Will It Ever Change? Know Your Life's GiftsLife is full with the many questions of what is yet to be. With each year given, we create new layers of memories and experiences. Just as the many applications of paper on the walls of the home, often we make the decision to 'cover–up' with yet another layer of choice by simply trying to ignore what we have learned. Focus: the Bull's Eye of Your Success TargetFocus is the unwritten principle that govern all success. Life is about energy. The universe rewards those with higher energy resonance. When you focus your energy (mental, spiritual, and physical) you become an irresistible magnet (or money magnet) that attracts everything that belongs to you by divine right. The difference between success and failure lies in the power of concentration. Success then become what you attract by becoming an attractive person. That's how to develop the power of magnetism and influence that attract people, business, success and money. The Top Ten Gifts of Being an Inner-Directed IndividualEvery human is born with distinct traits. Used well, they are assets that lead to a rich and rewarding life. Misused or under-utilized, they can become liabilities that create pain and struggle.Inner-directed individuals (introverts, highly sensitive people, etc.) possess special qualities that set them apart from the average person. Still, the double-edged sword of asset or liability exists. This article looks at those particular traits with an eye to recognizing the edge between use and abuse of them. How To Have The Best Day Of Your LifeYou can learn a lot when you pay close attention to the day Ivan Kroutikhin went quite mad. Living A Dream - Play Big!Alright, I can 100% vouch for the concept that if you stay focused on your dream, if you are willing to do every day something towards your dream, if you are willing to never ever give up then you will have an experience beyond your wildest imagination. Out of Place, Out of TimeThe undying spirit of India Post. Dream Like A ChildThese dreams and visions were very really and exciting to me as a child. It was a rude awakening to me at about the age of 19 or 20 when I realized that my dream had past me by. It was a hapless feeling of what do I do now with my life. To live without a dream or a purpose is the worse possible feeling anyone can have. Power Tool: HonestyWho cares if being dishonest is morally and ethically wrong?! Find out the real deal on honesty Tarry with Me"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, 'Where are you?'" (Genesis 3:8-9)You and I can return to the "garden". We can walk with our heavenly Father in the (yes,) "cool of the day", which can be anytime we make a decision of our will to set time aside for communion with Him. No IdeaWonder...a sense of wonder. Isn't that where we all end up when we consider our God, His creation, the works of His mighty hand?I once had an office mate at work with whom I did this wondering out loud. One day I was talking about one thing in particular that I wondered about when she suddenly burst out with, "Bill, you just wonder TOO MUCH!"Too much? Such a thought had never crossed my mind before! Am I not supposed to wonder, or had I crossed some maximum threshold and boldly gone where no man had gone before? Let's Synchronize Watches"On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; all day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves."
Isaiah 62:6Recently I was given an opportunity through which the Lord reminded me about aspects of intercessory prayer which I had forgotten. Perhaps you have been in the place I was and can identify. I admit I am a slow learner when it comes to spiritual matters and need repeated instruction to get it to "sink in." Just As I AmJust as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.So begins one of the most familiar old hymns--one which is most likely remembered because of its use as an "invitational song" at the close of many traditional church services. Whether or not you know this hymn, you probably are not familiar with the history of its authorship and the story behind its writing. At least, I know I was not. Jesus Loves Me"When you get this concept into your mind and heart it will totally revolutionize your life." That's just the way the Lord said it to me. And just what is this revolutionary concept? His all-consuming, unconditional love for me. (And each of you can say the same.) Hey, Get the Phone! (It's for You!)I'm sure that, like me, if you've been a Christian for any length of time you've had moments when the hair stood up on the back of your neck; when you've gotten "goose bumps"; when the arrangement of events have led you unmistakably to the conclusion that HE HAS SPOKEN. But I realize that what I really want is not these 3D/IMAX encounters with God which may come only once in a lifetime if at all but, instead, the regular, intimate relationship with God that Adam and Eve had with Him in the Garden. And, through Jesus, you and I can have such a relationship with our Heavenly Father. Here I Am (Gulp!), Lord!"Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord
If you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart"A few years ago my dear friend, Robbie, gave me new insight into the significance of this song. We must have been singing it in a service and I told her how much I liked it. She said something like, "But have you ever thought of the seriousness of the words--about what you're saying when you sing this song?"And, therein, lies the beginning of another journey with the Lord... CaptivatedThere's a song which has dominated my attention for the past couple of weeks. From the first time I heard it, I began to play it so many times I've lost count. I think it's a beautiful song, of course, but there's so much more to it than that. It's a simple, quiet song with two voices and an acoustic guitar. I really want to suggest it not as a song, but as a prayer--a prayerful preparation for a conversation with our Heavenly Father. Are You Living Life to the Full?Are you getting the most out of life? Would five simple keys help you get the most out of life? Snap Out Of It - Change Your State Of MindToday I had a discussion with a phenomenally successful woman who earns well over 200,000 dollars a year, is up at four in the morning to work out, meditates and prays daily, is incredibly giving, mentors many, is involved with charitable activities, is active her her children's lives and finds herself dealing with a checks and balance system within herself that asks "Am I OK? What did I do and what didn't I do? You Are The Actor or Actress Of Your Own StoryMany thinkers and writers, both past and present, have described human beings in this world as actors and actresses on a big stage, this life, to one great play. Ask yourself, what role are you playing? Who's writing your script? Are you acting out your own story? Or are you simply going through the motions in someone else's play? A Prayer for Our LeadersFather, we thank You that You hear our prayer. Please remind us, too, that You are still in charge! Living the American ComaComfort builds comformity. Sometimes we don't even notice it. Amy, a Child of Incredible CourageAmy Moar is small of stature but huge of heart. This little girl may be on borrowed time but her joy for life and her amazing musical skill reveal a child of astonishing talent even though she has no optic nerve, can see nothing at all and has undergone massive amounts of surgery on her damaged skeleton. Use It or Lose It!The proverb, "If you don't use it, you lose it," is so true. Neglect and misuse of a gift, whether truth or youth, means we not only lose the blessing inherent in the gift but we also lose the greater opportunities that would have come our way had we used the gift properly. From Sunset to SunriseBefore our son died I enjoyed sunsets. After he died I watched sunrises. I became addicted to them, for they promised a new day with new possibilities. They became as important to me as the promises in God's Word. A New LifeAt the age of 8 years old my parents decided to pull up roots and move to a new world to find a better life for my family. This is a story of our jouney to a new world. Oh! My Soul is OverwhelmedI will never forget the moment that our youngest son walked off the elevator and he saw the grief in our eyes. We told him the awful news: his fiance had a grave cancer. As I held this huge bear of vulnerability in my arms, I thought of this verse in which Jesus asked His beloved family to watch with Him; to enter into His grieving heart as He was to enter His time of trouble. You Will Understand LaterTragedies don't happen because God hates us. If we can grasp Jesus' promise, "You may not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand" (John 13:7), then we will have calm in the midst of our storm. Seized with Astonishment(T)hese people saw Jesus tell a lame man to get up and go on with life, and they were amazed. Is it any less amazing that he tells us to get up and go about our daily duties-and while doing so, to see and hear his daily miracles? 85 Year Old Man Learns How To ReadDid you ever want to achieve something so bad but were afraid to try? Did you want to learn something new but did not have the time? Did you ever after years and years of thinking about this achievement finally achieve it? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, read on. Jiggle PatternWe are all in motion, even the inorganic among us. What looks like a solid table to us is really is an infinity of little ions buzzing and bouncing around held together by a tenuous magnetic force. We never arrive. We are always in a process of becoming, and that includes inanimate objects as well. Is it any wonder some of us get confused?Records: 121-150 from 530
