Confused?

January 2, 2009 General

It's easy to get that way. With all the information available to us – radio, TV, internet, newspaper, teachers, preachers and friends, it's a simple matter to lose direction.

Remember "My mind's made up – don't confuse me with the facts"? Well, the other day, looking through a magazine, found "DLTIYHBTIYN" in an ad from Computer Associates. If you aren't into computers and computer software, they are not the main point of this – it's "DLTIYHBTIYN" that stuck out.

Don't Let The Information You Have Bury The Information You Need

Unless you really know, how do we know what we know is true or false. To top it off, if that's the basis for how we live, then I think "we got a problem."

Wrap Your Mind Around This

January 1, 2009 Faith

The facts are always confusing. Moreso when we have to dig a little and get out of what we call our "comfort zone." That was one of the things that John talked about in his second letter. In effect, he said "some of you walk in truth" and "some don't."

He did not actually say "some don't", but that has to be implied from the words "some do." The amazing thing is that he did not harp on the "don't" people. He marched right on with the instructions to keep going the way you "learned." More correctly, he said "keep walking the way you learned to walk" (living the way you learned to live).

It's like a basketball coach who talks to the team at half time and says "You're ahead, just keep shooting and defending like you have been and you will win." In other words, keep doing the right thing!

Happy New Year!

May 2009 be filled with many good and beautiful moments for you and your family. May we all find the time and courage to continue to stand for what is good and beautiful. May God's blessings pour down upon us as individuals, as nations and as His creation. In 2009, seek His favor.
