Week 489

Positive Post Sunday, July 12, 2026…. Week 489. Look Up for GuidanceAs written in the Gospel of John, historically, many humans have loved and praised man more than they praised God. Unfortunately, based on our current culture, this appears to have continued throughout history. Fortunately, there are many who choose to “look up” to the…

Week 488

Positive Post Sunday, July 5, 2026…. Week 488. God’s Gifts in Everyday LifeWe often spend too much energy searching for our “big” gifts, some hidden talent, some dramatic calling, some unmistakable sign, that we overlook the quiet treasures God has already placed right in front of us.

Week 487

Positive Post Sunday, June 28, 2026…. Week 487.

Week 486

Positive Post Sunday, June 21, 2026…. Week 486.

Week 484

Positive Post Sunday, June 7, 2026…. Week 484. Kindness with HonestyIn a life of faith, kindness and honesty were never meant to be separated.

Positive Post Sunday, May 31, 2026…. Week 483. Stillness, A Doorway to GraceI don’t know about you, but in today’s divisive, fast‑paced, and cluttered world, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to quiet my mind long enough to enter the presence of God. That is, until I spent time reading Brother Lawrence’s classic, The Practice of…

Week 482

Positive Post Sunday, May 24, 2026…. Week 482. Responding Versus ReactingIn our spiritual life, the difference between reacting and responding is the difference between being driven by emotion and being guided by the Holy Spirit. Both require us to feel deeply, but only responding keeps us surrendered, steady, and under God’s control. When we pause,…

Week 481

Positive Post Sunday, May 17, 2026…. Week 481. God’s Presence is a GiftWhen something breaks, when loss arrives uninvited, when a prayer seems to go unanswered, our first instinct is often to ask why.
