Who Are We…

Who Are We…. When people are faced with a traumatic situation is when you find out a little more about who they are and where they stand. Are they someone a person can count on or will they tuck-tail and run? Should we expect them to stand with us or should we expect them to forego the oncoming train that everyone sees? Did God provide us with logic to make sound, prudent decisions to care for the temple He provided? Is logic a product of the enemy or a gift…

Stepping Back…

Stepping Back… Today is one of those days when you need a meeting, want a meeting but somehow manage to pile 47 different excuses in front of the door. Inexcusable but it happens. The past two weeks have been something of a roller coaster ride. What is happening over here pales in comparison to what is happening to a great many people in Middle Tennessee, including people who are loved very deeply. What they are going through pales in comparison to what someone in Somalia, Libya or Venezuela is going…

Why Do We Wait…

Why Do We Wait… Hitting rock bottom allows us to experience God in all His glory; so, why do we wait? When disaster comes into our lives is when we can see God in the Light He created that allows us to see Him. Why not bathe in that Light all the time instead of on occasion or once / twice in a lifetime or perhaps on Roman’s Road?

He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around…

Abides in Him

Abides in Him Having a log in my eye clouds my vision as to only see the speck in your eye. We are taught, over and over, to look inwards, look at ourselves instead of looking at others. Clean our sins and the sins of others will take of themselves. We are taught, over and over, to love others as we love the Father and the Son of God. Do we, is the real question. Giving of ourselves to others is one way we can show love and concern for…

Forgiving of Sins

Forgiving of Sins Over the past several months the reading of the Bible has become more and more a part of who I am. It seems the more that is learned the more that I want to learn. I feel confident that I am not alone in this situation and probably most Christians, believers, have the same experience. While I have been living the Steps and principals of AA they have been a guiding force, however, they still fall short of understanding, practice and, above all, depth that a person…
