WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?

You could spend your day contemplating the issues that face everyone...the issues about politics, freedoms, religion, health, finances, relationships...the nitty gritty of life.

Or you can be part of something bigger. You can follow and comment from a perspective unique to you.
Lots of blogs are the writer's perspective, but I am hoping that you will become a vital participate in the adventure I want to offer you at http://thislittlechristiangoestomarket.wordpress.com/


I am not looking for pat comments although I certainly won't oppose them.  I am looking for insights, answers, more questions and suggestions. I want to know how you personally see an issue and what your views are about it. I know that those of us who are Christian are asked to look at the world through the len's of a Christian worldview and I hope we can do that by letting those who don't have the same lens at least take a look at the world and voice their perspective.


One person's issues and concerns may not hold the same meaning to another and yet doesn't God want us to hear each other out, listen to one another's opinion, consider our fellow man's needs and plights and above all, accept one another as children of God?  If He is the creator of the universe, that means He created those that do not share the same perspective. 

I will continue to develop ONE MORE SERVING's blog with what I hope you find is wonderful information and purpose, but I would also ask you to join me in responding to the real life questions I know you ask daily at

SEE YOU IN THE MARKETPLACE.http://thislittlechristiangoestomarket.wordpress.com

Another Trip Around the Sun

I took one more trip around the sun recently and I am learning more than I ever dreamed. I know that it is never too late or too early to be passionate about anything. I know that what I have will never make me credible but what I do or don't do will always make a difference. I know that I will never be able to count my blessings. 

I know that it is better to take a good swimmer and a life jacket with you when you think you can walk on water. 

I know I can never meet too many incredible people, read too many great books, or set too many unreachable goals. I know that it really doesn't matter what I think some days but it always matters what I think of myself. I know to never underestimate anyone especially yourself. I know that I can be wealthy without money and poor with a bankroll. I know that I can make a regrettable mistake as quickly as I can make a profound impact. I learned that it is more important that I do something even if it turns out to be wrong than if I regret never trying. I learned I can never hurt anyone with too much love, laughter or attention but I can easily change a life without those ingredients. 

I learned that a sense of humor is essential to well being.

I learned that the best things in my life were not those I necessarily studied for, worked for, planned or even decided  and that sometimes the less I try to arrange the outcome the more effective I am.
I learned that forgiveness is rarely deserved as much as it is appreciated.  I know that sometimes life is better looked at through a young child's smile, nature or a dog's eyes. 

I know when I was 20,40 seemed old but now even 100 does not seem to be enough time. I know I love things I never dreamed I could tolerate including  the color yellow, country music and summer squash.I know I miss the people who have left my life like I always thought I would and more.

I know if I can't live with my decision, behavior, or action, I can't expect anyone else to either .

I know it isn't always about the glass being half full or half empty but sometimes about being fortunate enough to even have a glass. I know you can worry too much about how you look, what you have, who you know and what you need but never enough about where your life is going.I know that the richer my life gets by the people who enter it, the more I am humbled by the gifts I never asked for and received.

I know my husband will always be my best friend, my girlfriends my dearest companions and my God, my only hope.

I know I am a child of God and I would have known nothing had it not been for this.
