Speaking The Same Language...

Sometimes the simplest thoughts/words can be misunderstood or mistaken.
Perhaps that is because our attempts to communicate amount to speaking in a different language.

What if every time you attempted to share your appreciation for your loved one with them, they completely took it the wrong way and didn't understand what you were saying, or worse yet, thought you meant to harm them? What if every thing you said and did came across to your loved one like it was Japanese, and they only speak English? The outcomes of both situations would probably prove confusing at best, and disastrous at worst! It would not make for a good, healthy, and growing relationship. 

What if, on the other hand, every time you wanted to express your care and appreciation, your loved one understood and appreciated your efforts, and responded to you in a way that demonstrated their appreciation. Wouldn't that just make both of your lives a little easier, and a little less stressful? Imagine what a positive difference that would make in your life. Imagine the comfort and security, both of you would experience. The joy that you experience would spill over into every aspect of your life.

Dr. Gary Chapman has been teaching about a way to "speak" in a language your loved ones can understand and appreciate for a little over  21 years now. Dr. Chapman was the first person I ever heard speak about the The 5 Love Languages . Since he began teaching about them, he has enlarged the territory they can cover, and has adapted them to appreciation at the workplace, the languages of apology, and much more.

The teaching makes sense to me, and many times has proven to be useful.

Sunday Morning Love...

There is nothing quite like laying in the bed on Sunday morning, and experiencing love from whatever quarter of life it may come...

Umm...

There really is nothing quite like having it done by someone who really loves you...

Or at least someone who's got something to prove...

Life After Death...

I believe that the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything.

I believe that the breath of God plus the flesh of a human body equals a soul.

I believe that when someone dies, the body returns to the ground in one fashion or another, and the breath of God returns to Him.

I believe that when Messiah returns, He will bring all of the dead back to life, at the appropriate time, and in the appropriate order.

I believe that the memories of our life experiences, with our loved ones, remain with us. And it is these memories that bring us joy and pain, smiles and tears.

I believe that until Messiah returns, that a limited few have "gone to heaven". I believe that the vast majority of humans who have died are, in fact, dead. Death is often described as a sleep. I know from experience, that when humans sleep, that are not consciously aware of what goes on around them, and ,being asleep, have no ability to act or interact with the rest of the waking world. I believe that those who have died are, presently, having the same experience.

What Are You Doing?

It really is a shame to wake up at 3 or 4 am, ready... And to have no other option than to turn over and go back to sleep, or to add some posts to your blog...
