leave it behind

let it go
drop it
be done with it
it can stay stuck with '09

WHAT?
You decide...
anything bad....anything dull...anything that holds you back...or picks at you.
bad memories...inconsistment decisions...
mindsets...attitudes....failures....awkwardness...the old life
resentments...stubborness...

pack in it tie it up ship it out (with no return address)
and don't look back...

we are moving on.....

MERRY CHRISTMAUS!!!!

christmas lost

Every christmas season I fight with feelings of loss. I have come to realize that the situations...the people....the times... all change, but that sense of betrayal, failure, rejection, loss are always prevelant...today someone wiser than I wondered if it was all tied to one event. So I pondered...when was I just happy at Christmas? ahhhh bing! It was when my dad was alive. He died just before the holidays, and yes I think I have been fighting against that loss since 1973.

That's sad....but not hopeless!!

I talked to my Heavenly Father about these things...and here is what i learned:
The enemy is out to steal my.....comfort and joy (ti-dings of com-fort & joy...)
hmmmm. He keeps trying to torment. divide, ruin my favorite holiday...my time with family...he has a strategy, a plan, evil devices....

And I am not ignorant of them.

God & I can outwit, outlast and outplay him any day of the week....
I sacrifice my comfort & joy to God....hah! Then the devil can't have it, can't get it, can't touch it! and I get it back 100 fold in the presence of God!!!
I'm sitting here grinning form ear to ear...I just won.

Merry christmas to all and to all a GREAT NIGHT!!

Halleluia chorus leaves me speechless....

The faith which you have in Him ...
gives you joy greater than words and full of glory...


For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you,made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;


Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants... to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven;

things which even angels have a desire to see.


So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch,
hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1Pe 1:8->->->

color my world

How many crayons are in your box?
Are you using old crayons, with names that are politically incorrect?
Do you keep using the same 3 primary colors,
then wonder why all your pictures look the same
Are you fond of 8, 24, could you truly embrace 64 or more?

yes , yes this is all very metaphorical...
but it is up to you to decide what this all means to you....
I already know what it means to me...and I am determined
to start using more color in my life,
furthermore I plan to color outside the lines
and may even start with a blank page!
