December 24th - Reality Acknowledged

 The story...

My desk's a mess.  True, I don't currently have a designated place to put everything and I've more stuff than I need.  Yet, I know that I can organize my desk - I've done it in the past and I've the resources to make it happen.  Being organized is better and I've got the time to do it.  In fact, I expect that I'll actually enjoy the process once I get started.  So, why don't I get started?  I understand that this introspective quality is uniquely human.  It's so freeing to be grounded closer to reality than our imaginary "world" that we create and wish to be true.  Might our best introspective efforts be an illusion?

The only church in town will receive the reality that's written in the Apostle Paul's book of Ephesians and Philippians.  There you will find wonderful revelations from our Creator that you won't discover through self reflection.  Why?  He reveals them to love His creatures - us.

Just for today...

"Focusing on ourselves simply means that when we acknowledge the situation as it actually is, we look at our options instead of looking at the options available to other people. We consider what is within our power to change instead of expecting others to do the changing."  Courage to Change (p. 359)
