Nobility has nothing to do with ones’ position in life. Rather, it has everything to do with ones “position” in Christ.

Questions To Ponder Today 1.  What is nobility? 2.  Do you want to be noble? 3.  Do you want to be considered as having more worth than a priceless jewel? 4.  Why are women so lacking in noble character? This afternoon I was digging deeper into the words of King Solomon.  His lament in Ecclesiastes... Continue Reading →

Once You Are Real You Can Never Be Ugly

FROM THE VELVETEEN RABBIT (one of my favorite stories). Below is an excerpt from a conversation between the Velveteen Rabbit and the Skin Horse.  It is truly thought provoking, and a good reminder of the realities of life and the importance of love.

Prepare the soil of your heart

This is the time of year I normally set aside to accomplish the task of cleaning up the back deck from all the ravages of winter.  The task took a bit longer than usual this year, partly because I'm not in the best of health right now and also because it was such a savage... Continue Reading →

Solitude

When I was growing up in a family of 8 children, I can never remember having any times of solitude.  10 people living in a cramped 4 bedroom, 1 bath railroad flat type apartment didn't offer many opportunities for quiet times, let alone discovery. As a young adult, I took my first two apartments with... Continue Reading →

Selfish and Part Time Lovers
