What I'm listening to now.......

This album "Passion:Awakening" has some really amazing songs and I have enjoyed them so much. My favorite right now is "Awakening"
by Chris Tomlin. We all need the Lord to awake our souls and cause us to desire His will in our lives. The only way our souls will be awakened is with the power of God. I encourage all of you to listen and then pray that God will awaken your soul. enjoy.......

Commitment

I am going to be making some changes in my life.....little things. But sometimes those little changes are challenging. I have committed this year to start on that book that I have always wanted to write, and I have started, I am praying that the Lord will guide me in this endeavor. So God can guide me I am studying everyday and spending time in His word.
I really try to have a quiet time at home in my chair, but that does not always happen, so being my techno self, I have the Bible and some tools on my i-Phone and take advantage of that at some point during the day. The other things I am working on are learning some Spanish and memorizing the book of James. Not much. Go with me and I get through 2012.....what are you committed to this year?

Eggshells and relationships

Yes, I know....where have I been? well,  time seems to get away from me really fast.  Work is hectic and takes up a lot of time, took a long weekend trip to visit my daughter.....regular stuff and before I know it here it is 3 weeks later and blogging is resuming.  So what does this have to do with eggshells and relationships?  As I have watched some marriages dissolve at work and friendships fade away, I began to realize that relationships are so precious.  If you drop an egg and it completely breaks, it is pretty much gone, the insides will run all over the counter or floor and you will not be able to recover any useful amount of the egg.  If you have a relationship that you "drop" and don't handle with care it will be wasted all over the place and you will probably not be able to recover it.  I tell you all this to say that isn't it amazing that we treat eggs that we can buy for less than $2 a dozen at the store than we treat the people that we love and call our friends?  What if we started treating one another carefully, like we would an egg? We might get along better and be happier.  Try it for a day or two.
