Wilderness experience

Some people call it mid life. Others wilderness experience.

What is it anyway? Abscence of certainty. Presence of uncertainty. Abscence of clarity and direction. But instead of confusion and erraric focus.

Sustaining

How can you give love when you dont have it.

Foundation

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Act 3 –

Love a person for who they are, not for what they have become.

Altering behavior

I think it is totally manipulative for someone to alter his or her behavior simply to please another party.

As a person with integrity, we should operate out of our core being. Who we are. Our true north, our compass. Our being, preceeds our doing.

Routine and Golf

Habits define a person.

The mechanical routine of a person defines what one values and priorities. There comes a time when the habit is so ingrained it can already be executed without much thought.

Like in golf, developing a good habit allows a person to improve the probability of hitting the ball and landing it on the desired spot.

So much can be learned on the game called life!

Jan 13 – old connections

There are some merits in restoring old connections. Depending on the foundation, it can make or break a partnership.

The caveat of revisiting old connections are : it may also unravel old hurts, old grudge, old bad blood, old bad vibes name it.

Of course one has to handle it well in order for the relationship to move forward.

Sermon: jan 11 – the chosen path

Sermonic Idea:
—————-
“It takes your knowing to determine you’re going.”

Key points
———–
1. Sin is progression – walk, stand, sit.
2. Firm roots hold strong trees. Yields fruit in season and leaf does not wither
3. Follow and be blessed.

Psalm 1:1-6 NIV
[1] Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

[2] but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

[3] That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

[4] Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

[5] Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

[6] For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Playing with fire

You cant play with fire and expect not to get burned!

2nd half

As a coach most strategy adjustments begin during the 2nd half of a ballgame.

Players stats are read. And so are game stats. The competition is likewise studied. Adsljustments, modifications, alignments and when all has been said and done hearts of men are engaged to COMMIT to winning!

Words of inspiration follows…. something like when you are holding the ball and you have 2 choices to make, if to pass, dribble or shoot. Choose to find the open man and closest to the hoop.
