Are you always uptight?

Don't be afraid to mellow out.

Take some time to have fun.

Don't be afraid to chase your tail once in a while.

Every minute of your life doesn't have to accomplish something.

Get comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

Older people know what matters most.

What kind of Shack is going to bring you relief?

A racer never fears the finish line.

Friends help us to perceive that our mountains are not as steep as we think they are.

Have you found your climbing buddies?

Do you have an altar in this world?

Life is an ongoing adventure.

But it really gets interesting when things go wrong...

Are you one of those who say, "I'm not getting fed?!"

How OLD are you?

You don't need a New Year to make a change.

All you need is today.

Make this the week you change your life.

People need grace the most when they deserve it the least.

Do you have any ugly habits? And I don’t mean outfits for nuns...

Anything can be changed...

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. MAngelou

I deserve to feel entitled...

Sometimes it’s a good idea to lose your baggage.

Reflection is a good thing.

And a God thing.

Give careful consideration to what God is doing in the midst of your life today.

No sin is too gross for His grace.

Pretty good idea...

Learning anything lately?

Grace always acts.

Take some time each day to nurture important relationships.

Don't let things get frosty...

Are you too big for your britches?

First pride, then the crash—
    the bigger the ego, the harder the fall.

Every once in a while just bask.

Become a learner...

Don't be a knower.

The unknown can be scary...

But it's rarely as bad as we imagine.

Some things are worth being afraid of & some things are not.

Hang in the battle...

We all get a little used from time to time.

Go to God for strength, after all, we were MEANT to be used up.

'My life is being poured out as an offering to God.'

Are you willing to go boldly...

Meanwhile, the eleven disciples were on their way to Galilee, headed for the mountain Jesus had set for their reunion. The moment they saw him they worshiped him. Some, though, held back, not sure about worship, about risking themselves totally.

Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

Become the change you want to see.

Dead last is better than DNF or DNS

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. TRoosevelt

Hurry up & slow down...

Stop the glorification of busy.

Becoming like Jesus is why we exist.

Base your 2013 trek on that reality.
