A poem based on I John 3:19=21 The tempter whispers in my heart You sure you even made a start? You never do the things you should, You never do what Jesus would! You are a mess! A hopeless case! The very worst of Adam’s race! Yes, in God’s race, no point to run, Just […]
PHILEO friend of God
God, I know you love me Because your name is love. And, in your love, you acted and left your home above. Your blood poured out to cleanse me and make me pure within. You are the greatest giver, gave me freedom from my sin. When I was still your enemy you chased me down […]
BE RADICALLY PRACTICAL
PRACTICAL means acting as if truth is true! 2 Peter 3 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall […]
A POSITIVE SPIN
We have all heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” As people of faith, this actually makes sense. The world wants me to take God’s gifts for granted, find fault with my reality, compare with the illusion of other’s reality and wish my reality would just magically change. / Faith suggests that […]
Someone points out that worry can take over and have no clear trigger, be there all the time and even become “comfortable” or at least familiar ..

Dealing With Anxiety
As with most emotional disorders, the symptom is not the problem. It is good for our brains to constantly watch for danger in seemingly trivial circumstances. Danger does not always announce itself loudly! However, usually, most of us analyze the danger and, if it is nothing, turn it off even before our frontal lobes are […]
Look for a Missing Step in Letting Go I had hoped to retire to my farm property but all my children left the area and my wife is too ill to live in the middle of nowhere. So I figured that I should sell the farm but it needs cleaning up to get it ready […]
MORE PASSION, LORD, PLEASE!
The whole world is rushing to get rid of passion. They think that if they get rid of anxiety, anger, sadness, desire, burdens, goals, fear etc. Then they will be happy. NO! They will be the living dead. They crush out any real life filling passion with alcohol, TV, videos, video games, food, sports, pot, […]
SELF-CHECK for healthy living
If I love God and live in unhealthy ways, will he cover for my poor choices and let me live long and well? NO! One of the basic principles of life is: That which a man sows–that will he reap. If anyone could break this rule, it would make a fool of God. Good luck […]
