Little Becomes Much


Arizona Barrel Cactus Bloom


Even in the harsh desert conditions... where the suns scorch
causes the mercury to climb...nature amazes!
In our fast paced world of electronic connection's...spring break gives us a time to refresh and recharge...and reflect on the beauty we usually fly by...if we pay attention!

The desert and parched land will be glad...it will burst into Bloom! ...Little becomes much in the Father's Hands...

Whats YOUR Style?

 Everyone has a preference!
As different a whats in the cup!

If you look in every Coffee cupboard,
in every coffee room, in every work place across America...

In every Office, every School, Church,
Hospital, Garage, Lunch Box and Limo...

You WILL find the same thing!

A wide variety of vessels...

We promote everything!
From our favorite team...to our personal style!


No matter how you like your morning mo-jo...what you drink it out of is just as different!  But is it?

If you think about it...no matter the size shape or style...no matter the logo or player number, its purpose is the same...to dispense whats inside the cup!

Zest for life or Doom and gloom?

So whats in your cup?

Jesus said I set before you Life and Death...Choose Life!
      My cup over-flows

Awesome Reminder of Hope



These beautiful Daffodils are one of the first flowers to "Spring" up... Is Hope "Springing up in You"?

When I wrote my profile, and
started blogging, I said I would
write more about life, and..."What do you want to do,
  when you grow up?"

Well, life after "stroke" doesn't
mean life is over for... It just means I have a "New Normal".  I lost some abilities...My hands don't function the same...my balance isn't what it was...and if you look at my MRI...I should be bed bound and so much worse...

But God IS good and ...I'm doing what I couldn't find time to do before! I appreciate everyone so much more, and find love everywhere I look.

So when life gets you down...you can't seem to find
hope...consider the things we usually take for granted...

Spring flowers are an Awesome Reminder of Hope!
  
 Psalm 42:11  Hope in God...
Isa 53:5  by his stripes we are healed...

go west young man?

 
GO WEST YOUNG MAN !

Isn't that kinda of an "old school" battle cry? ...

"West is Best"...Historic route 66...

The Mother Road...The Great American Highway...

It was the first all-weather highway linking Chicago and Los Angeles spanning 7 states.

A trail many have uncovered their motorcycles and
Vintage classics to drive all the way to "the end"...
It's pretty much a die-hard car guy thing...Most say It's the "only" way to really see the "country". There are all kinds of tour options to satisfy your "road trip" pangs!

I guess its a "joy in the journey" thing...not me... 
give me the car keys AFTER I get off the airplane :)


Santa Monica Pier

But... just what Will you
find once you reach the end?

Jesus said...
But the gateway to life is narrow and the road is difficult, and only few find it.
Matt 7:14

The Dream Thief?

Just "Daydreaming?"

I remember taking this picture of my son...

He is as deep in thought as the "Grand Canyon"!

When you "take in" its vast
expanse you can't help but dream... Humm...Where from here?

Time can be a "Dream Thief"...We start out with high hopes...and goals..."Dreams"...If we aren't careful we find ourselves looking back "Daydreaming" about them.

No, God put a special dream in each one of us, and If you have looked around and thought...Did I miss it? Or, it's too late for me...Think again...It's never too late!

Go ask God to "wake up" that dream he put in You!

There's really no such thing as a Dream Thief :)
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure it out on your own.Listen for Gods voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who'll keep you on track.  Prov 3:5

"Look for the Good ?"

We all go through them!  Times when something "negative" will be...IN YOUR FACE!

Most everything else can be going along ok,  but that "Thing" just won't leave you alone...

It can be a change in policy at work that seems crazy...a co-workers "always late" work ethic, a friends attitude...or someone just stirring the pot!

What do you do?...Well... don't say something you'll regret...and DON'T put it on fb...

Look for the "good"...follow "make nice" rules your Mom taught you!...
             Things will change...they always do! :)

Whats on YOUR kitchen counter?

Whats on your Kitchen Counter?  Do you need to make an appointment to find usable space?  Is it "command central"? 

Everything from Laptop to office supplies...School Newsletter to Work schedule and Scrapbooking crafts...Do you have to clear a space to bake something or even start dinner? 

What on the Kitchen counter or your heart?   Whats in the way of your peace? What is cluttering your mind?
