Unrealistic Expectations
“So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ _Matthew 25:20
You may not be aware of this, but 92% of professional fund managers fail to beat the Market. That’s right, (you’re quick), there’s a 92% chance that your retirement fund, IRA, and other managed investments…

Yes, I'll go.
“God wanted you to be, so responding to his call is the secret to making the most of life, the key to the deepest relationships, the surest road to self-knowledge and unfolding purpose, the most challenging, enthralling, and natural way to live life, and the way to make the most of the great adventure that forms our days as humans in this world.” — The Call: Finding and Fulfilling God’s Purpose…

Your Competition
“No matter what a woman does, a younger woman will always walk into the room” _Ash Wednesday, Paramount film 1973
We all have competition. But when you’ve beaten your competition all you’ve done is beat your competition, you’ve probably not come close to all you could have done.
This is the trouble with measuring our success against other people’s success. We allow them to become the standard…

Christianity is Not For the Fainthearted
26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed…cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ _Matthew 25:26, 30
Interestingly, as we observed in my last blog, one of the ways Jesus described how the kingdom of Heaven works could…

A Lesson from Wall Street
16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. Matthew 25:16-19
It is fascinating to me that Jesus used an example right off Wall Street to describe how the Kingdom of Heaven works.
If you asked the average Christian what the population of Heaven will be made up of you’d probably get answers like:
Saints
Apostles
Saved people
Good…

Total Eclipse
“Worth seeing, but not worth going to see.” _Dr. Samuel Johnson
According to Astronomy.Com a total eclipse of the sun by the moon occurs at the same location, on average, once every 375 years.
Amazingly, I have witnessed two such eclipses over the last decade (not in the same place).
I must admit that it is a memorable and eerie experience.
But what is surprising to me is the effort and…

Which is a One Talent Assignment?
14 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave…one… (Matthew 25:14-15, NKJV)
To say that my dad did not grow up in a Christian home is an understatement.
But one day a church going lady invited my dad to church. She said, “Rosey, (Dad’s middle name is Roosevelt and they called him…

The Really Important Job
“And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one…”(Matthew 25:15, NKJV)
When describing how His kingdom worked, it’s interesting to me that Jesus made no value statements about the assignments He gave out. He didn’t even say what they were!
That does not reflect our day.
You never hear a parent proudly say, “Let me tell you about my son the hamburger flipper!”
Your…

Entrusted Because You're Trusted
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability… (Matthew 25:15, NKJV)
I remember arguing with my dad one weekend after I had just gotten my driver’s license. I had asked to borrow the car and dad said no.
Using a timeless phrase that generations of teenagers have used, I responded, “You don’t trust me!”
Dad had the perfect…
