THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

  The flame has been fanned for years and now here we are … white against black, black against white, every culture loathing every other culture, blaming everyone and not taking responsibility.  Everyone’s irrational and angry.   Our country is sick and it feels like we are terminal. We are the weakest we have ever… Continue reading THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

Bottle Rockets and Red Rubber Boots

    The same memory comes to mind when I reflect on the 4th of July. Every year was the same scene. Me standing at the screen door looking out watching my brother and all the other children enthralled in all kinds of fireworks. I finally would get coaxed to come outside when my brother… Continue reading Bottle Rockets and Red Rubber Boots

Questions

A short quick non-blog this morning.... I wrote a blog Friday morning called "Bug and MG" that I briefly posted but took down.  I have had quite a few readers privately ask me where it went and why I took it down.   I felt unsettled in my spirit about it, it was reactionary and… Continue reading Questions

Quit telling me God has a plan.

I really like this blogger and thought I’d repost his blog as someone shared it with me recently- it’s a good read Check him out …Jordan Nations.

A good friend sent me a text last week asking, “How did you make big life decisions like moving and getting an adult job?” I thought it was funny because in most ways I’m still making the big life decisions that come with graduating college. I’m living in the same Tallahassee home I’ve lived in all year and have yet to choose my next move. 

I sent an essay response to her single sentence question loaded with my first thoughts on the topic. She thanked me and responded, “I swear if one more person tells me that God knows the plans he has for me… I’m going to punch them in the jugular. Good intentions. And I know ultimately I need to trust God. But that doesn’t help me actually make a decision.”

The jugular? Pretty extreme I suppose, but I think I agree.

The Disney Four C’s

Most people that even know me a little, know that Walt Disney is one of my heroes. He marched to the beat of his own drum, had zero encouragement, knew his heart, and never ever gave up on his dream. He failed in business ventures more times than I can recall, but each time his… Continue reading The Disney Four C’s

Time To Let Go

Is it hard for you to get rid of things? I always thought I was pretty good at keeping my life clutter free but I’m realizing it’s actually become harder as I get older. Or maybe I’ve always been a saver and it wasn’t as obvious until my years started accumulating along with my stacks… Continue reading Time To Let Go

What is the Measure of my Days?

My Dad is in Kentucky this week visiting and we are having the greatest time. The first morning he was here he brought his Bible out and shared this Psalm that he had been reading. It is so powerful! I said “Where did you find that Psalm?” He replied, “Right here,” as he held up… Continue reading What is the Measure of my Days?

That’s Disappointing

  Let me just say from the “get go” of this blog that it most certainly falls under the hash tag of #firstworldproblems. Compared to real life problems and the serious issues most of you deal with, daily, this is nothing short of small and petty, but I’m on vacation … and compared to real… Continue reading That’s Disappointing
