But for the grace of God, there go I

I love this scripture because it assumes compassion, and then gratefulness. At any time, any of us, could be down and out, face some new affliction, or find ourselves in the same bad way,as someone we see and pity. There are always people better off than us, but, there are just as many worse off. We... Sign in to see full entry.

One source of unhappiness, another great quote!

"It's not so much your situation, but your evaluation of the situation, that brings the unhappiness" Oh so true indeed. It's easy to think about our problems with a "woe is me" now what... there's no solution, etc. attitude. To merely dwell on the idea of this situation is what causes us... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you all talk, or can you do what you say?

Another great quote - "The smallest deed, is better than the grandest intention." Do you spend more time talking about what you're going to do, sometime, or could your actions speak for themselves? Do you talk about what you would do if only you could? Or can you be found doing what you're able to... Sign in to see full entry.

Are you part of the problem, or the solution?

"It is better to light a candle, than to curse the darkness" One of my favorites, because so many people seem to just curse the darkness. There are so many things in life we can't do anything about but complain, I think we forget there are just as many things we can do, to help matters. Are you part... Sign in to see full entry.

I met the big know it all

"The only thing worse than an expert, is someone who thinks he's an expert." I had to endure the ramblings of one of those "I just happen to be right all the time" snooties.I managed to stay civil towards them, even though they went on and on and on. It was the way in which he spoke that allowed his... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever failed?

Starting a business is a great dream. Some work, others don't. This time for us it failed. Some people love to give their unwanted opinions to make you feel worse. Criticism is the last thing that is needed at this time. Still, it may come, but I found a wonderful saying to shut them up and make me... Sign in to see full entry.

It's not how many times you fall,

but how many times you get up that counts. Being human we are bound to make mistakes. We have to stand up, brush ourselves off, and keep going. Having tried many things in life to make money to live, there have been a few failures. Sometimes we all feel like giving up. Approaching middle age can be... Sign in to see full entry.

I come first! "Me" time: crucial

Sometimes my workload gets so heavy with chores and things to do, I feel like giving up. There's never an end to it, and just when I think I can rest, something else comes up. I feel overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted. I have learned it's because I've forgotten about me. I need to fit in, time for... Sign in to see full entry.

What God wants

The Lord has given to every man his work. It is his business to do it, and the devil's to hinder him if he can. As sure as God has given you work to do, Satan will try to hinder you. He may present other things more promising. He may allure you by worldly prospects, he may assault you with slander,... Sign in to see full entry.

Does Evil Exist?

One day a professor of a university decided to defy his pupils. He asked, Did God create everything that exists? A student answered bravely, "yes, he did" Everything? asked the teacher. Yes everything, was the answer of the student. In this case, God also created evil, correct? Because evil... Sign in to see full entry.
