How do we get so caught up in things? I found myself engrossed in looking at my friends pictures on Facebook after posting my newest song. I have a lot of other things to do right now but.... "squirrel"!

We are so easily distracted today. Our options keep growing and our time is shorter and shorter on how much of it we can devote to the task at hand.

The recording is picking up in pace and quality, so I am pleased with the progress thus far. look for more posts on Facebook if you have time and give me an opinion. I need input on how it sounds, content and over all quality, so thanks ahead of time for your input.

The day is Sunday. Neither Di or I made it to church today. We both had separate issues and it just wasn't in the cards. It's very rare to miss, but I think it gave me a different perspective on how the week takes place and precedence over other things in our lives.

Changes are taking place everywhere. I see a difference in the 'landscape' in Washington and so hope that the lights are fully turned on to the happenings there. It's so overdue on getting our country back in God's hands and out of the wicked leaders control we have been presented with for so many years. One of the politicians, who will remain unnamed here, has been receiving a lot of 'favors' through the years. He must have a lot of 'leverage' on his counterparts to be able to get by with all that has transpired in his 40 plus career. God keeps good books, so I know the reckoning is coming. 

It really makes me take inventory more often knowing I too have to stand before him one day and give account of my mistakes and sins. I owe more than I could ever pay, but that's not how it works. God looks at the heart and I hope mine is favorable.

Thanks for stopping by again. I so long to be able to do this a lot more often. 

The Circle of Life

 What does it mean when we say. "we travel in  different circles?"

I really don't think it's a good thing to go in a circle all the time or only associate with 'certain'  people. We were made to relate to and with each other, even if we differ on various subjects. The Bible instructs us to "be at peace" with each other and put aside petty bickering and self seeking.

Should we be going 'in a circle'?

I thought the best way to go was 'straight ahead, not looking to the left or the right..."

Is that left, as in policy and politics ; or right? Is that meant to keep us with blinders on, with the potential of missing something or making the wrong choice on a matter, because it was 'out of sight' at the moment of contact? 

I get confused with man's definitions. God, on the other hand has clear instructions and positive input that lends itself to my being comfortable in my own skin. The 'closed off' minds are a bother to me. Not that we should be 'open minded' and operate under the premise that compromise is best. No. But compensation is quite the other thing. If we compensate for someone's 'need' it makes us peacemakers. If we 'contend' about petty things it makes us controlling and hard headed; backward if you will.

I make myself do things that I would really rather do another way. But if I'm going to be humble, I need to concentrate on doing just that.

Our lives are so short and filled with experiences. We should relish each one and treasure those experiences and have a log of positive things to look back on and know that we're in the center of His will and not on the fringe or even totally 'out of it'.

I pray that my messages reach the hearts and minds of those in need of encouragement and comfort, and that all I say and do is in God's perfect will.

Blessings are coming. Blessings are essential to our being; our 'well being' if you will. We have to be on the look out for the evil one's devices. He uses us against each other to bring about strife and division that tears us apart; especially when we are about to have a breakthrough. Let our 'yea' be 'yea' and our 'nay be 'nay' and let everything else fall away like the dross in the fire.

Nothing brings or grows the seed of bitterness faster than misunderstanding and avarice. We  'must' love one another, no matter the cost to our egos and feelings. Cast aside all malice and bring yourselves under control as the Holy Spirit instructs and places knowledge inside our spiritman.
