The Parable of the Sign
A man on a journey saw a sign. It was tall, broad, but plain and on it was painted, "The Kingdom of God is Within You." So the man looked all around the sign, under it, and above it--everywhere he could think of. He didn't see any kingdom, so he just wandered off and stopped looking for it.
A second traveler made his way to the sign and became inspired. He decided the sign was the best thing t Read more of this blog post »

“Is that "great cloud of witnesses" watching my way so as to judge or is it informing my way so that I may walk it? Do they hide the light so that I cannot see it or do they filter it so that its blaze will not blind me? Can a man see God face to face and live? Can I not see an eclipse better through a pinhole in a paper than without it?
We can't so much see light as we can see things because of it. So I do not meet God in a vacuum -- I meet Him in the world He has provided for me to meet Him in -- in a world of events and of places, of history (time and space), in a world of lives of people and their records of their encounters. I meet God in this world -- in the world of these things...
...and this is the world as best as I can remember it.”

The Paradoxical Commandments
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”

Hi, JoAnn. Thank you for keeping in touch! I'll look forward to seeing what you have to say in your review and also finding out more about what we have in common.
It's wonderful of you to take the time to let me know about your blog and to review my book there.
Best blessings,
