Romans 8:5-6 Where Is Your Mind?
Romans 8:5-6 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.Continue reading “Romans 8:5-6 Where Is Your Mind?”
Highlights
We often remember our lives through the “highlights,” those moments when we felt the best. Or at least that is the way we would like to remember our journey. But for many of us we have some pretty painful bumps along the road. So what do we do when our “highlights” turns into “The GreatestContinue reading “Highlights”
Single Focus
Psalm 16:7-11 It is so easy to get lost along the road of life. There are so many distractions. Some states are even outlawing some of those distractions. I heard about a man who got a ticket for eating a burger while he was driving. I hope it wasn’t a veggie burger! Of courseContinue reading “Single Focus”

When you are famous, your life becomes fair gameContinue reading “Too Much”

They are able to not get sidetracked by non-important, non-essential tasks that don’t contribute to the goal. They can look at what needs toContinue reading “Viewfinder”
FOCUS!
Proverbs 15:22 Sometimes plans just fall apart. Sometimes a new grandson needs open-heart surgery in order to live. Blogging took a vacation! As I listen to the noise coming from Washington, our proverb seems to fit. The “exchanges” aren’t ready, and we were told they would not be ready, and yet we areContinue reading “FOCUS!”
