Full of It part 1

I know I preach and Rant about some stuff that seems "out there." Non-traditional. Non-conformist. And I know some people think I'm full of it. But that's the cool part. I AM full of it! And so are you! Filled to overflowing with the only "it" that matters! Filled to overflowing with the love of...

Connection and timing. Those two things, more than anything else (except maybe communication, but we'll get to that), define our relationships. And thanks to the timing of the cross we have been equipped and empowered to connect with each other. On the only REAL level that matters. Not surface...

Jesus came to show us the Father. The FATHER. Because He wanted us to experience His abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life. And the definition of that life is found in John 17:3, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast...

There's no greater bond than that of a Father and His Son. There's a song lyric that says, "Daddy's don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end. Amen." And that's what Jesus came to show us. That's the revelation of Jesus. A Father loving His Son. And that's why it's...

I think the biggest relationship killer in the world is when we try to get someone to be who we want them to be, instead of letting them be who they are. Instead of LOVING them FOR who they are. I think disappointment always follows this kind of unrealistic expectation. We want someone to be...

Jesus didn't come to give humanity a religion. In fact, it seems like the only people He ever got annoyed with were the religious folk. No, He came to show us the Father. He came to bring us into RELATIONSHIP with the Father by showing us that we are God's beloved Son in whom He is well pleased....

It's about moving forward. Upward and God-ward. And you can't do that if you give up every time something doesn't go your way. Remember the verse I quoted yesterday, Luke 9:62, "And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."...

One of the things "they" say is, "Don't trade what you want most for what you want now." And while I don't always agree with "them," I think this one is pretty good. Because, while it might be harder to do, enduring until the end will pay off in the long run. That's why I always say, "If you want...

Love never fails... love lasts forever... because love endures. Love is unconditional. It doesn't waver when things "look" bad. It doesn't give up when things don't go it's way. In fact, love doesn't demand it's own way. Love isn't about GETTING. Love IS giving! But when it's people doing the...

In real estate it's, "Location location location." In relationships it's, "Timing timing timing." Sometimes you're the right person in the right place... at the wrong time. Which is to say, sometimes no matter what you do, you can't always get what you want. But, as the Rolling Stones put it, if...
