The 4 R's: Final Thoughts and Things to Come

Final Thoughts . . .

As in all things that matter (and if anything matters, then everything matters!) it is a process and a journey. In the path of reconciliation, nothing (and no one) is ever abandoned. But sometimes it will require letting go . . .

There is wisdom to be had in remembering the Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.”
-- Reinhold Niebuhr

Though there be hardships on the Journey, we are never alone.

Coming sometime (as opposed to coming soon . . . my work schedule is crazy . . .) I will visit the following "Rhema-nations" . . .

Fuzzy Leadership

Brokenness

"Loosing my Religion"

& "Expectancy vs. Expectation"

Until then . . .

~ Shalom
