Through His Strength, For His Glory

Five Minute Friday (On Monday) – Release

Every Friday hundreds of bloggers write for five minutes without over-analyzing or over-editing.  It's a chance to write what is on our hearts and not worry so much about how we write.  Lisa Jo Baker provides a prompt.  One word.  And we all give our thoughts.  I love Five Minute Friday.  I can spend hours reading other people's blogs and being astounded at the beautiful way they weave words together.  And, because the biggest rule is that you must read and comment on the blog before yours, I ... read more

Five Minute Friday – Messenger

Messenger: one who brings a message. Messages can be life altering. They can bring hope and joy or devastation and sadness. Messages can be small and simple.  They can bring a smile to a face or tears to eyes.  Last night, as I read a message from a friend, I was reminded of how powerfully good human beings can be to each other.  In this instance, people came together and decided to be messengers.

Who you are is enough.

Who you are is enough. In fact, who you are is good. No, really. Are you perfect? No. Are there things you need to work on, to get make better? Yes. But who you are, right now, in this minute is enough. I get that this sounds like a cheesy speech, designed to make you pat yourself on the back and feel all warm and gooey inside.  It’s not. It’s a reality check. We spend years of our lives, and billions of dollars trying to make ourselves "better." Based on my experience, and that of those I know, ... read more
