Just me trying to be honest with God.

Wake to God's presence wherever you are.

Some people have told me that they experience God more sitting in the forest by a waterfall than they do sitting in a church service. According to Jesus, God can be experienced anywhere and anytime we wake to Him in Spirit and truth. Sit with God in nature. Sit with God in church. Just be sure to sit with Him. 

“God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 11/8/25



“Forever is composed of nows.” Emily Dickinson

It matters little to think about living forever if I am not living life now. As a Christian I am excited at the prospect of life without end, but eternal life doesn't begin when we die, it is connected to this moment. It is not only the quantity, but the quality of the quantity that matters. It is one thing to merely exist, it is another to really live.

“Whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 11/7/25



Focus on fixing it, rather than wasting energy being frustrated by it.

Wisdom inclines us to work, not worry. Fix your eyes on your next wise choice. Nurture action, but remember that the goal isn’t just to get things done, but to get the right things done. Assemble the tools needed and get down to it. 

“In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.” Prov.13 “Conversations Within” ts 11/7/25

“That which I would not, that do I do. I wish I wouldn't do it, but I’m already through.” meme

I set out every day trying to do something I know is impossible for me to do. Experience has taught me that no matter how hard I try, I will still fall short. My sin is ever before me. Even though we know we will fail, Christ creates in His own a persistent desire to “go and sin no more.”

"Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord!"  Rom.7 “Conversations Within” ts 11/6/25



“I may give out, but I don't give up.” Mr Overton 109 years old

When you fall down, get back up. Get back up, every time. When you die, die with your nose pointed east and your eyes fixed on the sunrise.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Gal.6:9 “Conversations Within” ts 11/4/25
