Light

2021-01-08T10:28:00.004-05:00

Consider this thought: “IF IT IS GOD YOU WANT, LOOK FOR THE LIGHT AND NOT THE DIAMOND. THERE ARE SO MANY FACETS, AND YET THE LIGHT IS NOT IN ANY OF THEM. THEIR BEAUTY LIES IN THEIR ABILITY TO REFLECT WHAT IS BEYOND THEM.”

Papa’s commentary on Jan 6, 2021 - America’s Lowpoint

2021-01-07T13:36:00.005-05:00

I have one mouth and two ears. Seems to me God intended I will listen twice before i speak once. Words matter. Words are action, influence, heal, hurt, encourage good and bad. Bad destroys. good heals, helps make life and country worth living and serving. Blame is dead end. Being responsible, learning from what is happening opens way to a better tomorrow and better people and better country. Now to listening. Seems we will be better off when we learn to listen to and understand each other’s points of view, get into each other’s seeing, respect. After all we will have stronger lives, families, communities, country when we see each other as opportunity to see what we are missing, to know what we do not know and to work together to build a more perfect..........place to live and love.,.

> A GENTLE ANSWER TURNS AWAY WRATH, BUT A HARSH WORD STIRS UP ANGER. (Proverbs 15:1)
> In my life I have sometimes used harsh words and to this day I regret having done so. They did not make things better. Most times I use kinder, gentler words but I can't remember them, neither do I feel regret.

Future... Hope

2020-06-08T09:50:00.001-04:00

I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE IN MIND FOR YOU, DECLARES THE LORD; THEY ARE PLANS FOR PEACE, NOT DISASTER, TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Let's not forget we belong and are loved. No one is excluded!!!

These Difficult Times

2020-06-06T08:26:00.001-04:00

The stories we read in the Bible are about the same things we are dealing with now. The stories we read in the history of mankind are about the same things we are dealing with now. The problem of sin and evil is the virus of human hearts, minds, emotions. I am not saying this to excuse anything. I am putting it in perspective. As long as humanity occupies this earth we will deal with these social, spiritual,physical, cultural diseases. It is not a trite thing that says those who do not learn from history will repeat it. Many will learn from all that is going on now. Many will not learn from it because they will prefer their prejudice and hatred. I have spent my life bearing witness to Good News that says this is God’s world. Goodness, love, human decency, kindness, forgiveness are fundamental to all creation. This is not escapist thinking. A thousand times plus over the 64 yrs we were married we said to one another, I am sorry I spoke and acted ugly. This is why our religion provides for times of confession, repentance, conversion. Humanity is flawed when left to our selves and we feed on rotten attitudes and harmful influences. As long as God does not give up, as long as the sun rises I will not give up, neither will I be destroyed by anger and bitterness when things are"going too hell in a basket.”

It is ok to have uncomfortable conversations. We need these conversations, and we can have them respectfully, patiently and loving. Human relationships are simple and complicated. Life is a contradiction many times….we have to deal with the good and bad in tension all along the way.

I am not saying all this to preach. I am venting my frustration, powerlessness, pain, sadness, and anger, and hope when we are in the middle of this mess.. And I am owning my own sinfulness.

Never quit,

Paps/dad

colorblind

> Looking ahead. Families can discuss the race crisis with their children and help toward a day when this will not be the sickness in our culture we are experiencing now. The crisis now is met with protest, but quiet conversations at home can teach kindness, love, respect and affirmation for every person. I heard one mother on tv say her child is colorblind and she wants her to stay that way.
>
> Of course this presumes parents are colorblind too and have warm, caring, wise hearts.

Wisdom

2020-05-09T12:11:00.001-04:00

IF ANY OF YOU LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK GOD, WHO GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL WTHOUT FINDING FAULT, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. (James 1:5). This was meaningful to me this morning.....

Prayer

> "ALMIGHTY GOD, TO YOU ALL HEARTS ARE OPEN, ALL DESIRES KNOWN, AND FROM YOU NO SECRETS ARE HID; CLEANSE THE THOUGHTS OF OUR HEARTS BY THE INSPIRATION OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT." (The Book of Common Prayer)

Rulers

2020-02-17T13:05:00.001-05:00

Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well…..Every government person has clay feet. That person needs our prayers that they will be accountable to Eternal Truth……Our country's presidents have struggles and they experience fear…..These are some thoughts gleaned from my readings…..every moment in every area of need and service is always in some state of unfinished…..

Experiences

2019-12-03T09:10:00.001-05:00

>
> "We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose."(Romans 8:28) Everyone's life is chocked full of experiences. Sometimes we may think our experiences are not worth much, but that is mistaken thinking. The great thing about God's creating power is that every experience we have is in some way useful to his purposes.

> What experiences or situations in your life can God use for God's purposes???? Maybe God would have you use them to help others???

Be Available

Risk Living

> "For whoever wants to save his/her own life will lose it; but whoever loses his/her life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 16:25)
>
> A simple reminder that if we seek in everything to gain our own benefit we will remain empty in our hearts.
> If we give everything we are and have to making the world a better place for everyone, we will be full of blessings in our own hearts.

Truth

2019-10-24T13:18:00.001-04:00

>
> Dishonesty, craftiness, devious.Words that speak to human relationships and transactions that have a hidden agenda not in the best interest of anyone but the deceiver. Living this way will cause a person to constantly look over his/her shoulder fearful of who is behind. This is unhealthy, destructive, wrong. Our Creator designed us to deal in truth, goodness, kindness, honesty, love, service to others and being good stewards of ourselves…….
