I was thinking Roly Poly

  

Episode 4: November 1, 2022

 

Well, I was thinking and forgot to post episode 3 and when I realized it was just now when I opened my Word document and saw it! AUUGH!! Oh well!  So I posted episode 3 late and then episode 4 came late as well!!! It’s just a roly poly kind of thing I guess.  I use to play with those as a kid.



So for those who may not know, the church Barb and I are Co-Pastors at is having a Fall Jubilee this Saturday.  It has been amazing to see people getting involved and getting excited about this event.  We have about a dozen community partners, and it’s going to be a great event!!  What a blessing to see God's people coming together.  It is interesting that all that had to be done is ask for help.  We've even had to turn some vendors away and are already planning a list for next year.  YES, next year, we will be doing another Jubilee and making it bigger, better and different.

 

Why is different so scary for people?  Why do people get some upset about change and different.  Change can be a good thing because when we change, we are moving forward and not staying the same. 



The other key in moving forward is being positive.  it does no good to move forward and be negative.  What is the point in staying negative?  Is anyone happy being negative and looking to the negative side of life? To change the negativity first you need to do is admit you’re negative.  The second, really want to change!  Then trust someone enough to talk with them about why you are negative.  You may be thinking, “I’m not a negative person normally.”  This may be true, however holding on to one negative thing can corrupt your very being.


 Stay positive my friends and keep looking up!!



 Your friend in the Journey,

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
