Sometimes you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. That's why the grass always looks greener on the other side. Familiarity breeds comtempt. You get stuck in a rut--which is just a grave with the ends kicked out--and you start to feel like where you're at is where you're going to be forever....

There's no place like home. And that's because home is where your heart is. Home is where your family is. I often find myself thinking of the cross, and my biggest takeaway is always the truth that Jesus' arms were spread wide. He wasn't on the cross condemning people. He was on the cross forgiving...

I said there were two pictures of someone realizing that the grass ISN'T greener on the other side. We looked at the Love Slave. The man who COULD leave his master's house, but chose NOT to. He nailed his ear to the door and heard the heartbeat of God. Now we look at a parable Jesus told. Commonly...

Home is where your heart is. And when you're home, you know there's nowhere else you'd rather be. Just like the Love Slave in Deuteronomy chapter 15. He was given his freedom, but he knew just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you HAVE to. And then he had his ear nailed to the door. And...

A few days ago I said I was going to Rant about the Love Slave. But then my mind did what it does and went in a completely different direction. But I still want to explore this, because I think it's important that we understand that the grass is NOT always greener on the other side. Sometimes the...

Here's how powerful belief is: What you believe is inside you... comes out. The truth is the truth (always has been and always will be) but YOUR truth is what defines your reality. YOUR truth is what manifests in your life. If you believe you're free... you'll walk in newness of life. If you...

Unless something is already true... you can't MAKE it true. That's like trying to get a square peg to fit in a round hole. It just won't work. That's like trying to earn a gift. A gift is freely given, and must be received. It can't be earned. So when we're talking about Spiritual things--the...

There's something below the surface. Deep down inside. The inner man. The hidden man of the heart. The Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of Love. But so many times we're afraid to scratch the surface. We accept what's right in front of us even as we lament that it's no good. A little while ago I was...

I don't necessarily like to start a Rant with a defintion, but I also think it's important to know what we're talking about. So stick with me. Dictionary.com defines "Manifestation" as, "Outward or perceptible indication; materialization." Which kind of goes right along with the Spiritual-ism,...

I want to work on this idea for a while, because I think it's important. Ready? The truth is true. Period. Now I know that sounds like a, "Duh!" moment. But it always seems like we're trying to MAKE the truth true. Like we have this idea of how things are "supposed" to be, and when they aren't that...
