Who Is Successful?

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why? The word “successful” immediately brings Warren Buffett to my mind. I think this is probably for a few reasons. First, he’s incredibly wealthy and a nearly incomparable investor who truly understands the fundamentals of what he’s doing. He’s old but still skilled, having achieved success without…

I Don't Want to Impose

Okay, so this one was prompted by an experience, not by a writing prompt. So, I hope it’s worthwhile and not just a personal therapy session out there for the entire world to see 🙂 I Don’t Like to Impose I don’t like to impose on people. I don’t even like to feel like I might be imposing. I don’t see the point in paying a counselor to dig into my childhood for potential issues. But anyway, the…

Principles For Life

What principles define how you live? Wow! Talk about a can of worms. Transparency is challenging because I strive to follow Jesus’ two greatest commandments: to love God and love my neighbor. I think that’s an inspiring idea, but the truth is I live by the principle of “we fall down, and we get back up.” Not of my own strength or volition, but prompted and empowered by the Holy Spirit. In a…

Giving Away a Million

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? I had no idea when I started writing based on daily prompts how deep some of the questions would get and how hard it would be to answer them. I realize I’m probably starting to sound like a broken record (remember those?) but this is tough. I’ll assume I can’t give it away to family to avoid obvious and self-serving answers…

When Will I Feel Like a Grown Up?

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? Well, this one will be quick because I still don’t really feel like grown up. I mean, I do what I think of as “grown up” things, but I still very much feel like a teen trapped in the body of a grown up. In fact, at more than fifty years old, I wonder if anyone ever really feels like a grown up. Maybe It’s Just Perspective As I…

What's the Hardest Goal You've Achieved?

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? For the longest time I never really thought of myself as goal-oriented. I mean I’d go through the trainings to learn about SMART or SMARTeR goals, and I’d kind of bristle at the thought of them. I find it challenging to fully commit to one thing without neglecting others, which seems related to my personality. But at the same time, I…

My Favorite Artists

Who are your favorite artists? This one digs deep because there are so many different mediums and genres within those mediums. It’s hard for me to nail down a simple few and I don’t have the time to walk through all my memories, so maybe I’ll focus on just audio and music. How It Started My love affair with music and audio has been around for at least as long as I can remember. I know I’ve…

What Are You Thinking?

Right now, I’m thinking about … Well, doesn’t this make for great blog content? 🙂 There are so many things I’m thinking about right now, it’s hard to focus on just one thing. I’m currently considering everything on my to-do list and feel that focusing on myself isn’t great blog material. After all, who would want to read about my random thoughts? But I guess that’s all part of this experiment…

I was reminded of this a couple weeks ago. What an incredible gift and reminder!

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬ ESV)

Holy Spirit, You are welcome here.

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.

Your glory God is what our hearts long for,

To be overcome by Your presence, Lord.

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. (‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9-10‬ ESV)

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ESV)
