Restoring My Path

This is the first of a series on dealing with real issues of the life.  Depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, chronic pain are all issues that we are going to chat about over the next few episodes.  

Do we still have an excuse to be ingorant anymore?  Let's talk about it.

This special episode is my first interview for the podcast.  I am talking with my pastor, Michael about the dreaded subject of change.  When, why, the good, the bad, the ugly.  Just a raw discussion between friends.  

Just some thoughts about learning to listen to God's voice in our lives.  Hope this helps.

Have you ever been in a dark hole of wanting to give up, feeling that God and people in your life that should care don't?  What do you do?  How do you get through it?  Part one of two on how I got through a rough time this week.  It may help you.

Have you ever had a life changing event that made you lose focus on that which is good or important in your life?  I want to give you a few details on what has helped us as we have gone through this grief journey that has caused both my wife and me to lose focus on things.  

Have you tried to be something that you are not?  Have you ever tried to become like someone else?  How did that work out for you?  Just a story and some thoughts today.  

So you don't want to...Try

Have you ever gotten hurt from simply trying to be a help and now you don't want to be a helper anymore?  Been there...Done that. Can I help you with some words of help and encouragement?  

How do you balance the love for people and the like and dislike of people.  How should that effect the way we treat one another?  Just some helps from our house to yours.

Who are you? We live in a world of fakery and pretendery...are those real words?  They should be.  If we are truly going to help folks, we have got to stop putting on the air that we are something that we really aren't and just be real.  Let God take control and make you into something that you can be for Him and others.  

Who is that guy in the back that looks like he's just talking on the phone and never does anything that I can really see?  Is he really important to the story line?

What do you do when you get knocked down by a wave of life and before you can recover, another knocks you down again? 

Every find yourself having a bad day?  Maybe I can give you some things that help me.

Far too often we want just the good and best without any hardship.  Maybe some things here may help us through those rough and hard times.  

Why do we work so hard to get something, and then don't make the effort necessary to keep it, maintain it, and make it better?  Just a few thoughts for you this week.

We have got to stop as Christians attacking one another and get back to what Jesus commanded us to...love God, help others.

How do you keep going forward during times of hurt and pain.

Just a quick update on where we have been and not posting.  

Who in your life has been a great influence?  What have they taught you?  Today I'm sharing about one of those folks in my life and what we can learn from it.  

Don't forget to look for the good.  

How do you handle it if something isn't as obvious in scripture as you once thought?

Why are you listening if you are changing, doing, absorbing, applying?  Just a thought to help you face the week.  

Have you ever run out of grace?  Become grumpy, harsh, mean spirited, critical?  Let's see if we can help with that.

Do you really enjoy just sitting there?  When was the last time you really pushed yourself to to more, be more, do better?
