Shame and regret are twin toxic enemies. Our soul and spirit will not flourish believing their insidious lies. They have been two of my nemesis. Their 'damning' tentacles reach deep into the core of our being. Their dark message: you will never measu
Is life like a box of chocolates? It can be. This may strike you as being rather odd. The one's who laugh the most are generally healthier. In every respect they handle life simply and childlike. I mean physically, emotionally, spiritually and relati

1:11 This is how we fit into God's picture, Christ is the measure of our portion; we are in Him; invented and defined in Him. God's blueprint intention is on exhibition in us, everything He accomplishes is inspired by the energy and intent of His aff
Brennan Manning loved to refer to the Gospel as the Ragamuffin Gospel. I always liked that! Why? I didn’t come to Jesus with any piety or with the veil of religious performance. I was completely surprised when I encountered Jesus. He was totally oth

The exemplary life and sacrificial death of Christ on Calvary did not change the Father’s disposition toward us; it unveiled and revealed His Eternal Heart: period! End of debate and discussion. God was not an ogre before Calvary! Christ is not plan
Life; ah life, oh ‘c—p’, I never seem to get life right, I always (at least it feels like always) seem to ‘pooh’ in my pants when I try to grasp ‘life’ by understanding ‘it’, and then, living ‘it’ by reducing the mystery of ‘it’ into a system of idea
