Is change really good? … It can look from the outside like change is a bad thing. Actually, if it is something that brings us (or those around us) discomfort, the consensus is quickly to ‘please stop!’. It doesn’t feel good or at least, doesn’t feel right. Despite the feeling, we are designed for change. No …
When everyone else is doing good, let’s do bad. After all there’s room for it. Quite honestly, it’s not like anyone would notice. A little sideways glance here, a little noise over there, is not going to make a whole lot of difference in a “grace-filled” environment. In an environment where everyone is doing something …
True or false: “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!” It’s something we’ve all heard and possibly even said a time or two. This phrase is loaded with willpower isn’t it? But really, when it comes to willpower, which comes first? It has to be either will or power. Whenever …
“Every tub sits on it’s own bottom…”, that’s what the wife of a man affectionately referred to as “little claude robert” in his book, Grandma Stories used to say … often.

Reason: the mental powers concerned with forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences.. We often need “reason” for… everything. (Things occur, and then we understand them, and then we grow.) While we may not need a reason, for example, to buy something for our spouse, we do need a reason for… becoming a better spouse. What are the …
We are naturally small thinking beings. We tend to think that the world revolves around us, or people exist to serve us, or perhaps that something is set in motion because of us. Whatever the circumstance, it usually comes back to us. So when we set out to accomplish a goal or just do something …
And what’s good for one person may not be good for another. What is good anyway?… How does one measure goodness. When we think about what is ‘good’, is it that kind of goodness that extends outside of our moral definition? It would be a danger to think of goodness just inside the scope of …
Have you ever wondered where real vision comes from? What does it take for us to stay FOCUSED on the bigger picture. Is there a trick to this? Our vision comes from our sight… therefore it’s our sight that needs to be clear in order to really have vision. Vision in the literal sense is simply …
… That’s OK… but where is it leading us? Apathy, violence, lethargy, cruelty… or just plain unkindness towards others. Where does being angry really get us anyway?

What is your greatest desire? Not as in temptation…. but, desire? A desire is an expressed wish. A temptation is something that we don’t necessarily ask for, but tries to creep in anyway. God gives us the desires or “wants” of our hearts. This has two meanings. First, He not only puts them there (as in ‘give’), …
Have things not quite turned out as expected? We’ve all had these moments. The turning point of every one of them is always dependent upon our attitude…we all have one of these too!
