It has been so easy for me to get caught up, in the hustle and bustle, of the Christmas shopping and preparing for Christmas. I have just read in Isaiah 29. Read with me the following verses and the footnotes, for these verses. (13-14) “And so the Lord says, ‘These people say they are mine.Continue reading “hustle and bustle”

Sensual fleshly desires
James 4: 1-10 Read with me: ” What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?

We can’t tell when we’ve had our last chance to change. When we, like the person in this proverb, refuse to consider valid criticism, weContinue reading “Wisdom’s Way”
Coffee Cup Wisdom
A friend of mine brought this quote to my attention. I found it most interesting and wanted to get some of your thoughts on the meaning of this. “The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from theContinue reading “Coffee Cup Wisdom”
