“Be reconciled to God.” 2Cor.5
I have made many poor choices. Let me at least make that one grand choice to accept God's offer of forgiveness and reconciliation. He offers both you know, pardon and peace in one package. He does not, nor can not offer one without the other. To accept His forgiveness is to accept His rightful place in our lives and, our rightful place in His. Everything God would be to us is expressed in Jesus. Everything we would would be to Him is likewise found in Christ. Life is the sum of our choices but Christ can be the adjustment line that will bring all accounts back in the black and not just by fixing our stained record but our strained relationship as well. 3/25/2011 Conversations Within ts (Oak Mountain, AL)
Just me trying to be honest with God.

“When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice.” William James
“Choose you this day whom you will serve...” Josh. 24
Putting off important decisions usually translates into trouble. Indecision is after all, a kind of decision. I would think this is especially true when we neglect important matters that do not require an immediate commitment. Exercise is one; we can and often do put it off. Spending time with our spouse, our children or our friends is usually not pressing. Spiritual decisions are rarely urgent. But postponing a decision to attend to any of these will usually cause them to reach a kind of critical mass and the inevitable explosion that follows will make any decision after the fact, a mute one. Not deciding may inevitably and irreversibly decide for us. 3/24/2011 Conversations Within ts (Oak Mountain, AL)

“A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.” Rita Mae Brown
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3Jo.1 ESV
I do not trust emotional decisions. I do not mind if emotions accompany a decision but I do not want my feelings to be the main reason I decide to do something. Feelings can be and often are deceptive. When I decide something let me make my decision based on what is good, right and true not on some euphoric something or other in my gut. Actually to do something because it is right may even make me feel uncomfortable rather than euphoric because I may be owning up to a mistake. Peace may come later and when it comes let it be grounded in what is true not because I no longer have the pressure to make a choice. 3/23/2011 Conversations Within ts (Oak Mountain, AL)
