The Listening Blessing
Honestly, I must intentionally focus on listening to those who are speaking to me because my mind tends to be a wanderer. This clarion call comes from the Apostle James: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: ‘Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” James 1:19
I’ll never forget the time(s) when listening intently really paid off for me. I was hurt…

James 1:19: Watch your Mouth
Our mouth has the power to manifest either curses or blessings, leading to either calamity or harmony. When used incorrectly or amidst carnal thoughts and environments, it can create confusion and inconsistency in our lives. Controlling our speech is crucial for success in life and for pleasing God. Practicing the discipline of listening first, processing what was heard, and then speaking…

Quick to Listen and Slow to Speak
17 “I will show you; hear me,
and what I have seen I will declare
18 (what wise men have told,
without hiding it from their fathers,
19 to whom alone the land was given,
and no stranger passed among them).
20 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
21 Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will…

Are you busy doing good, though?
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your…

Goodwill to Men
We sing it every Christmas. Peace on the earth and goodwill to men. Yet, we bicker and fight and cast blame and curse our neighbors. We are slow to listen and quick to speak. Unfortunately, many who consider themselves spiritually mature have ill will toward others even though that is in direct opposition to Christ and His work. Look to Romans 12. After Paul explains the doctrine of salvation in…

The Quiet Man
I have always admired the man with experience in his hair and wisdom in his eyes. You’ve seen the type. They usually are tall, thin, and have grey hair. They typically have a subtle smile on their face. They watch and observe but say very little unless asked to contribute.
I think of the man pictured here in this post. I recall a time when I was mowing the church lawn, and I can’t remember why I…

Lemonade Anyone?
It hasn’t been so long that we could forget the Covid pandemic. It was all we could think about during those times. But during that season, even though there were challenges, there were many who thrived ��� who invented services and created ideas that made them millionaires. They took the “lemons” and made lemonade with them!
But many didn’t want lemonade. They didn’t even like lemonade. It gave…

we've read about dick and tim being pathetic, but I wanna know the strange, stoic way Damian would be pathetic for reader if you're up for it :) I love your writing!!!
Points at camera like I'm on a gameshow! You, dear reader are lucky you came to the right blog!!!
So, we all know what cats are like when they like someone, right?? Just, following them around constantly. They don't want pets, they don't want to get picked up, they just want to watch you from a distance of five to twenty feet. Anyway, that's Damian!
He's in love with you, he needs you, he wants to keep you, but he has his pride!! Well, for a while at least. He's clingy, of course but he just... pretends he isn't?? It doesn't really work after the first few times. Pressing kisses to your forehead and holding your hand. And he'll do it while he's glaring at you.
Now, if you break up with him or reject him, you are going to see true brattiness. Monstrously bratty. How dare you? How dare you think you can leave him, reject him? He's the heir to the Al Ghul and Wayne dynasties. He gives you everything. And you don't accept it?
...Okay, you thought he'd stomp off after that. He's not leaving?? He's just... sitting outside your house...?? Why the hell is he glaring at you through your window???? It's not your fault????? Damian, however, is absolutely certain it is your fault. He will sit there through rain and snow, deliver you gifts and takeout, and wait sadly and grumpily till you take him back. And I thought he was impatient!
Unfortunately, while you saw him as a cat, he thought the same with you. While you see him as tame, he thinks of you as some wild alley cat that needs to be caught for it's own good. He just needs to slowly acclimate you to him and you guys will be right as rain. Maybe some treats will make you like him more? He'll figure it out, that he's confident of. Don't tell him he's being silly, you will just make things worse.
