Proverbs 17:22 We all know people who remind us of Eeyore the donkey in A.A Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. Eeyore is always looking on the dull side of life. Everything is difficult for him and joy is impossible to be found even when everyone else is having fun. There is a dark cloud that hangsContinue reading “An overcast life”

The more we have
Proverbs 15:16 The more we have the more we have to lose. The more we have the more we want. The more we have the more we have to worry about. The more we have the more complicated life gets. Even so, we spend our lives desiring more, working for more and stressing about theContinue reading “The more we have”
Who is right?
Proverbs 21:2 Each one of us is clever enough to convince ourselves that we are right or that we are doing the right thing.

Real life
Proverbs 21:21 There seems to be a common thought that living a Godly life leads to boredom, unnecessary restrictions and taking the fun out of living.

Talking too littleContinue reading “Talk too much?”
Big dreams?
Some people seem to be born with dreams, hopes and plans for their life. They know what they want to be, they know where they want to go, and they are determined to get there. Others like me still hope to be given that certainty and go through life doing their best at whatever theyContinue reading “Big dreams?”
Shifting priorities
We all make time for what is important to us. When we say yes to something it means we are saying no to something else. Through our life our priorities change and what was important once upon a time is no longer as valuable to us. This change can be positive or negative depending onContinue reading “Shifting priorities”
Where is wisdom?
When it comes to making decisions in life most of us take the easiest way out. It is easier to be swayed by popular opinion, easier to be influenced by advertising and easier to be persuaded by family or friends, politicians or pastors. Easier than what? Easier than working it out for ourselves. Easier thanContinue reading “Where is wisdom?”
