What is our choice going to be?... 



We are confronted daily with many situations calling for us to make a choice. 

What roads to take to get to our destination, what to eat, what to wear, how to respond to questions, and so on. 

Most of the time we know the choice to make based on our experience and knowledge, so it does not require much thought or extra effort on our part. 

But what about those times when we must make a choice between what’s in our head versus what’s in our heart? 

You know, those times when temptation of the moment attempts to entice you into going against what you know to be right. 

In my case the temptation to gorge myself on food I should not be eating has now caused me to have to make some life changes. 

These are the choices that require not only thoughts to think it through, but also help from the Holy Spirit living within us. 

How are you dealing with those times?.. 

Remember, isolation only fuels the temptation…

Check your experience… 

If tempted, we recoil from it as if from a hot flame.” Big Book pg. 84 

Lord, let us look temptation square in the eye and know that You will show us the way around it and away from it, AMEN. 

"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.  And God is faithful.  He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.  When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." 1 Corinthians 10:13 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

What’s your motive?... 


This was given to me years ago as I was learning how to pray and I still use it to this very day. 

The suggestion is to pray to WANT what I GET and not to GET what I WANT. 

I can’t tell you how many times over the years I have become confused and have prayed 

TELLING God about a desired specific outcome with great detail, based on my thoughts, emotions, and motives on getting that specific result 

instead of becoming open and willing to learn God’s will for me and the lesson I need to learn for the situation causing me to pray. 

When I pray for understanding and wisdom, things go well. 

When I pray for specific things focusing only on how those things will make me feel, well,… 

I am still waiting…

Think about that for a moment and please… check your experience… 

“…praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” Big Book pg 59 

Lord, let us pray to understand Your will for us in the requests we make instead of demanding our own way, AMEN. 

“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” James 4:3 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

 What’s on your agenda?.. 


We are busy folks and we rely on schedules, calendars, appointments, and other tools to keep us on track and on time. 

It’s a part of our lives and culture. 

Have you ever taken a moment to consider who or what drives our need to have these daily, weekly, and monthly agendas? 

Sure, I get it, we need to stay organized and we all are juggling many balls in order to make this life thing work. 


But wouldn’t it be nice if instead of just our yearly vacations, we could set our own agendas according to our spiritual needs? 

It’s part of a healthy routine to carve out time for daily physical fitness as well as spiritual time. 


So….what is on your agenda today?.. 

Check your experience… . 

“For the first time, he lived in conscious companionship with his Creator.” Big Book pg 56 

Lord, let us set part of our daily agenda to spend time with You and Your Word, AMEN. 

“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure” Ephesians 1:5 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
