Rain Precedes
Life is like hiking in the mountains trying to do photography. Rarely does it all go as planned. Often, it’s a struggle to find our way to the great shot.
Paradoxically, rain and storms often bring the most dramatic skies related to photography. That applies to life in general.
Where God Guides
Andrew Word’s song, Unfailing sets the stage for today’s post and video. I hope you find it soothing and encouraging in your own life today.
The Costs of Compromise
Compromises always come with a cost. Sometimes we navigate our choices taking into consideration these costs. Owning a business is a never ending stream of cost versus return analyses and compromising is part of that. Both in customer as well as employee relations. Today, however, I want to talk a little about the costs of compromising our core beliefs along with my view of what that looks like and how bad choices have tainted my life.
Life Hurts
Storms loom and I get angry whenever trouble and pain come. I hate it when God allows things that I don’t understand.
It’s difficult for me at times to trust, believe and even have a good attitude about this. This was my thoughts this morning in reading Psalm 71.
I hate it when I am made to suffer and deal with things not going my way. I never learned well how to control my temper when life refused to go my way as a kid. Still to this day at 54 it haunts me. When life is painful, it pisses me right the hell off. I think what angers me most is knowing God allows it. HE ALLOWS it. Perhaps I need to Roll with the Changes.
He’s Interested
Boy, when God speaks, he knows just how to time it. Today, let me share what was not a small thing from my life yesterday as I sat down to do my bible study.
For me, it again, at a pivotal moment shows in a small whisper of a word just how much the Lord cares for me (and for you).
Life Span vs Health Span
I’ve recently learned the term “health span”. I’d like to share with you some of what it has taught me.
SO - MUCH - STUFF
We all have so much stuff. So much stuff our garages and basements are overflowing.
I wonder if we realize the amount of stress all this stuff puts on us as humans?
A New House
Well, we found the traveling home we are planning to live from once the house sells. Here’s a little bit about it.
Difficulty Is Your Friend
Romans 8:35-37 says
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. “
What a great reminder that while we face difficulty, we can remind ourselves this is not the end of us. We are being put through the challenge for a reason. I’d like to share a few thoughts on it with you.
