Do I really smother my own joy because I believe that anger achieves more than love? That Satan's way is more powerful, more practical, more fulfilling in my daily life than Jesus' way? WHy else get angry? Isn't it because I think complaining, exasperation, resentment will pound me up into the full life I really want? When I choose-and it is a choice-to crush joy with bitterness, am I not purposefully choosing to take the way of the Prince of Darkness? Choosing the angry way of Lucifer because I think it is more effective-more expedient-than giving thanks?

Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.

Thanksgiving creates abundance.

They say time is money, but that's not true. Time is life. And if I want the fullest life, I need to find fullest time... the busyness of your life leaving little room for the source of your life... God gives us time. And who has time for God? Which makes no sense.

Because One died for me that I might breathe this breath...It's all a gift.

How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.

Sometimes you don’t know when you’re taking the first step through a door until you’re already inside.
