Giving for Christmas

 

No long speeches or talks about giving. I have a few free codes for the audio version of Impossible to Forgive. If you would like one just ask. First come first serve. I only ask you to listen to it.

The Next Step

 There are times I wonder what the next project I ought to work on should be. I know there are some stories I need to finish but what about something bigger. When you've blogged every chapter in the Bible and created 8 journals out of it for people to follow along with it does make you wonder, What could it be? 

The problem is that I do not have a host of people nor a publisher with big bucks encouraging me. So I could ask why try to do something else? What I have however is the knowledge that each of us should use the talents we have to the best of our abilities, even and I might say, especially when no one is watching and maybe even when no one seems to care. 

I won't lay out what I might be doing but I challenge you to rise to the best you can do. If no one notices remember God does. I can't say it will be easy or that it will always feel worth it (it doesn't), but regret is something I can guarantee if you don't try. 

So Go For it!

Now if you accept this challenge leave a message in the reply. You don't have to say what it is just that you are going to accept the challenge to stretch yourself and do something big. 

There are no words.

 

The Apostle Paul said in Romans to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. I was reminded today again there are times when the words are hollow and can even be detrimental. Sometimes speaking the truth in love means not speaking and just showing truth by loving. Especially when people are facing death or the loss of a loved one. 

Words are powerful so I am reminded that often the right thing to do is not to use them. Yes, the person may be okay eventually and God will work it for good. However, it isn't good now and they aren't okay right now. The words though true at the wrong time hurt. So for all of us silent love is the best.
