Drifting Away

2635) It’s funny how quickly songs can come to mind, and in my head, I can even hear the words and music. As I read Hebrews 2:1, a song titled Drift Away popped into my head. Unlike the song, the author of Hebrews tells us we need to watch that we don’t drift away from

Standing Firm

2634) Love is a wonderful thing, but it can be complicated in this life. There are always misunderstandings, bad priorities, changes in perspective and sometimes terrible choices. Yes, love can survive these things, but even the good of love among all members of this life will end in death (unless the Lord comes first). Psalm

Seeds of Empathy

2633) Empathy is important. Let’s define it, thanks to dictionary.com.

2629) Someone, recently, took advantage of me professionally.

2627) Sometimes I think about the fact that though my life has touched many, in a minimal number of years what I have said or done in my life, my words and actions will dissipate into the funnel of time. I’m okay with that. After all, there have only been a limited number of people

Face to Face

2626) There are so many sayings that involve the face. Face the music. A straight face. Poker face. Face up to something. There are many more. I wonder why there are so many sayings with the word, face in it. Could it be that the face is very important? It holds recognition. It reflects a
