What on earth are we here for? It’s an important question. Discovering the correct answer to that question is central to creating a life strategy as it gives our life meaning—it gives us a Purpose. Once we understand our purpose, we then can discern the best way to accomplish it. Using our Life Strategy Project plan or let’s now call it our Life treasure map, we have our Current State which is where we are right now. We discussed in…..
Do you feel lucky? It’s hard to go wrong starting a blog where you quote Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry. Luck is a valuable, perhaps even preferred quality as reflected in the saying, “I’d rather be lucky than good.” In today’s movies, virtually all heroes have superpowers and in the movie Dead Pool 2, the power of luck reached superpower status. But this is the real world. One definition of luck is being prepared when an opportunity arises. Others have used…..
Greetings fellow travelers on our metaphorical “Life is a Journey so what’s the Best Way to Travel?” adventure. We’ll invoke a little Navy lingo and conduct a SITREP (an acronym for Situation Report) to perform a quick review of the salient points we have covered in these last few weeks. We started with some logical “If statements” about the existence of God, an eternal life, and the potential impact our current actions have on our future state. Through science, we…..
What profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? What’s the price of a soul? What’s the value of eternal life? Which path shall I choose? This is not Game of Thrones where multiple kingdoms are at your disposal to selectively place your allegiance. There exists but two camps for you to dwell while on this earth and they each have their respective destinies in the life hereafter. You are either a follower of Jesus or…..
Greetings all! If you’ve been following along, we’ve been pursuing a theme that life is a journey and our mission is to discover, “What’s the best way to travel?” We then discussed some strategy-defining “If statements” and evaluated their merit. We’ve concluded that the evidence is overwhelming that there is a Personal Creator of the universe, aka God, Who offers us an eternal life through belief in His Son, Jesus, and that our best strategy for our life’s journey is…..
Greetings dear readers! We’ve been pondering the metaphor that life is a journey and our goal is to determine the best way to travel. To grasp the landscape and the rules of the road for our journey we posited a series of If questions (see “The Big IFs” blog) which basically stated that if there is a Creator of the universe that offers us a wonderful eternal life and if how we live now affects our future status, then how…..
Do you believe in God? Why or why not? What reason would you give for your belief? Because the Bible tells you so? What else you got? “…Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” – 1 Peter 3:15 In the previous blog, we made some rather big (as in highly important and critical) “If” statements that require verification……
If we are to build a life strategy or to define a successful life, where do we start? The question can be overwhelming. It’s like staring at a blank canvas with painter’s block (if painters suffer the same mental dilemma/state that writers often do). Fortunately, we can bring in some consulting advice to help us frame our approach. In every project or endeavor, be it small or great, there are three major components: a Current State (Where you are), a…..
The oft-used metaphor “Life is journey” is perhaps now considered overly cliché; nevertheless, it’s true. Like a road trip off into the unknown, our lives can have many hills and valleys, lefts, rights, long flat straightaways where we can see far ahead and tight blind curves where we have no idea what’s next. The road can be wide or narrow; conditions can be wet or dry, smooth, rough, slick, bumpy and lurking with potholes. Beware those lurking potholes. In our…..
Heaven will be such an incredible experience! In the meantime, our goal and our prayer is to proclaim and promote God’s will on earth as it is in Heaven. For we know that if the earthly tent [our physical body] which is our house is torn down [through death], we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5:1 Amplified Bible There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave…..
