One of the greatest struggles I have had through the years has been in gaining control of the relationships around me to protect myself from being rejected by others.
You are welcome, Kathy. God has used the "Three Kingdom" fight to awaken my soul to authentic healing and forgiveness. Thanks for reading this entry. Love you, sis.
You know that your writing is very deep and real and honest, right? It’s filled with wisdom that can only be accessed through real honesty and vulnerability. Most people don’t want to go deep and that’s so sad.
We all live so far away from where we were designed to live.
Well said, Kimberly. If we can't be honest with ourselves, it is impossible to be honest with others. In my older years, I cannot be anything but honest and transparent. That is where real ministry is birthed. Amen?
I shared a laugh earlier today with one of my daughters when I commented that I am becoming one of those old ladies that just say exactly what they think with no sugar coating.
But the subject was Jesus, reverential fear, and the lukewarm church.
There isn’t time for conversational tip-toeing. My attitude is like it or don’t like it, but I’m speaking truth in love.
Not my truth; THE TRUTH, and that deserves plain speaking.
Thank you Dr. Phinney always appreciate your honesty and thoughts.

Agreed. I would expect nothing less from you. You are my kind of Christian.
I just pray that I am God’s kind of Christian! Messy, and a sort of idiot savant, but made acceptable through Christ’s shed blood.
I get that. Without Jesus living in us, we ARE messy at best.
