Decision Making

I am not good at making decisions on the spur of the moment. I do not generally enjoy spontaneity. I need time to think and evaluate things.

I say all that because I've made a couple of spur of the moment decisions this morning, and they're bothering me. One seems to have worked out well for the moment. Hopefully the same will happen with the other...

Leap of Faith?

I read this article this morning, and found it quite fascinating.

Pure of Heart - Henri Nouwen

Another reflection from Henri Nouwen...

Jesus Is Pure of Heart

Jesus, the Beloved of God, has a pure heart. Having a pure heart means willing one thing. Jesus wanted only to do the will of his heavenly Father. Whatever Jesus did or said, he did and said it as the obedient Son of God: "What I say is what the Father has taught me; he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him" (John 8:28-29). There are no divisions in Jesus' heart, no double motives or secret intentions. In Jesus there is complete inner unity because of his complete unity with God.

Becoming like Jesus is growing into purity of heart. That purity is what gave Jesus and will give us true spiritual vision.

In LOVE (with words)

I absolutely love this site. Visuwords.

Seriously. I know you all already know that I'm word geek. But when I saw this on Marko's blog this morning, I had to check it out.

And I love it.

I love the visual of the connections and definitions. I love the way they all pop up.

I tried a few different words that I've been batting around a lot lately. Hope. Trust. Joy. Tears. Others. So cool.
