Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Stupid is as stupid does.” Forest Gump

I wake up some mornings feeling really dumb about some of the stuff I do, and more often than I should. There are many things I do not like about myself, I am acquiring a new taste for how I want to live life. Thank you Lord Jesus, “The page is still turning. The ink isn’t dry.”

“Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.” Prov.12.1 Conversations Within” ts 7/7/26



“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” Elisabeth Elliot

I have unanswered questions, but can truthfully say that most if not all of them do not stress me.  I ask for daily bread each day, and when God chooses not to explain certain things to me, I take it that what I don’t understand I do not need in my present circumstances.

“Give us this day, our daily bread.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 7/6/26



“Gratitude bestows reverence… changing forever how we experience life and the world.” John Milton

I want to be grateful to You Lord. This is how I want to experience each day. When I eat, or drink, work, or play, grant in me a sincere appreciation for what You put on my plate, so that a grateful heart will govern every experience I share with You.

“Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.” 1Sam.12.24 Conversations Within” ts 7/1/26



“Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.” Jerry Bridges

Grace and grace alone defines my standing before God. I merit nothing, because any good I do is also due to His grace working in me. My sins are ever before me, but so too are His daily expressions of grace.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Eph.2 Conversations Within” ts 6/30/26



Don’t over think it!

Admitting I have tendencies toward overthinking a problem, is a good first step toward changing it. “Just do it” is more than a slogan. Wisdom is understanding but action matters most! Sometimes you just got to go for it. 

“Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.” Prov.6 Conversations Within” ts 6/29/26
