Picture the scene with me. It's from C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian. The four children, Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy are traveling in unknown places, trying to get their bearings. Basically - they're lost. But Lucy keeps seeing Aslan when no one else does. They think she's making it up . . . or maybe she's crazy. Nevertheless, Lucy is the one who gets messages and directions from Aslan. In fact, Lucy and Aslan are friends. It seems she's nurtured the ability to see what others don't. Incidentally, this ability opens the whole universe to her imagination and her life purpose. Let's explore how to be more like Lucy. Read More ...

Hypothetical situation. So, you meet someone. Perhaps you have conversations about strengths and weaknesses as you get to know this new person. It would be rare - but what would you think if that person said, "I don't have any weaknesses?" Jaw drop! That's a pretty big wow! A person with no weaknesses! Even Jesus had weakness as a human being - not weakness of character or morality but of learning, growing, and His unique skill sets. Nevertheless, as He grew up into manhood, He learned about areas He did well in - and areas He needed to build strategies to strengthen weakness. That does not mean Jesus sinned. It means He was/is like you and me in every way - fully human, while also being fully God. Let's explore how to build strategies to strengthen weakness and follow the path Jesus took. Read More ...

Generations is not only the title of a Star Trek movie. It's also an important dynamic for every individual. Whether or not you are a Star Trek fan, you must agree there is something important about generations that take over a family, country, business, royal line, or franchise. The generations can be blood relatives or simply new replacements. Regardless, generations can either be good or bad in motive and conduct. Today's content focuses on four good generations with one exception. It's fascinating. Read More ...

When you think back into your childhood, what memories come to mind? Good ones? Not-so-good ones? Maybe you remember events that sculpted or changed your life. Perhaps something "rocked your world." It might be a special activity is your first thought.  (I'll share one of my memories directly below.) But, I'm guessing you remember many ordinary days filled with ordinary things. Interestingly, this sets the stage for most of life. We spend long stretches of time waiting and listening for what comes next. Additionally, waiting and listening directly impact all your relationships. Read More ...

Your Incredible Design

Your Incredible Design

2024-02-0518:06

Look around! Everything has some kind of design and order. Calendars, language, nature, science, and medicine. Then consider fabrics, computers, business, and farming. Design includes appearance, function, and natural / man-made capacity. The world - in fact, the entire universe - overflows with amazing design. Incidentally, you are no exception. Life is more meaningful, pleasant, and manageable when you embrace your incredible design. Let's explore how to do that. Read More ...

When you were a little kid, did you ever dress up or pretend? Maybe you "borrowed" your mom or dad's clothes, feeling grown-up as their apparel hung bulkily on your small frame. Perhaps you confiscated a large bath towel to be your super hero cape. What about adapting odds-n-ends laying around to dress up like community professionals - firemen, policemen, doctors, scientists, store clerks, movie stars, prince(ess), etc.? But have you ever dressed up to get better at being you? Let's explore this fascinating idea - getting better at being you. It's a healthy way to live. Read More ...

Do you remember that funny scene in Shrek? The donkey is behind a group of people in a crowd. Shrek is going to choose a companion. And as Shrek considers his options, all you see is the donkey jumping up - over and over in the background. You don't see him - and then you do! Over and over. As he jumps high enough to be seen above the group, he's yelling something - "Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!" Interestingly, all people feel this way at times. Subsequently, it's noteworthy and meaningful to remember God purposefully picks you. So what does "Pick me!" really look like? Let's explore together. Read More ...

If ever there was an Old Testament story that beautifully exemplifies the Spirit of Jesus, this is it! Not only does it show a man's healthy choices and conduct. It also portrays the very spirit of Jesus Christ in a person who lived long before Jesus came to earth as the God-man. And further, this story is a strong statement - you and I can ask for a double portion of the nature and character of Christ if we fully surrender to God. I'm sure you'll find this story interesting and encouraging. Read More ...
