“Eat the damn apple” Technically, it wasn’t said exactly that way, but the tone…wow! I heard words that weren’t intended…or said. But it got my attention… Isn’t that what we all need sometimes? We need someone to smack us upside the head and help us regain our focus. Not literally, of course, just in a … Continue reading Apples and Doors

Proof
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.” Matthew 12:38 (KJV) We look for signs everywhere telling us what to do, where to go, what to speak…we want proof we are going right. Proof is an interesting concept. Elisha spoke to the king and … Continue reading Proof
Impossible
“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.” 1 Kings 8:61 (KJV) This seems like an impossible task. And it is…but it is only impossible because we are mortals and prone to sin. Well, that and the fact … Continue reading Impossible
Clarity
Like a camera, we have the ability to zoom-in and focus on things in the distance. We can magnify the object in view and see the little details. We gain clarity in our picture. We can bring sights close where we can almost reach out and touch them. It seems so close, so large on … Continue reading Clarity
New Things
There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes that is a scary thought. To us, we have new experiences, we meet new people, we even take new paths…starting a new job can be a little frightening. Maybe we take the bus for the first time and we are alone in the journey; it’s totally new … Continue reading New Things
Rumors
"Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross." Proverbs 26:23 (KJV) Start a rumor and watch it spread. Those glass shards are almost impossible to eradicate...they find places to penetrate and cause all kinds of problems. People are drawn to the shiny pieces of gossip. Why, then, can’t we … Continue reading Rumors
A Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)So many times in my life I try to force things… I force relationships…I force deadlines… I force decisions… Conversations… Writing…and I know these things are forced and therefore fruitless. Nothing works on “my” time. I must … Continue reading A Time
Reactions
Your life may suck, but it’s your example that matters. Your life can go wrong in every way shape and form, but people are watching your reactions: they want to know how to react. People are always watching you. So yeah, you’re gonna have it bad and there are times that you’re not going to … Continue reading Reactions
Resistant
Roots of doubt and sin run deep. We can pull out the roots and clean up all the trash, but if we leave just one piece behind, that one piece is enough to start a new plant. Think in the natural sense, how bulbs are cut and multiplied. These plants become resistant to all kinds … Continue reading Resistant
Just Listen
I had a friend send me a video to watch and listen and then relate my thoughts and feelings about it. I started on a blank page to compose my reply… The page remains blank to this day. It’s not that I had no thoughts or nothing to say (believe me, I always have thoughts … Continue reading Just Listen
