Just me trying to be honest with God.

“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.” C. S. Lewis

I read recently that statistically speaking, there is a 1 in 4 trillion chance that any of us came to exist at all. But, in the worldview of Jesus every single one of us was in God’s mind before the worlds were made. He even made a plan with His Father to cover our shortcomings.

“...He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.” Eph.1.4 “Conversations Within” ts 3/31/26

Get a grip… on yourself.

I deeply admire people who handle problems without letting problems handle them. The mature person doesn't get upset over things that cannot be changed, They calmly accept them and work through it. There are better ways to spend energy than stressing over such things.

“In your patience, possess your soul. “ Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/26/26



“Be kind. It’s not that hard.” Meme

Be one of those people who spread kindness everywhere you go. Life is beautiful when we do, and the world can use all it can get. The joy it brings to others will pale in comparison to the joy that it will bring to you. Jesus knows what He is talking about.

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/25/26



"I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right." Billy Graham

Once on a white water rafting trip with some friends, the sun was setting, the autumn leaves were turning, and I realized for the first time that I was playing the back nine. It was a profound and sobering moment for me. It was also one of those moments where I vividly recall hearing God speak to me. He gently whispered in my soul, “You’re going to live forever.”

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” Jesus  “Conversations Within” ts 3/25/26



Let me be inspired by Jesus’ sacrifice and trust Him, not remain weighed down by my sins which caused Him to make it.

 There is nothing I can add to my redemption. The price has been paid, there is nothing to add to this divine transaction. The books are balanced. I am free to rise up and follow Him in service to others.

“It is finished!” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/24/26
