god first posts: Christmas Season and Forgiveness - 12/06/09 07:01 AM
It's heavy on my heart to include the topic of Forgiveness this Christmas season. It's important to remember to move on by forgiving others, but more importantly, forgive yourself for all the shortcomings you may have and all the mistakes you have made.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, I love to specifically highlight the things I am truly thankful for this year:

god first posts: Life could crumble if you are too good at something. They said Balance is Everything. - 11/15/09 06:28 AM
I never knew the effects of success until I found myself absorbing in it. I've always been a perfectionist and I've always challenged to do better than myself. I've never competed with others, just with me but somehow, raising the bar to soar higher had very much its own horrific side … (24 comments)

god first posts: Be Blessed Where You're At - 11/01/09 08:27 PM
I've heard many comments from some of the nicest Christian friends I have. I don't do this or, that to be blessed, but I still don't understand why I have to go through this "trial"...
On this Sunday God First post, I want to take time to ponder how much we … (14 comments)

god first posts: Some Bold, Some Quiet But All Equally Valued - 10/25/09 12:06 AM
These days, I'm really starting to get to know myself better. These 32/33 years formed the person that I am. Some good qualities and then some, not so good. What I realized with the not-so-good are sometimes "excuses" or better yet, "stories" I have created to make believe is true for … (13 comments)

Today's Sunday God First Post is based on Bible Scripture
Luke 14:28-30 that says, "But don’t
begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of
a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is
enough money to finish it? Otherwise,
you might complete only … (8 comments)

god first posts: What Is This Running Around is ALL About? - 08/23/09 10:58 PM
I for one is guilty as charge in this very own post of mine. The busy-ness of our lives with family and business always seem take presence over "stillness" and "being quiet" to make evaluations about what all this running around is all about.

god first posts: If you teach them, they will learn - 08/16/09 07:39 AM
It is my personal goal to teach my son nothing more than having a
big and mighty heart for the Lord. We learn to worship the Lord in
our home from a very early age. Sometimes, in the middle of the day,
we might just tune in to some special praises. … (13 comments)

god first posts: God as an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY provider - 08/09/09 01:54 PM
Did you realize that Jesus's 12 disciples are ordinary and imperfect men? He didn't chose "righteous" people or even rabbis at the temple. In fact, one was a unruly tax collector (Matthew), another a doubter (Peter) and even chose one who eventually betrayed Him (Judas). As Libba Tullos mentioned last … (6 comments)
