| Countdown--100 Words |
![]() Countdown. It seems we are always counting down. On New Year’s Eve, we count down time to midnight. From the first sign of pregnancy, we count down time until delivery. We count down to the Super Bowl, our favorite TV show coming on, or even using a clock to tell us when the end of the world will come. Teenagers count down until the driver’s license. High school seniors countdown to graduation. Why don’t believers countdown till heaven? Oh, I know “no one knows the hour.” Yes, I get that. But, where’s the excitement? Where’s the anticipation? Where’s the joy? |
| Struggles--100 Words |
![]() Struggles. What causes you to struggle? Dieting? Exercising? Learning a new skill online? I suppose we all struggle. Probably with different things. The only commonality is the struggle. The internal battle. The struggle stretches me. It irritates me. It devastates me. It angers me. Mainly the constant struggle of life frustrates me. And, my giving in to the struggles disappoints me. Well, it’s more than that. It breaks my heart when I give in to life’s struggles. The ones that know my name. The one that haunts me constantly. I know the Source to overcome. Following Him is another story. |
| Hindsight--100 Words |
![]() Hindsight. Some say hindsight is 20/20. I don’t know about that. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes, even in looking back, it’s difficult to make out what’s what. I’ve decided some people blame hindsight for second guessing. That’s closer to the truth. Some people want to second guess every decision or action. They question the motive of others. They question just about everything. Then, as if to justify their second guessing they’ll say, “Well, in hindsight we should have…” I’m tired of being second guessed. Especially when no one had the courage to speak up in the first place. |
