It’s not about me, it IS about you. So, are you ready for an adventure? Well, I would venture a guess you are already on one and don’t even know it. If you are still alive and breathing then you ARE on that adventure! Just peer in between the folds of life’s fabric, and you will find those special moments, treasures hidden amongst the magnificent and the mundane that make your life worthwhile. Those “special moments” is the reason this blog site was birthed. The title Life Simply Spoken came about from the yearning to share simple life stories presented in such a way that it would impact the life of another person. Most of these stories or “pieces” will have a spiritual slant as I strongly believe that in every life experience, there is a lesson, a nugget of God instilled, eternal truth just waiting to get out, becoming a salve for healing, a mini “aha” moment or perhaps a smile maker. So as you skim over my own life stories, think about yours. Jump headlong into YOUR life adventures with abandonment, keeping all your senses sharp, head clear, and make sure you pack a good amount of humor. For this is the only life we have been given; let us embrace every moment!

Thought of the Day–9/5/17

Doll

Thought of the Day— Do you ever feel like one of the broken, one of the walking wounded, perhaps one of the not so perfect inhabitants on the Island of misfit toys?  If you do, don’t feel so isolated for there are many of us walking around this earth.  But guess what?  Jesus preferred to run around with the out crowd, the outcasts, the least of these probably because the need was so great and so much grace was able to be given.  Even on this day, this hour, this moment, Jesus wants to meet you just where you are…to apply much grace, more mercy, and most of all full forgiveness.  But just remember one thing, He WILL meet you where you are but has no intention for you to remain the way you are…

Hurricane Harvey

Thought of the Day— Why does it take such a tragedy as Hurricane Harvey to see what good people do every day to meet another’s needs, to comfort those that have lost much and to step in when needed, despite their own personal sacrifices?  And why do these overwhelming acts of kindness and heroism seem to surprise the news media so much when this happens time and time again?  It’s engrained in the fabric of our country and her people; all united in one cause, to make a positive difference in the affected lives of others, regardless of our skin pigment, social status or native tongue, for in fact, all lives DO matter.  And this mighty effort was not the result of social media, on line postings or other tactics used to organize riots or demonstrations, rather neighbor helping neighbor, love networking outward across state lines until it reached our national borders and beyond.  Love in action, the same kind of love in which this nation was founded; a love and trust for our God.  1 John 4:19 states, “We love because He first loved us.”  If only our nation would once again reciprocate and put God first, ahead of country…out of a love for our Creator…

Wooden Butterfly

Thought of the Day—You can engrave an image of a butterfly into a piece of wood and call it a real butterfly but it doesn’t make it so; it’s just an image, a copy of the original, a fake.  So it is with information on the internet; just because it’s in print, doesn’t mean it is true and reliable.  Do a little investigative work before touting ANYTHING on the web as gospel….
