Decaf Jesus
Decaf Jesus is a spirituality that’s there just for the pleasantries. It really doesn’t do much for us other than make us feel good. It doesn’t enliven us, doesn’t put “hair on our chests”.
This is personal! Both for me and you. Success is about intentionality. Very little in life just "happens". So, as we discuss different topics and thoughts, let's have this in mind - intentionality! Because we all want to succeed and success is intentional!

Life is a classroom, if we're willing to take the time to observe and evaluate. My recent garden prep unearthed 3 gems for life. Enjoy!
There is a God-intended rhythm to life that's been lost, even dismissed. If you're honest with yourself, deep, deep down, you know this to be true. Capturing that rhythm will change your life - forever.

Self love is a valuable thing, but without the proper perspective and guidance our self love is fractured, unhealthy and ego-centric. In fact, it's downright harmful.
There are times in life when life is new and smooth and easy. But we’re also familiar with the rough and rugged times. I’ve learned that once we surrender to the way of the Cross, Jesus is in both the lovely and the lonely.
Could it be that my life and yours would be vastly different if we viewed it from the same perspective as God?
Our emotional health, our E.Q., is essential to our success and happiness, yet very few people take the time and courage to become emotionally healthy. It affects what we do and say, our relationships with others and how much we enjoy life. It's worth a look.
Work can quickly wear out gloves. The same is true for rest. The more we work, the more we have to intentionally rest. Don't think you won't get worn out - others will notice long before you do! It's time to say "no" to the pattern of this world! Sabbath!
People can change. Are we willing to allow them the grace to do so? Or, will we eagerly wait for them to slip and then cheer that change never did happen? How do you wish to be met in your transformation?
