Just me trying to be honest with God.

“To wake up each morning is a precious privilege—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” Marcus Aurelius

 The threads of my life began in the Weaver's mind before I was conceived in my mother’s womb. How precious His works, how precious is life. Every thread, every moment, of my life is not only known to Him, but purposefully designed so that I might experience His glory--His infinite value.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Ps.113 Conversations Within” ts Sep 23, 2026



Save your fork!

We use the expression “Save your fork” at the dinner table to announce that “something good is yet to come.” When we sit “God’s right hand” we sit in His favor where blessings abound, and dessert is always served at His table.

”It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us. C. S. Lewis

 I want my desires for lasting joy to remain center stage when I choose. I often trade it away for lesser pleasures only to find that what I get in return doesn’t satisfy. I know the grace is there, and why I do not use it baffles me. What is there to do but to start again.

“The goal is to die with memories not dreams.” Meme

I have so many rich memories. The places I have been, the experiences I have shared with family and friends all overwhelm me. I see a photo and I try to remember being there, to slow it down and take more of it in. My hope is that in all of it, God has been and will be glorified. Sharing life with Him has been, and continues to be my greatest adventure, and the enjoyment of my life.

“It is to my Father’s glory that you bear much fruit and show yourselves to be my disciples.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts Sep 20, 2026



Healthy and happy. Happy and healthy

When considering if something is wrong or right, we could simply ask if it is healthy or unhealthy? More often than not, whether I should do something is easily answered by asking, does it promote health in body, soul, and spirit or not? Of course the sure method is to ask if God condones it or not.
