Is The Worst About You The Truth About You?
There is so much hardship and hurt in the world. No doubt. As a result, our perspective of the world and how we view people and even ourselves is greatly impacted. For example, do we believe the best about someone is the truth about them, or rather, do we believe the worst about someone is …

Wildly Wonderful
Psalm 104 praises the wildly wonderful world God has created and the enjoyment He receives from His creation. God enjoys us. He loves us. After all, He created us. And the Psalmist wisely reminds us to remember all the wonders He has made. To keep our eyes open for Him, watching for His works, and …
Along The Way…
We go along our way, and life happens. We face bullies, brokenness, burdens, as well as blessings, bounty, and beauty. Many things can result from all this. We can grow bitter, hardened, selfish, and angry, as well as compassionate, caring, softened, and kind. Some go one way, some the other, but most of us probably …
Celebration Of Life
Life can be hard, challenging, disappointing, painful, cruel, and down right depressing. Life can also be beautiful, adventurous, joyful, calm, invigorating, kind, and bountiful. Life can be and is all of these things. It’s a chaotic mixture at times that can sway from one extreme to the other. Yet, in it all, one of the …

We are often reminded in God’s Word that the heart is the wellspring of life. It’s where living waters flow. It’s where “God resides”. It’s made new and good in Christ. A good heart makes us cheerful, and spreads life. As such, the condition of our heart is most serious. Yet, how often do we …

The Good Life
We all want the good life, and have our own definitions and ideas to all that means. For me, the good life is truly enjoying the best of Jesus, choosing love, and making sure every good thing is the real thing. For all good things come from God, He is goodness, and every good thing …
Ghost Of Christmas Present
I recently rewatched Dickens’ Christmas Carol, and was reminded to the powerful message the ghost of Christmas present brings to Scrooge. He brings the inherent dangers of “Ignorance and Wanting”, as well as the powerful benefits to “Generosity and Good Will” in our present moments. He even has a message for “Christians” as he explains, …
Relearning Good Play
In Romans, we are reminded to live a life of goodness, peace, and joy - to aim for harmony and to try and build others up, as we live overflowing with confident hope. God enjoys us, and smiles as we smile. How often do we enjoy Him and allow ourselves to enjoy all the good …
Relief In Living
I love the Message translation of Luke 8:48. Jesus says to the woman who reaches out to touch his garment, “you took a risk trusting me, and now you’re healed and whole. Live well, and live blessed!” Trusting Jesus is such a powerful move and essential to living a whole and blessed life. It also …
