Just me trying to be honest with God.

I don’t know as much as I think I know.

The information age is not as informative as I sometimes think it is. What do I really know about people, or current affairs? It is limited by what I have read or heard from others, and we all know how incomplete that is. If there is any wisdom, it is that I should reserve judgment, and attend to the little I do know.

“The same measure you use to judge others will be used to judge you.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 7/27/25



How do I know if something is a sin?

I think most people regard injurious actions to others as a sin, with a few exceptions such as self-defense. Does this mean that non injurious actions are not morally wrong. If what I do does not hurt anybody, is it a sin? For a Christian, sin is what God says. I think we overlook that what offends Him is the true understanding of sin.

“All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.” Rom.3.23 “Conversations Within” ts 7/27/25



Our focus determines a great deal.

If God is good, why do we sometimes have to remind ourselves that He is? I am reminded of the meme, “Some see the rose, others see the thorns.” Our focus determines a great deal. Abide in the light of His goodness. It will permeate the darkness and doubts of this world. 

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Psalms 34:8” “Conversations Within” ts 7/26/25



“Time is precious. Waste it wisely.”

Time unfolds from God’s hand.It is a precious gift that He shares existence with us. He embodies every moment, and invites us to do the same. Fill each moment with your whole being. Stretch out in it as in a bed with the softest sheets. Wrap yourself in the blanket of this moment.

“Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.” Eph.5.13 “Conversations Within” ts 7/25/25



Apolitical

Anything political leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The idea that someone is trying to package and sell me something immediately turns me off. I have found that true worth and value is apparent, even obvious. Once you have encountered the real deal everything else is just noise.

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 7/23/25
