We obsess over our purpose. Are we supposed to do this or that? What is my gift to the world? What is my talent? Am I supposed to teach or preach? How will I know what I’m supposed to do, who I’m supposed to be? Just stop. Stop asking the questions. Your purpose is to … Continue reading Purpose and Gifts

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.

Think in the natural sense, how bulbs are cut and multiplied. These plants become resistant to all kinds … Continue reading Resistant
Rest
Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day. That’s a true statement. Too often we all dwell on everything that is going wrong, but if you’re reading this, then something is going right. GOD didn’t rest until HIs work was finished. HE stepped back and saw that “everything was … Continue reading Rest
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
Zoom…Out
We like to see growth. We see it in nature as the trees get taller each year. Our crops grow before our eyes. As do our children. In business, we see expansions and financial growth. Our coworkers move up the ladder or on to bigger and better things. We move up, too. Or we change … Continue reading Zoom…Out
