Healing Life's Hurts

As I sit here with the morning sun shining in my window, I can not say that I am perfectly content with whom I am. As I sip my morning coffee that my daughter made me, I am thinking about people and of life. I speak up, even when it feels uncomfortable and I give so much to other people, very seldom asking for anything in return. So why is it I'm sitting here feeling uncomfortable that I was outspoken and told someone that they were rude. Why do I need to now try so hard for their ...

What Is The Value In Wanting To Accomplish Something?

What Is The Value In Wanting To Accomplish Something? By Darryl R. Robinson When I listen to people tell me about some of the things they want to do, I pause for two reasons. One is the fact that I'm listening and watching them to see if they are serious within themselves. Secondly, if it's something they really believe that they can accomplish. Can dreams come true? You better believe they can. But life is much more than dreaming. It's about desire and believing. What is it that YOU desire? ...


Neutralize the negatives!

/p> We are repeatedly told that we should forget about unpleasant experiences (failures) and focus on pleasant ones (successes). I agree totally with the last part of this proposition but only partly with the bit on forgetting about your unpleasant experiences. Rather, I think unpleasant experiences must be confronted and "neutralized", otherwise they will always be lurking in your subconscious, ever ready to pounce upon you. Don't delude yourself into thinking that they can simply and safely ...


Seek Me First

If from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. But unto the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; ...


A small piece of carpet

Have you ever noticed how the way you feel about yourself sometimes depends on whether or not you get confirmation of your value from others? When you enter into challenging situations with a positive self identity you will discover that you are living your life with a greater sense of enjoyment and fulfillment. I have learned a lot about nurturing a positive identity of love and appreciation from the man who taught me to train dogs. Dogs and humans both have a "self identity" that ...

What's holding you back? What is it that seems to have come between yourself and your dreams of better relationships, better finances, better jobs, better health, etc., etc.? Why isn't God helping you? You cry out every night...God! I can't take it anymore. This job is driving me nuts!... My back is killing me!... How do I pay these bills!... What do I do?! What are the Magic Words that you have to say in order to get Gods attention? What is it that you can do to prove your worth to God so ...


How to avoid the pitfalls of gambling

Gambling is an activity full of fun and enjoyment, if you treat it with respect. This is the reason why alot of people now chose online gambling over casino gambling ? it is easier to step back from the computer, in your own home, than it is to step back from the action in a casino. In a casino is easy to get carried away with the atmosphere and the adrenaline, whereas in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by your possessions and your loved ones, it's easier to be realistic and decide ...


Speak up or Sit Down

Last night the phone rang; my wife said, "I hope it's for you". When I answered, the caller asked, "Ray, would you speak to the Lions Club next month?" First my gut said, "No"; however, my head said, "Do it". So, one month from next Tuesday, I stand in front of 20 men and women as their evening speaker. They will have just enjoyed dinner with before and after dinner drinks. What a group: stomachs full and heads mellow. Just how will I do it? These guidelines help me prepare, and may guide you ...


Sausage Ragu and Mollydooker

For the original article, go here. Mollydooker 2007 Two Left Feet South Australia Red Wine, with a rating of 93 from Parker Momma ExplainsGreat wine does not have to cost you a great price but it does have to deliver flavor and balance. Somehow Sarah and Sparky Marquis are able to do just that. I especially like their 2007 Two Left Feet with my sausage ragu, but be warned, there are decent alcohol levels in this wine so go easy on the red pepper flakes. I also am a big fan of their Boxer wine ...
