When Pigs Fly August 12, 2010
Today I was reading my daily devotional thought in Sarah Young’s “Jesus Calling.”
I read, “Relax in My Healing, holy presence. Allow Me to transform you through this time alone with Me. As your thoughts center more and more on Me, trust displaces fear and worry.”
That would be wonderful I thought to myself. No more fear and worry and stress. Then, this thought chased right after it, yeah right, that will happen when pigs fly.
Later, I was at my computer going through pictures I have taken this year and I came across this one from Jack’s Barbeque in downtown Nashville. Well, what do you know, pigs flying! I had to laugh. Isn’t it just like God to remind me that He is all powerful even when I have my doubts.
Thank you Lord.
Help me let go of fear.
Help me let go of always needing to be in control.
Help me let go of unforgiveness.
Help me let go of stress.
Help me let go of worry.
Thank you, Lord for reminding me that you are in control. Always.

Admiration for a Fellow Believer January 11, 2010
Check out the video below. I admire Mr. Hume for sticking up for what he believes in and recommending the real answer to the world’s problems to a man mired down in sin. Thanks, Brit Hume and Mr. Bill O’Reilly!

Life is Risky? January 8, 2010
Is this how you look at life? Are you always playing it safe? Or do you see life as an adventure to be grabbed by two hands and hang on? The following blog post is written by a world traveler. He is the owner of the site The Art of Non-Conformity. I admire him and his choice to live a lifestyle based on his own terms full out. I can think of no better way to start 2010 than to be reminded that God created us to live our lives abundantly and not to spend our time here on this earth shrinking in fear and worry. The link is below.
One Nation Under God December 22, 2009
I love it when an artist feels he is on a mission from the God of the universe. Watch this video for one such artist and see if you aren’t feeling a lot more patriotic and spiritual when you are finished.
Santa or Jesus? December 22, 2009
This wonderful, thought-provoking song video was passed on to me by a dear friend. Have we gone too far in the season pushing Santa Claus for the enjoyment of our children that we have forgotten about the REAL reason for Christmas?
The Boy Wonder November 3, 2009
This article is about an amazing boy in Africa who lived in an impoverished village and had to drop out of school. But that didn’t stop him. He simply went to the library and looked at the pictures in a textbook (because he couldn’t read English) and built a windmill that powered his family’s farm. He created the windmill from salvaged junk–anything he could find. The other people in his village called him a madman! But he kept on for three months until he accomplished what he set out to do. Why? Because he believed he could.
Here in American we have advantages and blessings that William never even dreamed of. What excuses are you making for not accomplishing your goals? Believe in the power of the windmill and go get it done.

Aha! Moment September 18, 2009
I have been doing a lot of self work lately. It is amazing how much I am growing and learning. A few moments can be disheartening when I look at all that I need and want to change in my behavior and attitudes. Then, I just have to think about how far I’m come. When I look back to what I was like in my teens and twenties I realize I have come a long way, baby! : ) That gives me inspiration and encouragement to continue the upward climb on living a more conscious and fulfulling life.
The big AHA realization I want to share today has to do with excitment. I have always prided myself on wanting to live an exciting, adventurous life filled with great stuff, travel, joy, etc. I mean I really wanted this stuff. I bet you do, too. But being an introvert I sat back, crossed my arms and waited for it to come to me. Of course, I really didn’t know I was doing that. I thought I was doing something. Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, unfortunately, I was just fooling myself because I didn’t realize until the last several weeks that in order for me to have excitment in my life I have to get excited.
Pause. Think.
Yes, the most profound things are so very simple. In fact, you might say, wow, that is just stupid: of course, you have to get excited to have excitment. Somehow, I don’t think this message is getting through to countless others just like it wasn’t getting through to me. If it is maybe someone should tell them to tell their faces. In our American culture, excitment isn’t really cool unless you are on T.V. Sitting back and examining, analyzing, and judging people or things is the “in” thing. If we get excited we risk looking foolish. Children get excited about things–mature adults don’t. Isn’t that the message we are sent?
I now commit that I don’t care what other people think. If I want to live an exciting life, I have to get excited. I have to risk. I have to put myself out there. It has to start inside me. The same goes for joy, happiness and simplicity. It all starts right here and now.
What about you? Will you take the leap?
