To choose to love will sometimes mean that we choose to be hurt by another, and then to overlook it. Love bears all things, and sometimes does so in silence.
“Love… does not seek its own…” 1Cor.13 “Conversations Within” ts 1/2/26
Just me trying to be honest with God.
Revisiting “It is what it is.”
One harsh reality that I need to face is that life is not always “what it is,” but it is what I have made it. Never discount personal responsibility.
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Gal.6.7 “Conversations Within” ts 12/31/25
On what can we agree?
A commitment to unity is not the same as a commitment to uniformity. The goal is not to see and do everything the same as others. The goal is to agree on what is truly good for us all, and to settle for nothing less than achieving it. Learn to appreciate different points of view.
“How can two walk together unless they agree?” Amos 3.3 “Conversations Within” ts 12/30/
From Lord of the Rings
PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way. GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
“I am the resurrection and the life…” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 12/29/25
Enjoy while you can. Endure when you must.
Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply endure. Get back up and keep going. It is when we don't feel like staying with it, that it is most important that we do.
“suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope" Rom.5. “Conversations Within” ts 12/27/25
