Just me trying to be honest with God.

“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



A good ole fashioned foot-washing

When Jesus washed the feet of His disciples He was giving them a living illustration of what it means to love as He loved. He humbly served them. To love is to serve, not ceremoniously but practically. Copy Christ and look for ways to serve the people in your life.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 3/23/26



“There are tears that cleanse, tears that burn, and tears that drown. Each one tells a different story of the soul.” Unknown

 Tears are known to us all. How many times has God answered tears sown in faith with the harvest of goodness and joy. Holy week tells us the story that is underneath all redemptive stories. Sow your tears in hope.

“He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.” Ps.126.6 “Conversations Within” ts 3/22/26
