Just me trying to be honest with God.

“My sin was no match for His love.” Meme

I smile with gratitude because, though my sins are many, my Father is not counting them against me. I can stop keeping count, because He has. My sins may be ever before me, but they do not stand between us. His “grace that is greater than all my sins.”

“Go simple. Go small. Go now.” Lynn and Larry Party (small boat sailing)

If we consider doing something, there are times when we should just do it and do it now. The best chance to get it done is to act on it without delay. Wisdom encourages us to live lite, and prune everything that hinders starting right away.

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” William A. Ward

 When I express gratitude, I want it to be with my actions, not just my words. When I take stock of God’s blessings over my resources I can give generously to others in need. I can also use my time and talents to advance the cause of His love in the world. Lord grant that I make a point to do this every single day so that when I give thanks you will know that I mean it.

"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. 

“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts Sep 14, 2026



"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.
