The more religious you are, the more mechanical you are and the less merciful you are. You have ceremony without compassion, you have ritual without righteousness, John Hagee

I listened to this today in John Hagee's sermon. Sad, but very true. I seen in my own life the unwillingness to even attempt to understand, nevermind forgive others. As if somehow what we've done is not nearly as egregious as what was done to us. So many can find justification in their actions. Yet it is written, “There is no one righteous, not even one" Romans 3:10. Do you count yourself one of those who seeks for what you're unwilling to give?

So this is my hope,
"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" Philippians 3:12

I'm glad to have heard this today. Does it resonate with you today?
Do you see your reflextion in the water, like these trees do?

I often think of my late Son Brooks when I hear this song. "Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever going to make it home again"

This is from a post I wrote in 2018. Today it still rings true for me.....

There are often things in life that produce incredible disappointments. Often in those trying times we look outward, when perhaps we need to be more introspective. While the actions of those close to us may hurt, and breed incredible disappointment, our responses should strive to be noble, and patient. I pray to be Graced by God in a way that allows me to display that much needed patience, and in that, become a better Man, and an even better Human Being. So as the Sun sets on this day, it is with great anticipation that I seek the rise of the new Sun in all it's glory, as it will surely bring with it new hope......

Your life's journey doesn't start at the finish line. So get up, have that coffee, then get out and do what God has purposed for your life. You may fall, but victory is just a few strides away.

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and starting on the first one.”
― Mark Twain

Living your unique purpose means aligning your actions and life choices with what truly matters to you, fulfilling your potential, and making a meaningful contribution to the world.

Don't compare yourself to those around you. Your gift/purpose is unique to you Be brave enough to live with the understanding that God didn't make a mistake when he laid out the path for your life......

Accessories are generally seen as crucial for women to express their personal style, add flair to outfits, and create a more polished look.

Well, the same goes for men also. French cuffs, egyptian cotton shirts, and suede wingtips. And if he's a photographer, a pair of these!

I asked Google AI for a word of encouragement today and it responded with this....

"Emphasize living with courage and pursuing your dreams, while also recognizing that life is a journey of learning and adapting. Focus on the positive, be kind to yourself and others, and remember that even small steps can lead to significant progress."

Good words to live by......

"New beginnings" signifies a fresh start, a chance to embark on a new phase or venture, and a departure from the past. It implies a positive change, a clean slate, and the opportunity to do things differently.

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, Philippians 3:13 - New Living Translation

So start the journey.......

I was listening to the song from the movie "Fame" and replaced the lyrics with a few of my own......

I sing to my Holy Savior
I glory in his miricle birth
concived in the womb of a virgin
to walk amoung men on the earth
And I sing to lord Jesus
and pray to my God
and I burn with the fire
of to million stars
and in time
and in time
we will be saved
I sing to my holy Savior
I glory in the price that he paide
nailed to a cross for my sining
and rose from the grave the 3rd day
And I sing to lord Jesus
and pray to my God
and I burn with the fire
of to million stars
and in time
and in time
we will be saved......

It is from a poem by Walt Whitman from his 1855 collection Leaves of Grass.

There are times we fear what's ahead of us because the path is not clear. The sun is setting and darkness is on the way. But we know that midnight means a new day has begun and soon we will be in the light once again.

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.”
M. Scott Peck.
