The Will

Your spirit knows.

Your soul knows.

Your body knows.

Your heart knows.

Your head knows.

Your hand knows.

Your will overthrows.

A Prayer

May you never be faced with circumstances that help you learn how strong you truly are.

And if those circumstances come, may your strength be enough to carry you through.

Amen.

Faith versus Faith-Language

When you are in the presence of someone who walks with God, you will experience a peace within like no other.

When you are in the presence of someone who uses God, you will experience a storm within like no other.

You Really Don’t

You really do not have to explain yourself.

Let time bring the truth to light.

Capture It

The tragedy of death is the many parts of those left behind that will no longer be expressed.

Death is not just the loss of a whole one but the loss of many parts.

Before you lose the part of you that only that loved one can reveal, capture it, store it: in writing, in film, in art, for memory is a poor store of memories.

Wisdom

To learn without experiencing is insight.

To experience before learning is reflection.

To know when each is required is wisdom.

Greatness

I have observed that you don’t  do great things because you want to do great things.

You do great things because you disproportionately focus on doing a not-so-great thing well.

Enough

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

Unlike a star’s twinkle, I can hold this twinkle in my hands.

A bowed head might miss a star’s twinkle, but a firefly’s twinkle meets my gaze wherever it rests.

There might be no stars in our night sky, but we have fireflies that twinkle.

And that is enough for the night.

A Listening Ear

The problem is you always offer solutions.

The solution is to offer a listening ear.

The Enemy

If there is anything to learn from stories, it is this: the enemy is always so close it is near impossible to see them for who they are.

And there’s no one closer to you than you.
