Time wasters

Last year I attended a seminar about Christianity Explored and a portion of it dealt with time management. They offered a great visual aide to see how you spend your time every day.
Use this clock for example…
Imagine each section equals 2 hours of your day.

(Which makes it a 24 hour clock!)
Mark off the time [...]

Out of control

There were times when I thought people would think I was nuts for saying I felt I was somehow speaking a script that I’d never read. A sense of déjà vu I couldn’t explain sometimes gripped me. Slowly God revealed to me how much I enjoy being in control. These moments of “Wow, I think I’m not the one doing this.” were to shake me into loosening my iron grip on my life and letting God take over.

Depraved and helpless

That’s what I am… depraved and helpless.

You may choose to argue it, but you won’t change my mind. Why? Because that’s what scripture tells me about myself. And the older I get, the more I believe it.

It’s a hard thing to accept about yourself. Of course we all want to think

Cures for Cancer: Part 1

Some have asked “Why do ‘bad’ things happen to seemingly good people?” And I have no true answer.

Why has my family been so ‘hit’ by cancer when none of us smoke or drink or work in jobs which could lend itself to producing cancer? I’m not sure about that either.

But I know God has given each of us the strength to fight, the joy of living in the ‘now’ and a hope for the future. He has strengthened our relationships, encouraged our devotion to Him and given us ways to enable others to fight their battle.

Who I am Hates Who I’ve Been: Part 2

Who I am is so much more than who I was… and I’m trying to change that fact. Ok, maybe that was too cryptic. Here’s what I need people. This is what I lack. Motivation! Yes, good old fashioned ‘get up and go’.
“What!?” you say, “No, not you!” Alas, [...]

Who I am Hates Who I’ve Been: Part 1

I tend to be reflective on my life and the lives of those around me. It’s one of the ways I learn. What to do, what not to do, what I should have done and what I’ll never be able to do.
I’ll never be able to go back and change the past, yet [...]

Poem from the Past

I moved recently and vowed to throw out all the ’stuff’ I apparently never needed in the first place – yet paid someone to move for me. Tonight I was watching a movie and going through a big pile of papers, shredding much of it, and I found this poem I wrote on notebook [...]

Hope for the Soul Searching

A friend of mine recently wrote a blog which inspired me to dust off my keyboard and blog myself! Instead of rambling on her page, I thought I’d pull from her missive and write a bit myself. In essence, this is my response to her – but I think some of you will [...]
