"There's No Disappointment In Jesus"

No matter how noble a person may be, sooner or later they're gonna disappoint you. My reaction to the disappointment is a direct result of where my eyes are focused. If I'm looking to that person to fulfill my needs, I'm gonna be greatly hurt and angered. But if my eyes are focused on Jesus, my heart will be protected. "Looking unto Jesus..." An old Christian song comes to mind.....I can only think of the tune and the main phrase; the rest of the words escape me: "There's no disappointment in Jesus." Friends and family may throw me curve balls at times, but Jesus never fails.

I need to focus......

Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes

There are changes occurring in my life......nothing major or outstanding, just life stuff. They're not bad changes; they're not good changes. They're just changes. The problem with change is it forces me to reprioritize, reschedule, rethink. It forces me to move beyond my comfort zone, and therein lies the problem. I like my comfort zone; it's . . . well, it's comfortable.

Change is like a new pair of shoes. Pretty, fun, but needing to be broken in. You get a blister, the blister heals into a callous, and when the shoes finally get to the point where they're just right, they're worn out, and it's time for another new pair of shoes. Pretty, fun, but needing to be broken in.

Change is inevitable. Why can't I just walk through life barefoot?

Questions for an Omniscient God

A wonderful, sweet woman who has seen more than her share of trials has just been diagnosed with cancer. I believe in the sovereignty of God. I know that God is always right and God is always good, but floating in the midst of all that faith are a few particles of doubt. "God, will You heal her? God, is there a purpose to all this? God, is this fair?" I'm not angry, but I am questioning the reason for all this.

Please join me in praying for Nattie.

My New Home

I needed a new blog home, something totally unrelated to my prior blog. I needed a new beginning, a place of refreshment to regather my thoughts and restructure my words. I needed something quick and easy to set up and use. And, in the process, a blog at no cost was enticing as well. So.....here I am, settling into the world of blogspot. My home is rather bare right now, but I hope to rectify that situation soon enough.

In the meantime, welcome to my humble abode. I have no idea if my welcome reaches anyone, or if I'm just talking to the wind. But it feels good to be polite, so I'll say it again . . . welcome. And now, time for me to look around this place and see what it has to offer.
