"How Are Things Really?" #487

"Tiz the Season" has ended and a new Season, 2K14 has begun.  What will 2K14 be like?  Well, the new year will generally take on the flavor of your own prevailing beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, the ones that have guided you up to this point in your life.  It will reflect the answer you give to this question, "How are things really?" 

On a continual basis, we are fed a steady diet of news, videos, opinions, Hollywood movies, TV programs, texts, e-mails, media of all sorts.  each of us has a selection of such that will guide, influence, even control us in ways that virtually cover all the areas of our lives that we permit including goals, dreams, values, work, attitudes, other people, the world and our place in it.  "He who is a slave to truth is a free man!"  And yet, we are constantly told by most every input we face what to believe, think and do,

C.S. Lewis said, "It's never too late to set a new goal or dream a new dream" and the words of Carl Rogers, "The good life is a process, not a state of being.  It is a direction, not a destination."  Let's be the kaleidoscope and make some small changes and see all the patterns of our lives change for 2K14.  Let's be receptive to what the Lord would have us do with regard to priorities, goals, and dreams and see 2K14 unfold with excitement, inspiration, and new direction.
