Too many Helpers

I used to say this all the time in the context of finances, but my recent contemplation of God's role in our lives has broadened it to "No one is going to DO your life."

God and many people want to help you make decisions, but you are the one who will have to decide. God and many people will provide resources and gifts, but you are the one who has to accept them. YOU have to live YOUR life (otherwise we wouldn't call it YOUR life, eh?).

I sing b/c...

It's always interesting how the leaders at weekend service will try to prompt those gathered for worship. While there may be lots of good/better/best ideas out there, my thinking on singing on Sunday morning is reduced to an old song, "I sing because I'm happy; I sing because I'm free."

You're full of...

How can God fill me when I'm full of myself?

The life you choose

We all have choices to make. One that has confronted me recently has been whether to choose an Easy Life or a Great Life. Which will you choose?
