The beliefs we form need to be compared with what God says is right and good and not by what is acceptable in our culture.

In order to move from a lifestyle of surviving to one of thriving we must empty ourselves of all that keeps us from living totally dependent on God.

Practicing integrity and setting a good example are habits God says will not only help us but will also set an example for others to follow.

"Easy Does It" OR “Take it Easy” are some well known and well used slogans that point us toward healthy responses to whatever is going on.  The thought behind these words is that we should slow down and relax and take a measured approach to a problem or to whatever seems complicated and frustrating to us.

Remember this song: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning ..... a blast from the past yet still so fresh and real today.

It’s very soothing and quieting to my soul to pause and watch some turtles in a pond not far from here. They aren’t in a hurry,  In fact, many times when we go there they never move from the time we arrive, go for a walk up the trail, and come back. Those turtles aren’t moving for any of us.  In their own good time, when they get ready to eat probably, they’ll move along. What helps me stay quietly in space and then move along at the right time?
