Just me trying to be honest with God.

“When one bases his life on principle, 99 percent of his decisions are already made.” Author Unknown

I want only one key to open the door of my heart, one principle to govern my thoughts and actions. Does it mirror the dynamic of the love of Christ?

I want to be able to say that if you want proof of the resurrection of Jesus, just look at my life.

 Does my life give evidence of the resurrection of Christ? I may not have been an eye witness, but I am a witness none-the-less. The manner in which I live, the values I espouse, my words, and actions either attest or deny that the living Christ lives in me or not.

“When God has led you through the sea, everything else is a mere creek crossing.” Andy Stanley

A tour guide was leading and speaking about an historical event that had taken place in the Holy Land. What impressed one person on the tour is that he spoke of what happened in the first person as though he himself was personally there. This is the connection every child of God should have when speaking of the Red Sea crossing. Think about it!

“For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea..” 1Cor.10 Conversations Within” ts 5/2726





“Try to draw a circle so huge that there is no way we can finish it while we are alive. Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara

Live with divine purpose, and you will need to live forever to accomplish it. The good news is that God will accommodate such a life with all that is needed.

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” Phil.3.12 Conversations Within” ts 5/26/26



One key to a healthy relationship is to love someone on the days you don’t like them.

I can make peace with the fact that I do not always like someone as long as it does not interfere with loving them. Liking is a feeling. Loving is an action. 

“Love never fails.” 1Cor.13 Conversations Within” ts 5/25/26
