                             The Mirror This reflects who I am.  My past is my mirror and out of this mirror we can both learn from.  Whatever I share in these blogs I had to experience it myself. Here it is… I ran from God in my past but no matter how far I ran away from him .   I find that in the end I could not hide. I had to acknowledge my problems before him, even though he knows everything. For my own good I had to confess my faults to go forward.  Something similar is  taught everywhere in self-improvement books?   Well, it comes from the Bible. Whenever, someone runs and hide from God they run into problems, severe problems like all kinds of addictions and other sins.   The only answer is to run toward him and be loved by him. You, who have never been loved.    Like the Beatles’ song: “All you need is Love”.   It is true to a point, but sex is not love.   In a marriage setting, it is an expression of love.    Sex was created by God for marriage as a blessing.   It is not

  Exciting Growth The hope of exciting growth always comes after strong hardship, does it not? Here in the part of Canada where I live, we have the harshest of winter (-40’C) which is like the hardship to the ground and us.   Then comes Spring in all its beauty and elegance.   A short Spring but nice and then now we are in the Summer which is a moment of growth for the fruits and plants and vegetables.   Notice that before the period of growth and renewal we have the hardship of Winter.   It is the same in life.   Our lives are made up of seasons and years and months.   We have weeks and days and hours.   Everything is broken up in stages and it is up to us to make these seasons valuable.   Those breaks count.   Make your life count but break it up in stages.   Plan accordingly and carefully.   This is the advice of a 66-year-old senior who has experienced it.   I am not all wisdom, but I have some wisdom. You cannot live your life twice but make it count the first time.   Save mon

  Moment of Truth (Luke 23:38-43)   Many times, while Jesus was condemned, he was challenged on his ability to save himself if he was…the king or the Messiah (v.38,39) Because of ignorance, many did not know the purpose of Jesus was to save the world, namely you and me.   He came as the Saviour of the world, and he was not going to deviated from that mission.   Now that he was on that Cross with some criminal, he had to die to fulfill that mission to completion.   This was nothing more than a temptation from Satan to stop him short of his goal.   Do you find that Satan tries that one on you too stopping you short of your goal sometime? You see, you are not alone in your temptations, the whole world and especially Jesus had to go through them as well. The one criminal who was crucified with Jesus did not fear God or respected him at all.   He was the one who challenged Jesus to save himself if he was the Messiah. But the other criminal acknowledged Jesus’s innocence and was sa
