Taming the Tongue – not an easy task…

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

As I read this scripture passage this morning, I was reminded how easy it is to allow unkind, mean-spirited words to pass from my lips. In my heart, I want to be Christ-like in all I say and do. Yet, it’s not always easy to translate these desires into actions in my day-to-day life when things go crazy and people constantly act in a manner which cause stumbling blocks to others. Sometimes, stupidity seems to cry out for action. While there is a time and place to correct and speak out, more often, I need to quiet my voice and…

Worry about Nothing, Pray about Everything

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

The Bible tells us… “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Phil. 4:6 It sounds so simple, but putting that into action isn’t always easy. We give our cares, concerns, worries to the Lord, and then, for some unknown reason, we try to take them back. Why, oh why, do we do this to ourselves? When I have that “uh-ha” moment and realize that I’m trying to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, I tend to do the little palm smack on the forehead…
