Caught Off Guard ...

Ok ... I have no philosophical things to share, but I do want to share this photo of my cocker spaniel Winston ... I caught him a little off guard last weekend, and well, this was the outcome! Smile ... and have a great weekend!

Leave Out All the Rest

Understanding life’s uncertainties isn’t something I pretend to do …

I guess as I’ve lived my life, understanding that I don’t know all the answers, makes life more spontaneous perhaps … I don’t know … it just seems to me, if you knew all the answers, then life just might be a little dull …

I’ve lived and learned about how people can let you down, yet in the midst of that, forgiveness is on the other end of that disappointment …

Not because I want to forgive so much, but because God interjects my thoughts and helps me realize the power of forgiveness … after all, I’ve done a few stupid things in my day, and in those moments of realization of those not so good choices, I’ve learned the power of mercy and grace …

So how would it look if in the uncertainties and disappointments of life, I choose to hold a grudge; to NOT forgive?

It’s one of those qualms that I’ll never understand … how we can just forgive and forget … yet, there is reassurance in knowing that God can be what we cannot be, and in those moments, we can certainly leave out all the rest …
