"For all [these] things are [taking place] for your sake, so that the more grace (divine favor and spiritual blessing) extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more thanksgiving may increase [and redound] to the glory of God."

Live Beautifully

Did you know that when you draw your final breath, your life doesn't end? No really, did you ever think it through? Heaven or hell my friends, Heaven? Or hell. Either way, step today w/a purpose..

Found, and not buried

The truth Dear Charlotte, is that there are a plethora of people like you(us), with strange hobbies, talents and/or gifts and when you try to hide these realities because of the fear that it makes you(me) seem weird or that it might turn (weak)people away. 

In truth though, that's actually the mistake that stumbles; for when you consider what makes us so unreasonably unique is that sweet Joy which enabled every person we deeply Love into our Lives in the 1st. place! The truth is in anchored in the now, not buried under the back then.

Forward we treck

What if the answer were to step past an accepted behavior, in order to gain full(er) access to the Kingdom? Should we? Is that not what is Grace is for? Day One Then! Good morning Dear Family, and all the ships @ sea! The Week-End has broken out all around us, Let's Go. 

Somewhere

lis·ten /ˈlis(ə)n/ a verb : give one's attention to a sound.
synonyms: hear, pay attention, be attentive, attend, concentrate;
"Listening is often confused with hearing. While hearing is a process that can be scientifically explained, listening is a neurological cognitive regarding the processing of auditory stimuli received by the auditory system."

We're all Broken

Often as the day rolls along, having heard, or having read, or, as it were, seen it in my own reality, the truth is, we can, should we so believe, we can find Joy in this life, if we step more boldly into the fight!

Psalm 42:7-8

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8. By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.

Autumn

Finally! My favorite season has begun. Rain and the pasture(s) now being cleansed, the aquifer now being filled, the pond O so overflowing!
Praise the Lord..

Here and There

With the week-end in full swing, the #1 reporting in this morning(thanks Son), and the ladies skipping off to Eugene safely, well, though the clouds are promising rain(which I Love, by the way), my heart still churns for clarity. A nice word clarity, frightening for the wayward, but righteously embraced by those who live, freely.

I Love You

Weird as it may appear to others Dear One, indeed; You are embraced and acknowledged as the true Joy of my life! Not just as a friend, nor as a sister, or son, or another Brother, and/or fellow heir, but, Family Member! And in that, your smile(s), warms my heart always..

Breathing In

Change: transitive verb / to make different in some particular - alter to make radically different - transform - to give a different position, course, or direction. PS: And yes Charlotte, I will be in Miami soon! Part of that change(ing) thing. Good, Great, Better Life! Plus: Tiger Fish and Rock Lobster(s)!

Awake

The eye can do more than see.
Just as the mind can do more than just think.
You'll need to be fully awake for either to work though!

October

In all honesty Charlotte, there really aren't that many ways to live a good life. Sure, we can slice it by profession and/or economics, but the reality of Joy is anchored in the Loving of others as much as yourself(!), and in that, there isn't a better way forward. Me, I always seek ocean mornings and the salt of a new life, still, my best sleep is often found in the knowledge that with the new day, the ocean awaits me nonetheless...
