Mile•stone
mile·stone: A significant event or stage in the life, progress, development, of a person.
I will reach a milestone in life on January 12, 2012 as I celebrate my 50th birthday. It is a milestone because it is a half century of living and because I have more life lived behind me, than I have life to live ahead of me. It's just a fact that the odds are I will not live to be 100 years old--at least I hope not. So, I thank God for this milestone I will soon reach and ask the Lord for strength and joy for the swiftly passing years I have left. Let me Father spend them loving and being loved by family and friends. Oh Lord, let them not be wasted, but used for your glory and my happiness. Psalm 90:10
10 The length of our days is seventy years—
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Falling Snow
The first snowfall came yesterday evening as I sat beside my wife driving in her Mini Cooper. The flakes were some of the largest ones we have ever seen. The falling snow was beautiful, but was made more beautiful, because she and I shared its arrival together. There is something peaceful about falling snow. There is something refreshing about falling snow. There is something hopeful about falling snow. But there is something beneath these emotions that is even more beautiful. It is the voice that falling snow awakens within me. It is not my voice. It is a quite still voice that whispers, “I AM here and I AM with you.” It is the voice of my Creator, the voice of God. How I know it is His voice I cannot explain, I just know. Falling snow, for me, is much more than just falling snow. It is a unique way that the Lord speaks to me of His presence and for that I say, “Let it snow.”
1 Kings 19:11-13 then came a gentle whisper from God

New Day
It's November 5, 2011 a “New Day” to move, breath, smile, laugh, and to simply live the very best life. Are you living your best life, now? The term 'new day' calls us not to 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow' not to the past or the future, but to present moments. I know that due to past disappointments or ongoing difficulties it’s challenging at times to awaken with a happy outlook on the day—even life! But it is made easier by dwelling in each new moment that you have been given. So, dwell in the new day! Dwell in the Lord! Dwell in the new day with the Lord!
Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it."
