Easy – right? Just kidding. What do you do when you hate the person who did that to you? Forgive them? Are you serious? It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done – maybe you, too. We have counted the cost to us personally. We blame the other for never being able to get over it. […]
Does wealth guarantee happiness?
I remember seeing a short film in a training class one time. The topic was striving for more wealth. The two main characters were an extremely wealthy businessman who owned a new private jet and the other was one of the mechanics who worked at the private airport and serviced that plane. The scene that […]
Angel or Anger?
In times like these I find myself more frustrated by little things. Does that every happen to you? I can go from an Angel to and angry person quickly….like just replacing the last letter of angel with an “r”. I’m trying three approaches to changing that: 1. I am learning that we can’t always agree […]
Are you in the comfort zone?
Ahh, the comfort zone! That place of peace and familiarity. Where you are confident about what is happening. We are mostly not there now in our world with the fear being generated by the pandemic. We may be over it in the Northern Hemisphere but there is uncertainty over it heading toward the South Pole. […]
When minds lose their innate energy….
It’s difficult to see loved ones come down with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease because our minds control so much of our ability to function.

How would you complete the start of that sentence? For me – for a long time – the next words would have been “where I would always get what I want and everybody would be just like me.” Thank God that never happened! Can you imagine? Even though lots of bad things happened to me […]
Have some weeding to do?
Flowers are the prize in our gardens – growing taller and more beautiful as Spring and summer continue. But growing along with flowers are weeds – most of which are not very pretty. Weeding out these intruders is not very fun – but the results are! Often we need to do this in our lives. […]
Don’t wait until it’s too late
Psychiatrists say that the two things people who know they are about to die think about the most are having a right relationship with God and also with their family and close friends. Wouldn’t it make sense to not wait until your death bed to try to work that out? Raising children is the hardest […]
Find strength when you feel weak
Do you ever feel like the world is starting to crack a little around the edges? Like things are beginning to get out of your control? Where do we find strength to carry on and not give up? God spoke to Isaiah about this and he passed it on to anyone who would listen and […]
Knowledge or Truth?
God invented science. He didn’t call it that from the start. He created the cosmos and our planet – and he created us. Knowledge changes frequently as science discovers the mistakes it made in the past. But it is a steady path toward the truth. Truth, or reality, is what something really is – not […]
