I do not perceive my own best interests.
In no situation that arises do you realize the outcome that would make you happy. Therefore, you have no guide to appropriate action, and no way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your perception of the situation, and that perception is...

I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts.
The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the world you see. It...
What I see is a form of vengeance.
Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is thus perceived as self defense. This becomes an...
I am determined to see things differently.
The idea for today is obviously a continuation and extension of the preceding one. This time, however, specific mind-searching periods are necessary, in addition to applying the idea to particular situations as they may arise. Five practice periods...
Here are five other pictures - they had a butterfly park section with some butterfly statues and walk ways as well. The large hill are for kids to roll down. Gage would not roll down it but did find a friend to play on the hill with. Nathan climbed the whatever-its-called and sat at the top for...
This park is STUNNING. Nathan and I took Gage there a few times so far.
Here are some pictures of the beautiful park:
The first three pictures are various statues. The other is Nathan sitting on the bench and a shot of the really cool slide in the rock section. Very large park with lots...
The cat is terrified of our 2 year old rabbit ^_^
Fiance and I have been back together for a few months and so far, looking good. Issues hopefully resolved and we've been having a lot of fun and bonding time together. Praying it all works out as I have always hoped and prayed for with us. Hoping that the time we spent apart and the issues will...
I never thought I would ever hear myself say this about Christian music - but here it goes: "At some point we have to draw the line."
What prompted me to say this was a viewing of the video for "Flush" - written by the born-again guitarist from Korn. I saw it for the first time about a year ago...
I love this free bible software program. When I reformatted my computer I was dismayed to see that instead of getting ESV free again for the software, it was only available for purchase. With help from the Bible Explorer 4 forums, I have found a coupon code that lets you get it free from the...
God does not become different in some particular (i.e., change).
God is eternally the same in all that He has revealed to us in His general and special revelations.
God does not change in His relations to His creatures.
God’s creatures change in relation to Him. We love God, He loves...
I was listening to a sermon about Knowing God's will for Your life. The pastor preaching is Jimmy Evans.
In this sermon towards the end he says something that makes me think of something I tell the kids I work with. What he said was it will never be right between you and God until you include...
I am determined to see.
This is my first attempt to introduce structure. I will not misconstrue it as an effort to exert force or pressure. I want salvation. I want to be happy. I want peace. I do not have them now, because my mind is totally undisciplined, and I cannot distinguish...
I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts.
Despite my initial resistance to this idea, I will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the Will of God.
As I consider each though, I name it in terms of...
I see no neutral things.
This idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as it really operates in the world.
I see no neutral things because I have no n eutral thoughts.
I do not see a neutral environment because my thoughts about the environment are not...
