Just me trying to be honest with God.

"The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper". W.B. Yeats

 Live life from within. The body is passing, the soul is eternal. Wake to life in the Spirit, and give priority to all things spiritual. Never be a slave to the body, rather make the flesh the servant of the soul. Jesus would wake us to His reality.

"Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress." Mahatma Gandhi

Just because someone disagrees with my point of view does not mean that they hate me. Just because I disagree with someone else’s point of view does not mean that I hate them.

“Every man is a fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.” Elbert Hubbard

 I am reminded every day of two things, “I am a great sinner and Christ is a great savior.” I do not need to try and sin, it comes naturally. I have made my peace that the struggle will continue as long as I am in this place. I am also at peace knowing that forgiveness is always offered.

“A man should acknowledge his losses as gracefully as he celebrates his victories.” A Good Year

 There are times when we all lose in this life. Jesus assures us that losing our lives for His sake will become gain. I find great comfort in the knowledge that every sacrifice is met with an even greater reward. He speaks of course not about the rewards of hire, but the rewards that naturally follow love.

“whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts Sep 10, 2026



Just because I have the freedom to speak, doesn’t mean it is always beneficial that I do.

When I think about commenting on some current affairs, I am realizing more and more that it would not only be wiser, but better if I don’t. Why should I add to something that is already weighed down and divided by so many opinions?
