Walk by Faith

Another way to see things… 


We use our eyes to see all that this world has to offer. 


That’s part of being human. 


We are also equipped with another way to see. 


Our Spiritual nature inside of helps us to see in a different way. 


We cannot see the air we breathe, yet we take it for granted that it’s here. 


We naturally take it for granted that when we flip a light switch the light will come on and when we put the key into the ignition the car will start. 


This comes from FAITH. 


We learn by doing and by feeling. 


This is how we develop our spiritual eyes. 


Now it’s a fact that we all crawl before we walk. So we cannot develop spiritual eyes overnight. 


Like the air we breathe, light switch, and the key in the ignition, we build up a continued and familiar experience over time that allows us to believe it will work. 


It’s the same with our faith. 


We have to build on it and grow it so that we can rely on it in times of uncertainty… 


Check your experience… 


“In this book you read again and again that faith did for us what we could not do for ourselves.” Big Book pg. 70 

Lord open the eyes of our hearts through building and growing our faith in You and Your Word, AMEN. 

“For we walk by faith, not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Don’t Judge

Don’t judge a book by its cover…


Looks can be deceiving, especially when we allow our judgement to be based solely on what we initially see. 


Perhaps it’s different for you, but I have shared before how my magic magnifying mind likes to trick me into trusting the ideas it generates on its own just for me. 

It pays to learn more of the story before we pass judgement. 


Years ago when I was living and working at the Salvation Army, we had this very small man named Joe. 


He walked funny and had a hard time finding words so it was easy to pass him by as another needy and hopeless cause. 


However as I got to know Joe and hang out with him, our friendship grew and I learned that he was a powerlifter in the gym and before he had a stroke in his mid-20’s, he was a college graduate with a promising career in engineering. 


Joe taught me and others to use the gym safely and encouraged me to get my college education and pursue God’s calling on my life. 


I am glad I took the time to get to know Joe before he went home to the Lord. 


He helped me a lot. 


 Any “Joe’s” in your life where you don’t know their story?.. 


Check your experience… 


“We let God be the final judge.” Big Book pg. 70.


Lord open the eyes of our hearts so we can see those You send to us, AMEN. 


“Do not judge according to appearance” John 7:24

See if You Can Help

We get out of it what we put into it…


Here is a twist of thinking I learned long ago that has not only helped me to grow as a person, and as God’s kid, but also has helped me to be more in tune to the needs of others. 


It’s very simple. Instead of seeing what I can get from every interaction I have with people, places, and things, I see what I can bring to it. 

The feeling is amazing and the outcome is usually better than I expect, plus I have gotten to know people on a deeper level! 


It changed my perspective and now instead of having expectations of how I think things should go, I now have blessed peace just looking to see how I can help. 

 Go on, give it a try and as always….


Check your experience… 


“But be sure you are on solid spiritual ground before you start and that your motive in going is thoroughly good. Do not think of what you will get out of the occasion. Think of what you can bring to it.” Big Book pg. 102


Lord, let us see what we can bring to a situation instead of always looking to see what we can get from it, AMEN.  


“Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them.” Matthew 7:12 


Have a blessed day Y’all!

Solid Foundation

   May 5, 2025  Leave a Comment on Solid Foundation 0 Likes 14 Views
Solid as a rock… 


Have you ever noticed how buildings are constructed? 


They usually start with a very solid and firm fou
ndation. 


Next follows steel, iron, or whatever sturdy and strong material is used to build the frame. 


The point is that things that are built to last are built upon solid foundations. 


It’s the same with our lives. 


When we build our lives on a solid foundation of spiritual principles including, love, grace, tolerance, honesty, hard work, healthy relationships, and service to others we wind up with a stable, secure, and vibrant life. 


What are the principles you are using for the spiritual foundation of your life?.. 


Check your experience… 


“Have we skimped on the cement put into the foundation?” Big Book pg. 75 


Lord, let us build our life upon the foundation we have through our faith and trust in You and Your Word, AMEN. 


“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 


Have a blessed day Y’all! 

Soul Food

“Soul food”… 


Our information age provides us with instant and on demand information and access to just about anything we can think of. 


With just a few clicks we can learn what products to buy, where to go for fun, and even the right food to eat. 


Now I am sure we all have learned that just because it’s on the internet doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true…


We must consider the source…


We can even find arguments pro and con on the benefits of low carb, fat free, and diet foods these days. 


It’s very confusing, especially at times when all we must rely on is ourselves… 


What about the food for our souls?.. 


There is one thing that has not changed over time. 


It’s the Word and Truth in the Bible. Sure, “religious fads” come and go but the Word and its source remain the same. 


Consider the source. 
How are you getting spiritually fed?.. 


 Check your experience… 


“Assuming we are spiritually fit, we can do all sorts of things” Big Book pg. 100 


Lord thank you for constantly and consistently offering Your Word as the Spiritual food and nourishment for our souls, AMEN. 


“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” John 6:27 


Have a blessed day Y’all!

Spring Cleaning

   May 3, 2025  Leave a Comment on Spring Cleaning 0 Likes 18 Views
Spring cleaning… 


Summer is just around the corner and most of us have thought about and perhaps even engaged in some form of Spring Cleaning. 


Maybe we cleaned and organized our homes, moving the clutter and no longer needed things to the trash. 


Some of us might even have looked in our clothes closets and removed our winter garments to make room for our summer wardrobe. 

 Out with the old and in with the new is our Spring Cleaning motive….. 


What about the clutter of fears, resentments, anger, and other things in our hearts and minds that hold us hostage and block us off from the Son-light of the Spirit? 


Isn’t it time to clear these self-centered thoughts and emotions out of ourselves? 


It’s a spiritual principle that when we find ourselves angry and or hurt by people, places, things, and or situations it’s because there is something spiritually wrong inside of us that needs to be attended to and corrected or cleaned if you will…


Check your experience…


“Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them.” Big Book pg. 84


Lord let us open our hearts and minds to be cleansed by your Holy Spirit to remove any and all fear, resentment, anger, and self-generated pain, AMEN. 


“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” Ephesians 4:31 


Have a blessed day Y’all! 


What if you had a person who coached and mentored you in building a better life?

Change Your Thoughts

   May 1, 2025  Leave a Comment on Change Your Thoughts 0 Likes 19 Views
Change your thoughts and change your world… 

If we can change our thoughts, 
we can change our attitudes. 

If we change our attitudes, 
we can change our actions. 

If our actions change 
then our behaviors follow. 


Finally, if our behaviors change, 
then so do our habits. 


It starts with us folks. 


We need not let the actions or influences of others control us and no matter how good it looks on the TV or the internet does not mean we HAVE to HAVE it to be complete! 


God gave us free will for a reason in order to allow us to consciously make our choices and decisions based on what’s in our hearts and not dominating our mind’s eye at the moment. … 


Check your experience. … 


“The persistence of this illusion is astonishing.” Big Book pg. 30 


Lord, let us be transformed by seeking Your will daily and not falling to the illusions of the material things of this world, AMEN. 


“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you,” Romans 12:2

Hard Ground

   April 30, 2025  Leave a Comment on Hard Ground 0 Likes 19 Views
Planting seeds in hard ground…. 


If you have ever gardened or worked with your yard, and especially if you live in Arizona, you learn pretty quickly that the ground here is pretty hard and not too compliant when it comes to yielding to a shovel, spade, or a hoe. 


We learned that in order to plant, we first have to treat the ground here with water, over and over to get it to soften and become workable. 


The more we work with the ground, the deeper we can dig to allow more room for the plant to take root and grow. 


It’s the same with our hearts when it comes to accepting change. 


Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have learned from experience that until I can soften my heart and become willing to accept needed change and allow it space in my heart, nothing changes, and I remain hardened inside. 


When I soften my heart through willingness and allow God’s grace and guidance to plant the needed seeds of change it comes and I grow. … 


Check your experience… 


“His change of heart was dramatic, convincing, and moving.” Big Book pg. 55 


Lord, let us become willing to allow our hearts to soften to accept the changes You have for us, AMEN. 


“Plow up the hard ground of your hearts!” Jeremiah 4:3

Them and They

   April 29, 2025  Leave a Comment on Them and They 0 Likes 17 Views
“THEY” just don’t understand…. 


Most of my early life, I was under the impression that “THEY” knew best and we should try and please “THEM”. 


I spent a lot of confused years trying to make THEM happy and wondering who THEY were. 


Finally, I had my spiritual awakening and turned my will and my life over to God and I no longer needed to worry about pleasing THEM or THEY! 


I have found grace, growth, and abundant life through my daily walk with God. 

I still don’t know who THEY or THEM are and I no longer care…


How about you? 


Are you spending countless frustrating hours daily trying to live to please THEM hoping THEY are happy with you? 


Or are you seeking God’s will daily?.. 


Check your experience… 


 “…if only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased.” Big Book pg. 61 


Lord please let our hearts remind our heads that we can’t please others through our own will power and we are not responsible for others happiness, AMEN. 


“It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe.” Proverbs 29:25 


Have a blessed day Y’all!
