All of LIfe is a Decision

From the first time you choose Cheerios(c) over toast, your life has been a series of decisions. Some are seemingly small such as what to have for breakfast or what to wear.  Others are of the more weighty variety like who do I marry or what will I do with my life.

Decisions also have consequences.  If we eat spicy food at midnight, we may pay with indigestion.  If we marry an incompatible individual then the consequences may be unhappiness or even divorce.  Unfortunately, most of us take decision making quite lightly and use the eeny-meeny-miny-moe approach.

My series of books take on 13 of our major decisions that change our lives, our marriages, our communities, and eventually our world.  How we act or react to life or how we anticipate life makes a difference in all of our relationships. 

When we display anger, unforgiveness, isolation, and guilt, it may be time for a deeper probing of what is going on in our lives.  I want to take this journey with you.  It is one I have experienced and so have many of my colleagues.

Motivation to Serve

Guilt is a huge motivator.  It can make us volunteer, do penance, teach a class, and otherwise burn our candle at both ends - all without emotions, empathy, or concern.  Guilt compares us to others and brings up conversations from naysayers.  Guilt reminds you of your failures and confuses your motives with "oughts."  Satan uses many tricks in his bag to get us to serve, but the only motive that satisfies is the one Jesus gave to love and serve as He did.
