To Fear or Not to Fear
There are two types of fear: healthy fear and toxic fear. If you happen upon a mama grizzly bear with her cubs on a hike in the mountains, and you are not afraid, then you are either crazy, or the “Grizzly Man.” And we know what happened to the Grizzly Man. They put both his…

Diary Notes of a Recovering Pharisee
I watched a TV show the other night about a group of brain surgeons. One Asian doctor, Dr. Sung Park, is a genius and speaks very broken English. When patients ask him if they could die during one of his surgeries, he says, “I don’t do die. I do live.” In this particular episode a…

The Eyes Have It
I was not expecting it. Wasn’t looking for it. Then all of a sudden… WHAM! The routine of my life was detoured down a road I did not desire to take. It was silly how it happened. I reached over into the back seat of the car to get the proof of The Graceline for…

In Spite of Fear
They were on their way up to Jerusalem with Jesus leading the way. The disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid (Mark 10:32). Dismal times… uncertain days… fear and trepidation. Not much has changed in two thousand years, has it? Many times Jesus said to His disciples, “Fear not.” Then one day, He…

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”—Proverbs 18:31 I bet you didn’t realize that you have a lethal weapon in your mouth. That is what God says. He, most of all, knows the power of the spoken word. He spoke the Word and all…

Are You a Pathfinder or a Trailblazer?
Consider, if you will, the postage stamp. Its total usefulness consists in its ability to stick to one thing until it gets to its destination. I have not looked lately but has the word, commitment, been deleted from the dictionary? Even postage stamps are useless without commitment, or as I like to call it…. stick-to-it-ivity.…

Torch the World!
What is the difference between knowledge and enlightenment? When you have knowledge, you use a torch to light the way. When you are enlightened, you become the torch. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor…

The Pain of Change
Life change will never occur until the pain of staying where you are is greater than the pain of going where you need to go. On Friday I was diagnosed with diabetes. My A1c was high along with my liver functions. My doctor put me on medication and a radical diet change. It was a…

A Matter of Perspective
A few years back I read a book entitled: ONE WORD THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I’ve found that God has His word for each of us every year. As we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus, we pass through stages of life. Each of those stages requires us to focus…

I, Hereby, Resolve…
It’s time for New Year’s 2019 resolutions. Here is the Top Ten for 2018: 45% of Americans make resolutions. 38% never make resolutions. Only 8% of those who make them actually achieve their goal. 39% of those in their twenties achieve their goals while only 14% of those over fifty are successful. People who explicitly…
