Just me trying to be honest with God.

“No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. But any amount of gratitude changes the present.” Ann Voskamp

 Actually anxiety can change our future by negatively impacting our health. What I do now will certainly follow me. Make sure what follows is only goodness, and moves you to gratitude.

“A joyful heart is good like medicine.” Prov.17.22 “Conversations Within” ts 5/20/25



”In a world where you can be anything, be kind!” Meme

Patience and kindness always exemplifies the love of Jesus. Always means always. In hostility, or disagreement, or anger we can always choose to follow His manner of living and loving. 

Love is patient, love is kind.” 1Cor.13 “Conversations Within” ts 5/19/25




The demands of love

Mutual love can only exist in the air of freedom. The only demands that love will make, are always on oneself. True love gives freedom to others to love in return, or not. Such love is unconditional, and willing to suffer and sacrifice when necessary. 

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 5/19/25




Are you listening?

How can I become a better listener? Well, if my mouth is moving, I am not listening. If I am thinking about my response while someone is talking, I am not listening. If I am not giving people my full attention, I am not listening. To listen better, listen deliberately.

“If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.” Prov.18 “Conversations Within” ts 5/19/25



“Seek first to understand; then to be understood.” Stephen Covey

What better way to gain a new perspective on living than to be a good listener. Everyone has something to offer and listening is the key to learning. It has been observed by many that God did give us two ears and one mouth.

“Be quick to listen and slow to speak...” James 1 “Conversations Within” ts 5/18/25
