Just me trying to be honest with God.

We are loved!

The average person has over 100,000 hairs on their head. It is humbling to know that Our Father in Heaven keeps track of the exact number. I should never doubt the Lord’s attentive care. Time and time again Jesus, with unparalleled authority, gave us the assurance of just how much attention God gives to each and everyone of us.

“But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/14/26



The truth is we often give some kind of lip service to heaven, but then give our energies and tragically our hearts to earth.

 Lord wean me off the temporal, that I may drink deeply all that is eternal. Help me this day to see your Kingdom come, if only in my own heart, and actions. Deliver me first from the evil in my own selfish thoughts. Wake me to that eternal life You intend for us all. 

“I have come that you might have life, abundant life.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/12/26



“Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.” Jonathan Edwards

Any grace that comes to us in this life is intended, at least in one sense, to prepare us to live in the next. This in no way diminishes our present life; it redeems it. God's enabling power helps us experience life in the here and now as one expression of the glory to come. 

“Set your affections on things above.” Col.3 “Conversations Within” ts 3/11/26



"It is a happy talent to know how to play." Emerson

Right now, someone is sitting on a surfboard, eyes to the horizon, waiting with delight to catch yet another wave. No doubt play is the natural state that God desires for His children. He delights to hear us play in the streets. What parent doesn't find joy watching their children celebrating life?

“The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.” Zech.8.5 “Conversations Within” ts 3/9/26



Do it anyway!

When we know the goodness of an action, but we don’t feel like doing it, that is precisely when we should. Since when did feeling like it, enter into a commitment to do what is good? Let your feelings follow your decisions, but never lead them.

“Love endures all things.” 1Cor.13 “Conversations Within” ts 3/4/26
