Truth or Consequences


Only the young at heart probably remember the game show
" Truth or Consequences". It was a fun program where you had to answer silly questions before the buzzer sounded and if wrong had to perform some kind of off the wall stunt. but also sometimes contestants got to be reunited with family members they hadn't seen in awhile. Silly as it sounds I relate to the very name of the show and it's concept. THINK ABOUT IT...

We all at some point in our lives have to eventually come face to face with truth...It can be revelatory, or maybe painful..It can sometimes bring relief or burden...even conviction. we may get the answers to lifes questions right or totally get them wrong and we find ourselves jumping through hoops and performing for people to make it fit some how when in fact we are living a total lie. There was a girl I once knew who lived most of her life in a lie.. Trying to answer all the questions right but somehow just couldn't beat that dang BUZZER!!

She had excepted the consequences for her life and decisions she made. But as jesus said, " The truth will set you free". If you find yourself performing maybe you should ask yourself the question...Is this truth? Who knows you just might beat that BUZZER.
P.S. And who knows what relationships can be mended (what family member may show up unexpectantly) during this game called LIFE.

Live or Memorex

Wouldn't it be nice to just hit the pause button and stop the recorded messages that have been played over and over in your head? "I think therefore Iam" wow... but what exactly is it we are thinking? I'm not good enough or smart enough or rich enough or loved enough ?
self doubt accusation etc... I must have done something wrong or I failed.
Well as Dr. Phil says " How's that workin for ya"?
How many times in our course of the day do we relate to failing somewhere? I would like to think that in whatever situation I'm in there is a lesson to be learned. my father always said...
" is your cup half empty or half full"? The truth of the matter is... If I chose to operate in a negative place I find myself stuck playing negative recordings. but if I chose to operate in victory and success I will gain victory and be successful. I don't know about you but I chose the latter.
So my suggestion is... Stop the recordings throw out the old 8 track tapes and download some new CD's. You'll be much happier
