God Winks

Sometimes, when we are feeling low, God taps us on the shoulder, gives us a wink and a smile, and lets us know things are going to work out just fine. Tonight, I was (am) struggling with some personal issues and feeling somewhat out of sorts. I have been anxious, worried, and stressed out over … Continue reading God Winks

What If

God does not exist in “what if.” “What if” is the home of fear, anxiety, and expectation.  It is the place where hope and anticipation live, but where presence and appreciation die.  God does not exist in the future of our imaginations.  He does not reside in our wishes or worries.  God exists in what … Continue reading What If

Entrusted With Purpose

We each have a unique spirit and a unique purpose. We may not know what this purpose is, however. In fact, it may not be for us to know.  It may not be any of our business, actually.  If we are fortunate, we may find out some day.  But, if and when we do discover … Continue reading Entrusted With Purpose

Doomcasting

Some of us think too much.  We have wild imaginations that can take us off into all sorts of strange places.  This can, at times, be quite an asset and can help us to solve or even foresee problems in unique and interesting ways.  Along with the benefits of this tendency to overthink, however, comes … Continue reading Doomcasting
