I Was Thinking and Forgot!!!


 Episode 3: October 27, 2022

 I forgot to post this!!


Well, I was thinking about different things this morning….

 

Psalm 120:1-2 “I call on my Lord in my distress, and He answers me.  Save me, Lord, from lying lips and a deceitful tongues.”  

 



Is it sad that David had to cry out because those who were suppose to be close to him were trying to betray him.  People who should be getting along, yet instead of talking things out they are making up stories and telling lies.  We should be focused on bringing the Kingdom of God to earth and yet people get wrapped around the axle and go on the attack. When this happens people leave the church because they don’t get their way or things have changed and let’s face it, we are not very good with change.  Why is it difficult for folks to put their trust and focus on the Lord.  David was not perfect but yet David had great faith and trust in the Lord.  When he sinned against God he did not make excuses and blame others for his sin.  He owned up to it.  When David slept with Bathsheba and murdered her husband he admitted to Nathan that “he (David) sinned against the Lord.” 2 Samuel 12:13 “I have sinned against the LORD.” David was also humble.  We followers of Christ, could learn a lot from this behavior.

I was Thinking...About Criticism

Image
April 10, 2023 Episode 21 I was thinking about….criticism vs critiquing. I believe this is a fine line that people walk when events are going on and that people get these two things mixed up. I believe defining the two is vital in this personal discussion. to critiquing: give an opinion or judgment about a piece or work, book, movie, etc criticism: the act of giving your opinion or judgment about the good or bad qualities of something or someone Hey guess what, these two things are very, very similar!! If not the same. The act of giving your opinion or judgement….. that is not a bad thing to do, especially when people ask for it. “Good or bad qualities” this is where things get sticky like fly paper. We forget the good and only focus on the bad while we try to disguise it as good. I found a “simple definition of criticism” “the act of criticizing and especially of finding fault” that is rub for most people…. Finding fault. I’ve seen it where events have been done and p

I Was Thinking....About Feelings

  January 13, 2023 Episode 17   I was thinking…About feelings.  Yes, I said feelings.  😊    I do have feelings!  I just have difficulty showing them.  Why is it it’s so easy to get our feelings hurt?  How do we over come getting hurt, angry, frustrated, Etc.?  I was thinking about this while I steam cleaned the carpets at the church and let me tell you that the carpets at the church really needed cleaned!!  What do you think of when you think of carpets?  It’s a place that you walk.  Things rest upon it?  It holds things (dirt, water, etc). It takes a beating!   Compare that to feelings.  Don’t our feelings take a beating?  Can’t someone race through different emotions in a short amount of time???? When we engage with other people throughout our day we stack different emotions on top of each other just like a carpet collects the junk and crud that falls on it as well as the weight of other items resting heavily on it.  Don’t we do this?  Don’t we do this?  Allowing the junk of the day

I was thinking about....FREEDOM

July 3, 2023 Episode 22 I was thinking…About FREEDOM. This being the 3rd of July, the only obvious thing to be thinking about is FREEDOM! Even though today is a Monday and the 4th is on Tuesday, there seemed to be a lot of activities going on over the weekend and that has made me wonder why is it, we only seem to be worried about freedom once a year. Are we truly thankful for our freedom? People will cook out, go camping, go fishing, watch hot air balloons and watching fireworks. I’m truly surprised that with the way society is going (its “wokeness), the freedom to celebrate freedom has not been taken away. There is one freedom that nobody can take away and that is our freedom from sin. I love how Galatians 5:1 says, “Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” (The Message). The cool thing is, anyone can have this freedom. Romans 10:9 tells us, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and b
