November Thoughts

We are to stay in the world and be quiet and effective and unassuming. Moderation is the key word. The only time we notice there is salt is when there is either too much or too little. God does not ask us to be sensationalists about our religion, but to be in the world day by day, in the common round of life.

June Thoughts

How tempted we are to rake the one who has just insulted our dignity; how dare he or she tell us we are less than perfect. But there He stood, the perfect One, in the de profundus of His life, unjustly examined and accused and unmercifully degraded. In this storm of abuse, Jesus held His peace and answered nothing. The meek and lowly One would not defend His words and work, He whose words will not pass away (Matthew 24:35) and whose works abide forever. Be silent, be silent!

Our Only Obstacle

Let's say you believe life is difficult and I believe it's happy and fun. Someone else might believe it's good in certain situations. Which outlook is true? Are they all true? Or are none of them true? The answer is, it depends entirely on your viewpoint. A belief is something we decide should be true based upon our life experiences and perceptions.

Putting Your Best Face Forward

The key to having a 'perfect face' is looking in the mirror without judgment—look at your wonderful face that has faced the world; faced all the issues and travail head-on; has smiled under the burden of complex feelings; has taken it on the chin when life got tough and has faced every challenge with grace and dignity.
