Why Is It . . .

. . . that before this move I so prided myself on having downsized and decluttered that now I just want to live with just white, live the simple life of the Amish and have just safety pins?

No, I'm kidding - sorta. Moving years of stuff is surely an interesting process and I know we all have our stories of those sorts of things we've carried around way to much and way to long.

It's kinda like that with baggage of the heart - some of us are carrying around a load (anger, bitterness, resentment, etc.) we should have dumped along time ago.

Perhaps this is the season that you might consider letting your extra and unnecessary baggage behind. I pray that you do.

Is It Really True . . .

. . . that Christmas is just around the corner? In the midst of packing and unpacking I set out my five totes of Christmas decorations and now can't decide what color to decorate the tree with. Pink or turquoise. What would you suggest?

The Ancient Ways

To all you single lady readers: don't get caught up in the cultural ways of romantic pursuit rather consider God's ancient ways.

Sometimes the way of culture can work, but I'd like to suggest to you - return to the ancient ways - which are always best.

When a girl wants to let a guy know that she likes him - it can be a hook.

One - it usually makes her feel even more insecure if he rejects her advance.

Second - if he's slightly interested in her - he could also become more interested in her than he really is - because guys liked to be liked.

If he's drawn to her because he likes being liked - he might not be drawn to her because he likes her.

So many women - and guys - fall in love with love rather than the person.

My suggestions then are to go back to your post :-) .....walk in confidence, walk as if you are so you will be - and be the beautiful responder that you are. These are the ancient ways and they work best.
