Honestly, when I read the Scriptures, I really believe the Lord puts a heart in us when we become believers.

We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.

Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.

God didn’t just give a little for us; He gave His best. He gave Himself.

We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money; we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.

I love staring out toward the ocean and away from anything manmade.
