My mind is swirling with so many deadlines and appointments.
I almost feel overwhelmed with all the expectations to be have been sent.
Yet, I will stop and take a moment to breathe.
If I don’t, I only find my sword unsheathed.
Whimsical Wednesdays sometimes remain in my mind rather in reality, but that’s ok, as long as my perspective on Him remains in centrality. 😉

Oh, Whimsical Wednesday
Where is your whimsical way?
I feel a little weary in this rainy, cold, blustery atmosphere.
I’d feel better if the warm, cozy, bright sunshine were near.
Yet, I am reminded, it shouldn’t be the outside that brings me cause and effect.
It should be the inside, the inner workings, my deep, hidden thoughts I should dissect.
In these, I find the wayward blues and those things that distract my way.
So, I will throw out the negatives and bring sunny smiles back into my day.
I will perform a little surgery on my soul and my mind.
Remembering to Whom I am to look and to whose words I am to align.

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗
I don’t care who you ARE
Or
Where you LIVE
Or
Who you LOVE
Or
WHO you Hate
And
It doesn’t matter if you’re MARRIED
Or
If you’re NOT…
CHOOSE to be HAPPY today!
Choose to BREATHE and SMILE and LAUGH.
It can be a FRIDAY FUN DAY no matter where you are, who you are, who’s around or where you’re going!
Today is a GIFT. Receive it and ENJOY IT.
It’s all about PERSPECTIVE!
She twirls. She swirls. She takes a bow.
She looks up to see Him now.
She takes His hand to receive her guide.
He leads her down the path not wide.
Upon the journey, darkness falls.
In the fog, to Him she calls.
He is there, reminding her she has His hand.
As long as she holds on, she will always stand.
Creatures and sounds try to distract her way.
Screeching and screaming, making her jump in dismay.
She holds tightly through the pitch black night.
And sees His loving eyes in the morning’s shining light.

Take a minute to breathe.
Breathe long and breathe deep.
If one inhale isn’t enough, do it again.
Life is too short to stay stuck in where you’ve been.
Step out. Take a chance.
Your past can’t be erased from memory.
Yet, that’s no reason to let it consume today.
Walk forward with purpose, with promise; don’t delay.
Relish the moment. Cherish the treasures.
Push beyond your fears and insecurities.
Fly out of that comfort zone, regardless of the ropes.
Tomorrow holds much goodness and hope.
Just trust and believe.

Sometimes, I dream of heaven.
Almost always, I think of a beautiful lion sitting in all his majesty. Maybe I’ve watched too much Chronicles of Narnia and fallen in love with the character Aslan, but the Scripture tell us that Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. And I look forward to the day that Mighty Lion rises and roars for all the heaven lies to hear. I look forward to the day He leads His children into battle against the enemy to slay and bind him forever. I look forward to the day when the mighty Lion lays down with the Lamb. And I look forward to the day I can just snuggle up close to Him, wrap my arms around His neck and call Him, “Friend,” face to face.
Yeah, you might just think I’m crazy, or maybe you just need to watch The Chronicles of Narnia again, and ask that Mighty Lion to reveal Himself to you.
That’s one of His specialties…
(Rev. 5:5-6; 5:12-13; 1 Corinthians 15:57)
It’s hard to believe that this time next week, I’ll be writing the first Friday Fun Day of 2020.
Time to assess, evaluate, process and plan.
What have you done in 2019 that has been fun?
What is one thing you wish you could go back and change?
What is one thing you are thankful for?
What is one improvement you’d like to make in 2020?
Your lists may be long, or they may be short, but it’s good to look at your year and take account of the good, the bad and the ugly. It doesn’t mean you can go back and change it.
However, if we keep doing the things we’ve always done, expecting a different results, we are not wise. I believe Albert Einstein actually said it amounts to INSANITY.
If we expect to see change, we must like a flower bush be pruned, watered and fertilized, and in the spring, growth will appear as a tiny bud. It may seem tiny, but over time, the beautiful fragrance will convince you of the change.
Happy Friday Fun Day! Go have some fun!
Let 2019 go out with a bang and welcome 2020 like a beautiful, sweet fragranced rain.
Get out and enjoy a Friday Fun Day today.
If you’re cooped up at work, then, plan for tomorrow.
But get out and do something different.
Change the atmosphere. Change the routine.
Get out and remember why you’re alive.
You have a purpose. You have a significance.
Remember what, why and who.
Move beyond the mundane and into the extraordinary.
You can do this! Now, go have some fun! 🎉
Sometimes, you have to choose to dance in the rain.
Life isn’t going to always be what you want.
Circumstances aren’t always going to be what you like.
These things may laugh and mock at you while you faulted and flop.
What you choose in that moment will often determine your destiny.
Choose life. Choose joy. Choose peace.
Choose love over hate.
Choose truth over lies.
Choose a smile. Choose fun.
These things might not change your event, but they will change your perspective.
They will change your heart.
They will change your mind and your eyes.
Fund Days are happenstance.
Sometimes, you stand to make it happen.

My journey didn’t stop with mere time travel or writing; it led me to become one of the most sought-after empaths, a soulful psychic who reads the hidden depths of the human spirit. I’ve been blessed—or perhaps burdened—with an ability that allows me to feel the emotions of people from every corner of time.

Finding Meaning in the Madness
Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and soul invigoration. In the late 90s, I worked at Blockbuster Video where they let me take home two free movies a day. I caught up on the classics and reviewed theatrical releases for Denver 'burbs newspapers and magazines. Today, while raising two young, beautiful daughters with my amazing wife, I look forward to anything rated R and not Bluey. Comments and dialogue encouraged!
