Just a Mist
We are but a mist and a breath. We have so little time to live out our purposes here on earth, yet we consume ourselves with worry, work, and “planning for retirement”, that golden day we finally start to live life like what we want to.
How silly I find this ideal set up in America for life.
Be Careful For What You Ask
Most of the misery in my life was self imposed. Yes, there were at times other’s involved.
However, if I really take time to study what and how the “bad things” happened to me that have, at the root is me. Rob. Doing what Rob wanted to do trying to make it seem like it was doing the “Lord’s will”.
It wasn’t. It was me, doing what I wanted to do, the way I wanted to do it, and then telling myself It was all The Lord.
Do you know anyone going through the same thing?
I’ll tell you, the havoc we can bring upon our lives is, at times, overwhelming.
But, we can always change and find our way. God is always willing to say, I got your back, now that you really want to turn it around.
A Friend and Her Pain
At dinner last night, Joelle and I sat with friends. Beth and Amy are sisters with whom I have been friends since high school.
Beth shared with us a recent heartache with which she’s now dealing and it’s a scary time for her.
I wanted to share with you some of our discussion and also some encouragement today from Psalm 107. I hope it helps comfort you.
Boy That HURTS!
Relationships must be built around total and full transparency and honesty. Far too often in the West, they are shrouded in little lies or built upon dishonesty and deceit.
Nothing too serious, but little white lies that over time build unrealistic expectations and leave desires from both parties unfulfilled.
Often, it’s years and years down the road these unmet needs or expectations create serious relationship hardship. I wanted to share my thoughts on a remedy with you today.
A Bucket
It’s officially launched. Our 2023 Autumn Ambience video. The video linked in this post is nearly 3 hours of stunning fall color footage as taken by me last season. I hope as you stream this video to your TV or computer screen you are blessed and inspired in your own life. Thanks for being part of this family!
Faith 104
I found myself in Psalm 104 today and was reminded of how magnificent it is to be in the far out places in America to embrace God’s magnificent creative capability.
This then brought me to thoughts of how lacking in Faith in Him causes man (you and me) to do and believe some pretty silly things, not the least of which is the so called “Climate Crisis” we are now having.
I thought it appropriate then to dissect this train of thinking through the lens of God’s power in his word.
Let’s Talk Faith
Yeah, avoiding the calling on our lives is never a good idea. Today, I am going to address this problem in my life. Maybe if you’re like me, it affects you as well.
Uncertainty and It’s Solution
Today there’s a lot of uncertainty swimming around my life and in my head. I simply can’t determine the right course of action. This is more a rant and a writing of my thoughts than anything else today.
