CHOICES

THE CHOICES I MAKE ARE TE SOURCE OF MY CHARACTER DEFECTS. WE DEVELOP OUR HANG-UPS BECAUSE WE REPEAT NEGATIVE CHOICES. AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH, IT BECOMES A HABIT.ONES IT BECOMES A HABIT YOUR STUCK. SO WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET RID OF OUR CHARACTER DEFECTS?

BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THEM SO LONG. WE HAVE A HARD TIME LETTING GO, AND LEARNING NEW WAYS TO COPE.

CAR SHOW 2012

SAGEBRUSH CHURCH-AUTO SHOW 2012CAR SHOW : AT SAGEBRUSH CHURCH, THEY HAVE IT EVERY SUMMER. ENJOYED THE CAR SHOW. HERE'S JUST A FEW OF THE CARS.

CONFRONTED

WHEN CONFRONTED BY OTHERS, ON OUR CHARACTER IS NOT PLEASANT. IT HURTS, BUT IT DOES NOT HARM. WHEN DONE LOVING IT PROTECTS ME FROM MY BLINDNESS AND MY SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS. IT CAN STOP ME FROM DISASTER. THERE ARE '"CONFRONTERS AND STROKERS." CONFRONTERS RISK TELLING US THE TRUTH, BY TELLING THEM I RISK THEM LEAVING. STROKERS NEVER TELL YOU THE TRUTH AVOID IT. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, CAUSE THEN THEY ARE HAPPY. THAT'S NOT LOVING YOU ENOUGH TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN YOUR ATTITUDE OR BEHAVIOR IS DRIVING YOUR LIFE OVER A CLIFF, EVEN THOUGHT YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW IT! STROKERS FLATTER US INSTEAD OF CONFRONTING US.

IDENTITY-THE TONGUE

"DON'T LET YOUR STRUGGLE BECOME YOUR IDENTITY."

HOLDING ON TO ANGER IS LIKE DRINKING POISON AND EXPECTING THE OTHER PERSON TO DIE. JUST LET IT GO! REMEMBER, WHATEVER YOU SAY IS EITHER BUILDING LOVE OR TEARING IT DOWN, AS PROVERBS TELLS US, THE TONGUE HAS THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH, AND THOSE WHO LOVE IT WILL EAT THE FRUIT.

YOU WILL EAT THE FRUIT OF WHAT YOU SAY AND DO IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS DAY AFTER DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR. BUILD THE SKILLS TO SAY THE THINGS THAT PRODUCE LOVE.

Happy 4th of July
