Changes occur every day. We can either pitch a fit about them or adjust to them.

The new thing I warned about this morning was that Swirly was going to Q for me as his make up VQ. He had an accident last night and couldn’t make it. I believe it was a blessing in disguise because he shared his plans with me and it will be tough if he ever gets to do it!

BOM: Living out of a condition of Fear.

Life comes at us fast. We may not even realize we are constantly living out of a condition of fear.  Fear of failing.  Fear of being hurt.  Fear of missing out on something.  Another way to explain this condition is “anxiety”.   We’ve all experienced anxiety in different areas of our lives. Financial anxiety; will we have enough money to pay the bills, to go on a vacation, to pay for kid’s braces? Emotional (relationships) anxiety; Will I ever be happy? Are my kids happy?  My wife? Will I end up being alone? Work and Career anxiety: Am I on track? Am I stuck in a dead-end?  Do I have security?  Does my boss even know I’m here?  House, Cars, Kids, Church, Family, School, Work, etc. OVERWHELMED!

What’s the answer??   It’s right there staring us in the face – FAITH.  The Third F!  Let your Faith be bigger than your Fear.  Go read Hebrews chapter 11.  Amen, Brothers.

Watch your Tongue!

Your Words Matter
James 3:1-12 – The Power of our Words
Proverbs says “The tongue has the power of life and death,” (Proverbs 18:21a). Every encounter is an opportunity to either speak life or death into the life of the people we are with. Which will you choose?

BOM:
We live in an action-packed/fast paced society where we want everything quickly. Today was a Baseball/Spring Training workout. People don’t like baseball- it’s too slow, too boring… look for the details of life that need and deserve your attention. Enjoy the moment, the details of life. Slow down and be in the game!
