It’s called today. It’s all the time we have. I have never lived in tomorrow and I never will. Attempts to live in yesterday are thwarted by the fact that it’s past. That leaves me with today. There are encouragements to make the most of today as long as it’s called today. Those encouragements are […]
Read More Solid September Signing: As Long As It Is TodayTraining and teaching are subjects that hold a great deal of interest to me. For years I sat under the teaching of someone whose method never changed in all the years I was under his tutelage. That was a fair number of years. When I left it was a huge eye opener to come across […]
Read More Solid September Sale: No One Way Of Doing ItThis weekend I had a very graphic reminder that I am in a war. I am not an aggressive person. I have never made the most of my physique to be in any way intimidating or imposing. I am not the confrontational type and tend to avoid conflict. I knock around with warrior types. It’s […]
Read More Solid September Signing: Fight The Good Fight Of FaithIt’s not just the fact that time is money. It’s about just how valuable time is anyway in regard to the things we use it for. Wasted time is tragic because money may be around but that time is lost. Lost never to be regained again. I often read the aspect of Jesus challenging those […]

After all, how would we ever know? We live a finite number of years and most of that time is spent ageing involving a process of reaching a brief peak of physical and mental capacity before deteriorating and eventually returning […]
Read More An Eternal Perspective: When Time Is No MoreSilence. I know some who are frightened of silence. The stillness. The lack of activity. The absence of noise. It freaks some people out. They don’t feel of any use to anyone unless they are doing something, saying something! Some church gatherings appear dubious of being quiet. (With good reason in some cases.) They are […]
Read More A Comfort To Know: He Whispers Sweet PeaceThat whole glass half full or glass half empty business. What was that all about? The optimist and pessimist both miss the point. The point of the glass is to be full. We look for the full measure of a situation. Our desire in relationships is to get the full picture. Reaching a conclusion in […]
Read More A Glass Half Full Or Empty Or OverflowingOne of the things that keeps me blogging is the blogging of others. True story. I started blogging because I noticed a friend of mine blogging. Then as I got to know the blogosphere better I came across writers and sites from people around the world. Some faith related, others connected to other interests. Their […]
Read More A Reminder Of The Grace To Forgive And ReconcileThe thing about getting to know someone is that to truly do it, you can’t stay on the sidelines. Biographies are a good example.
