cheesy and …

Learn to Inquire

Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 1COR3:18 **             I was thinking of what to write for my last blog this month. I asked ChatGPT to help me with some blog prompts, and as I was going down the list, ther…

Language Lessons

Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things. /Flora Lewis/                                                                                                                        *** I’m amazed by people who can speak multiple langua…

Perspective

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Camille Pissarro I took my car to the dealership and I had a shuttle ride back to my chosen destination.     I asked the driver, a young-ish guy, if he has been working there long and if this is his main job. I felt his discom…

Like Before

We’ve been friends for a very long time. Part of me feels like we were a lot closer than we are now, and I’ve been saying that I would like us to be close again. I could lament how busy life is, and how there is so much to get done, but that’s an excuse. I could make time; but I’m afraid I’m splitting my time. There…

Satisfied

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”  – Steve Jobs ** It has been a good week. Productive, powerful, eye opening. Eye opening because I realized in real time that …

Something's Gotta Give

When you know something to be true, your actions reflect your belief.   I consider my walk with God and how challenging it is on a day-to-day basis. How challenging it is to practice even in the community of faith that I’m part of. I think people make this journey so much harder; but I also believe they make it…

If You Know, You Know

For the foolishness  of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness  of God is stronger than human strength. 1Cor1:25 *        Be grateful for the open door. Be grateful that you are able to walk through the door to possess your possession. It is a privilege that some have been for days and years been praying for…

Fight or Flight

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua1:9   **      I remember I was going through a hard time when I first began this blog. My life felt  meaningless; it felt as though I had built myself up only to have life utterly crus…

Seen

"People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident."  John C. Maxwell **       It being the end of the month I was hoping to have something insightful to write. Something aspirational. However, I’d li…
