God’s Voice

God is still speaking to us. Sometimes He uses other people to get a message to us, while other times we might get His word from something we read. But He isn’t silent, even during the times we aren’t talking to Him.

There’s a lot of noise in the world. Talking heads, blow hard politicians and negative people can consume our energy if we let them. Spend some time in silence every day. Clarity comes when you eliminate the noise…

The Madness

Everywhere you look it seems the world has gone mad. The craziest among us get the attention, and how dare we stand up for what’s right because we are marginalizing the minority.

Yet I believe in the goodness of mankind. There is good everywhere, too. You just have to look for it. And if you can’t find it? Be good…

Patience

It’s said that “patience is a virtue,” but I have a difficult time being patient. Yet I don’t think I’m without virtues.

My patience runs thin with ignorant, rude people. My patience’s is infinite with toddlers. Toddlers are just trying to learn how the world works. I’m trying to learn that myself!

If you struggle with patience, remember that you aren’t missing virtues. You are simply human…

The Silence of Fear

Most people are living in fear of something. The genesis of fear can be traced to the past. Perhaps we have experienced loss and are afraid of losing again.

Fear remains silent because we don’t want to be seen as fearful. Facing our fears frees us from the hold the past has on us, allowing us to experience more from life.

Do you want to live fully? Face your fears and they become powerless over you…

Repeated Failures

Did you ever try to accomplish something over and over again, simply to become frustrated and irritated? We all have.

Don’t quit. Step away from what you are doing and take a walk. Maybe a short nap is in order. You must refresh your mind and change your thinking. A solution is waiting for you, as long as you’re willing to keep going…
