A Better World Starts with You and Me
The pessimist grumbles, “I could make a better world than this.”But the optimist confidently sings, “Go for it! That’s why God put you here!” It’s true. We’re not here just to take up space. God placed us on this earth, in this time, to make a difference. And while we can’t do everything, we can…
I Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
You know those words: “I should have done that but”, “I would have been that but” or “I could have gone there but…..” Should — Would — Could are words I’ve determined to get out of my vocabulary this year because they represent the past and that past is behind me AND they represent hesitation…
Living Our Faith Out-Loud De-Compartmentalizing
When I blogged about compartmentalizing” our lives yesterday, I didn’t mean it for our faith. Our faith is an exception. You know — that “keeping it to ourselves” compartment. We’ve all heard the saying: “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” The idea is that when people go to Las Vegas, they get a license…

Your Word is a Lamp to my Feet
Oh how grateful I am when I sense “a word” to post, and then God sends His “atta girl” to me. For the last two days I’ve posted about disappointments, His appointments, set ups, set backs, perspective, etc. I just read today’s “Jesus Calling” and want to show you what I mean. Perhaps, if you’re…
The World is Your Oyster
Day 169 of Photo Inspiration – The World is Your Oyster That saying implies that the world is laid out before us like a plate of oysters needing only to be pried open to be enjoyed, perhaps with a pearl as a prize. It’s all the opportunities that await us when we take the limits…
It’s an Upside Down World!
Day 65 of Photo Inspirations — It’s an upside down world — well, at least from this vantage point it is. It’s all about perspective. And, this world can seem quite upside down — even when we’re right side up. What happened to the good old days when we could leave our doors unlocked,…
Acknowledging Him = Straight Paths
