Okay, I’ve had to rewrite this a couple of times. I’m just a little bit peeved. I finally figured out how to unlink my blog from facebook as apparently that was causing some people some problems.
First of all, this is MY blog. This is the place where I can be myself… or so I thought. [...]

Walls
So, I’ve been thinking about my last blog and about Jaimee’s comment on facebook. I think God is using a current struggle to help me realize something about myself that I never saw before. I am extremely thankful for everything I have been through, even if it was extremely difficult at the time. Why? Because [...]

No Honor
I was reading about when Jesus entered his hometown and could do very little there because the people, his family and the people he grew up around, didn’t have faith in him. This really made me think about my own life and the people around me, particularly my family. There have been several instances in [...]

No Rewards for Just Showing Up
“Jesus didn’t offer words of praise for people who used their talents and gifts to ‘just get by’…….. What Jesus was getting at is that there are no rewards for ‘just showing up.’ Praise, promotion, and reward are given to those who effectively use what they’ve been given to accomplish the missions they’ve undertaken.”

It’s A Gift
I am reading a book right now, called “The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived.” It’s really good. Anyway, it was talking about the man who was blind from birth, who Jesus healed. They explained how the people thought that the man was being punished for either sins he would commit in his future or because [...]
