Just me trying to be honest with God.

"Every tomorrow has two handles. You can take hold of the handle of anxiety or the handle of enthusiasm." Unknown

 There is a lot to be said about pressing on toward a goal. And, while it is important to do so on days where one does not feel like it, it is equally important to keep a positive attitude. doing so works the muscles of faith with gratitude. Enduring and positively enduring makes it a twofer where character is concerned. 

“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 Conversations Within” ts 6/18/26



“What’s in a name?” William Shakespeare

If I pray and ask God to do something in the name of Jesus, would Jesus proudly represent my prayer to His Father. Jesus told us to pray that God’s name be set apart above everything. He calls on us to call upon His name, to live our lives under His values and His deliverance.

“I can’t, but I know a guy.” Tee Shirt

According to the Good Book, everybody falls short. Knowing this encourages us to consider that energy outside human effort is necessary if we are to experience the life God intends. Call out! The lifeguard awaits and will always answer our cry for help. 

“Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Ps.50 Conversations Within” ts 6/16/26




“Have you made the wonderful discovery of the Spirit filled life?” Bill Bright

Life is the Spirit is not about a religion, but a relationship and partnership with God through the abiding presence of Christ living in the soul. It is the vital connection that enables us to walk in The Way of Jesus experiencing and spreading His love to all Creation.

“Be filled with the Spirit.” Eph.5.18 Conversations Within” ts 6/15/26



Wisdom knows the difference between procrastinating and prioritizing.

Life in the Spirit is life indeed. Walking in the way of Jesus teaches us the value of slowing down, and giving our attention to what really matters, rather than to all the urgent, but trivial demands of modern life.

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.” Jesus  Conversations Within” ts 6/13/26
