Being a Good Receiver

Most people would be honored to be labeled as a giver. There are many people I know that I would consider to be excellent givers. It seems to be their automatic nature. Some of us aren't quite as good at it, but we try. Recently, I have been reminded of the importance of being a good receiver as... Sign in to see full entry.

Talking to Myself Again

Yes, I'm one of those people. You've seen me before. No one else is around, and my mouth is moving with words coming out. It's just me talking to myself again. It is natural to give a second look anytime we see someone else doing the same thing. We even laugh at ourselves when we notice that we are... Sign in to see full entry.

Positive Focus

Why is it that when we take on life's challenges we tend to think of what may go wrong instead of what we can accomplish? There are people that don't think that way. However, as much as I consider myself a positive thinker, I still fight this battle on a regular basis. I keep reading how we... Sign in to see full entry.

A Quiet Example

There are many of us that strive to be a positive example to those around us. Sometimes we have the best of intentions, but don't always make the impacts we are looking to make. At least I feel that way sometimes. In my case, I sometimes I get lazy. Other times I don't focus as well as I should, or... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is Better Than a Mirror

What do we use mirrors for? It may sound like an obvious or even silly question. We all know that we use it to see ourselves. It is a reflection that comes back at us, resulting in the ability to see ourselves. In life there are many things that "come back at us". It has been brought to my attention...

Be "Into it"

It's always exciting to receive a new friend request on Facebook. I love the site because I am back in touch with many friends I thought I would never speak to again. Not only does it bring the people back, but many memories as well. I received a request recently from an old friend from Long Island... Sign in to see full entry.

She Completely Ignored Me!

I live just outside of Buffalo NY. The city has a reputation of having some of the nicest people in the country. It is one of the reasons I moved here from Long Island years ago. Normally, when crossing paths with someone people say hello, even if it is someone they don't know. I always like to do... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank You!

For my past two posts, I have focused on one of my favorite Bible verses. It is I Thessalonians 5:16-18....Be joyful always, and pray continually. The final part of that verse says to "give thanks in all circumstances". How easy is it to be thankful? If one developes a habitual attitude of... Sign in to see full entry.

How Often Should We Pray?

Is there a certain amount of time that we need to pray? Can we pray too much or too little? I have heard some debate about this topic. One side says we should present our prayer once and let God take it from there. They say that if we keep praying about the same thing it shows a lack of faith. On... Sign in to see full entry.

A Simple Definition of God's Will

Are you one who wants to know God's will for your life? Do you sometimes have difficulty wondering exactly what it is? If you are like me, you struggle with this question on a regular basis. If only there was a simple answer. As I pondered this in my own devotional time I was lead to one of my... Sign in to see full entry.
