Catching up

I'd love it if you'd start from the beginning and read through all the posts, as I suggested in this post:

http://bikewithjackie.blogspot.com/2008/02/just-joining-us.html

But who has the time?

What you can do is do a search through the archives and see if something sticks out for you. No matter how you found me, no matter what keeps bringing you back, I hope the journey thus far has been meaningful for you.

If you've read something that is particularly memorable, would you share it with us? If you know of a blog that is similar, would you post the link? I'd love to visit other blogs that share self-improvement, personal/professional development ideas, and exist to help others live a joyful life.

Thank you for visiting and trusting me with your time.

What does it look like for us to shine like the stars



These words were not originally written by me but by a church in Grand Rapids, USA.

I have adapted them a little for this blog and you don't need to be religious to hear what they say.

We forget that there’s a bigger story going on.

Will we remember?

Will we see?

Despite the overwhelming evidence that the world is a dark, dark place, will we shine like the stars in the heavens?

We’ve got to ask ourselves some questions.

Where do we find ourselves grumbling and complaining?

What does it look like for us to remember that life is a gift and that we’ve got everything we need?

What does it look like for us to shine like the stars in the common, everyday,
hum-drum of life?


when we forget to remember...
when we think we need more...
when we believe God or life has shorted us...
when we judge the future by the present...

when we forget that it's a marathon

not a sprint...

click here and contemplate what can be

do everything without grumbling or arguing

so that you may become blameless and pure

in a warped and crooked generation

then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
