Simplify... What do we really need to TRULY live, thrive, and be? I like to break things down, to understand what matters most, because too often I live overwhelmed, HOPELESS. Maybe you're like me, there is always a lot coming at me life is packed with decisions the need to be made, commitments that need to be kept, demands come from every direction and hey my own broke-ness and craziness is always in the mix too. Thankfully, their is HOPE, not a concept, but a Person. And even better, this Person, God, He loves to speak to those who SEEK Him, Jeremiah and Jesus, they lived by this TRUTH! How about you...

Ever found yourself pounding your chest, leaning in hard, mouth wide open, barking, "I'm RIGHT!" You're WRONG! I think that certainly describes the times we are in as a people and as a nation. All the finger pointing in the world won't rescue a single "Lost" soul. Jesus' answer to this finger pointing, is striking, challenging and potentially, life altering for the ones who choose it.

Trapped by indecision, fear, a looming sense of failure; there is a Way Out, the psalmist calls it sweeter than honey. Want a taste...? A followers way through the mess, simple, seemingly insignificant, YES, but real. How to endure temptation, from a simple fool.

Everybody needs Do-Over moments in their lives! No matter how good your estimate is of YOU, if you're honest, they're some NOT so good things in your thinking, your feeling and even your actions. We all would love to have a do-over.
