Week 445

Positive Post Sunday, September 7, 2025…. Week 445.  The past few weeks I’ve focused on living a life guided by faith and from the heart, keeping our hearts awake and discerning, even when our bodies are asleep. This, along with experiencing some not so friendly sleep in the past, reminded me of the importance of…

Week 444

Positive Post Sunday, August 31, 2025…. Week 444.  Keeping with the theme from last week of living a life guided by faith and from the heart, I’m reminded of Song of Songs 5:2, “I was sleeping but my heart was awake.” This verse is a poetic gem, rich with spiritual depth and personal resonance. It…

Week 443

Positive Post Sunday, August24, 2025…. Week 443.  In a world full of distractions, conflicting values, and relentless noise, living a life guided by faith and from the heart can feel like swimming upstream.

Week 442

Positive Post Sunday, August 17, 2025…. Week 442.  The word “righteous” has a way of showing up in all kinds of settings, often with different shades of meaning depending on who’s saying it and why.

Week 441

Positive Post Sunday, August 10, 2025…. Week 441.  I’ve been praying, reading and meditating about living for our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, rather than living for my self-interests.

Week 440

Positive Post Sunday, August 3, 2025…. Week 440.  I don’t believe in coincidences; I believe in God my Father! Life often presents moments that seem too perfectly timed to be mere coincidence. For those like me who see through the lens of faith, these aren’t random occurrences or accidents, they’re gentle fingerprints of God’s grace…

Week 439

Positive Post Sunday, July 27, 2025…. Week 439.  For this week’s PPS, I decided to have some fun with Copilot.  I asked Copilot to write a song with lines from a few of my favorite religious songs listed below and one of my favorite Bible verses Joshua 24:15, “As for me and my house, we…

Week 438

Positive Post Sunday, July 20, 2025…. Week 438.  During this past week, I continued to reflect on the books I’ve recently read and written about (see PPS weeks 431, 435 and 437).  Specifically, I’ve prayed deeply and initiated a conversation with God to explore, define and better understand the gifts he has given me so…

Week 437

Positive Post Sunday, July 13, 2025…. Week 437.  Well, I’ve survived my first 6 weeks of retirement!  It’s been pretty action packed and busy (A few mini vacations, getting post-retirement finances and benefits situated and starting some of the home projects I’ve put off for so long).  Amongst the business, Michele and I recently began…
