Some thoughts about accepting and making the most of the life you have.

Am I making the best use of “the things of this world” or am I becoming too attached to them?

I need to understand what elements of complexity and complication are necessary and what can indeed be simplified.

Legalism is another word for laziness.

We are inclined to use a sliding scale in determining whose sins are worse and who is in and who is out!

These are values-based matters, not just new rules to follow.

God doesn’t want us to be redemptive OR righteous, but to be redemptive AND righteous!

There is a real shortage of people who will take the time and effort to be spiritual parents

Jesus was really clear about the danger and consequences of judging others based on outward appearance.

I want to be free from the foolishness of making comparisons on who’s doing the best job and who’s most effective.
