    @carol_mcclain “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice” Proverbs 12:15. My good friend and I chatted in a coffee shop. The usual topics filtered through our chatter … supply chain issues, covid 19, bad politicians, sucky people. We were sure to avoid the theological idea …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. Proverbs 10:28 Do you find happiness elusive these days? I mean, we’ve got supply chain issues, COVID issues, Russian issues, and probably a lack of tissues to combat the tears caused by our issues. Take a lesson from goats. …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Why do I love roller coasters?   They’re safe. They’re designed by engineers who know (not people like me who would have a hard time engineering a box). They’re tested so no one would be hurt. Thousands of people have ridden the ride before me. They take me places I could never go on …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3-4 Ever since my teen years–eons ago–I’ve …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

      “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour and with that one, is what we are doing.” ― Annie Dillard, The Writing Life It's the new year, and of course, you've made resolutions. Do you want to exercise more? Cook healthy meals? Write a book? Have you resolved that this is the year you'd accomplish this? Nearly all of us have already broken our resolves. Why? Because we do what we want to do. Wait, our resolves are our desire, or so we think. Not if you're not doing… ...[ full story ]
