Our minds begin as a blank slates
each early morning we awake.
We have the opportunity to fill
it with all good stuff or
with the dark stuff of the previous
day or week.
While what is past might still
remain to be addressed today
it doesn’t mean it has to take up
a majority of our “mind space.”
Keep a small part for those […]
No one lives a life of ease
Even those with great wealth
can be vacant of friends
Finding a good friend is
a worthy endeavor indeed
Someone who allows you to be
who you are
and lets you let them be, too
Struggles in the world abound
It is the substance of “life”
It’s easier when you approach
it with a friend.
Be a friend to someone […]
Salt.
It’s a great curative,
though when rubbed in a wound
it burns terribly
but it heals
and kills infection
It also adds flavor
to food/sustenance
it improves the experience
of eating
The salt on the food
still helps heal
while it’s improving
the taste, result
Those that love God
have been considered to be
salt of the world
how we choose to use
this attribute
is up to us.
God is just fine
knowing
you have to have Him
to live a good life.
Shed your guilt,
and self condemnation
from when you can’t do
something on your own.
The breath of God flows through
the believer.
It can also flow through the
believer to another.
One way this can be is
by the spoken word.
God spoke creation into being.
Both the science of psychology
and quantum physics show
that we, too, have such power.
Cognitive behavior therapy
allows us to prove to our own selves
that by changing our thinking,
(what we tell ourselves)
we change […]
Who hasn’t come across someone
who writes things on their hand
to remember them?
Perhaps you do this yourself!
Often, it’s someone’s name,
so they won’t forget it.
It’s important.
Did you know that
God has your name
written on His hand?
You’re important to Him,
and He won’t forget you.
Silence can be golden.
Especially when the thought is to complain
Or when your words can bring only hurt
We all learned as children:
if you can’t say anything nice
don’t say anything at all.
Be in that quiet place today,
and allow the mean-spirited thoughts
flow on by as if on a log in a stream
and thereby preventing any harsh
words from […]
Recently there was a short discussion
about certain places that give us inspiration.
One of mine was my church building.
But it isn’t the building
- any building -
that really does that is it?
Perhaps it is the catalyst for the feelings
of inspiration
but moreso the spirit within each of us
that connects to what we are viewing
or where we are at […]
My favorite bird is also the State bird.
The mockingbird is pretty with a very long tail,
and mostly grey feathering, with white stripes on
it’s wings.
A regular sits on the peak of the neighbors roof
and sings it’s heart out each morning and again
at evening.
It’s loud enough for me to hear well enough and enjoy.
The mockingbird sings all […]
