BP 84 - Who I Am

























Even though I was born into sin and, thus, born “a sinner” (by identity), such an identity is no longer the case for me.  Because of Jesus, I’m Not a Sinner.  No.  I’m A Son of The Father, I’m Jesus’ Baby Brother, and… I’m A Temple Oasis for The Holy Spirit. In addition to this, I am and am becoming The Rightwiseness [see definition at the end of this post] of God.

THIS is who I am.  Because of Jesus.

Rightwiseness, a defintion:  The Wise-, Just, and Harmonious-ordering of Oneself in and by The Trinity.

BP 84 (for Monday 20 Apr)

“Entering the Iron: Taking the Way that Hurts” Pain. We all feel it, struggle with it, suffer through it. As challenging as it is to bear, I’m exceedingly grateful for pain; for it, in and of itself, can be intensely illuminating. Pain, if I’m listening properly to it, can tell me a lot about my current situation. It can tell me… 1/When there’s something wrong within myself. 2/When a perceived wrong is being (or has been) committed against me. 3/When I perceive that I’m committing (or have committed) a wrong against someone else. 4/When I’ve exceeded my limits. Like when I’ve pushed myself too far and taken ill or suffered a repetitive-use injury, a sprained ankle, or a pulled muscle. 5/When I haven’t pushed myself far enough and am suffering the pangs of guilt arising from half-hearted, easy-way-out behaviors. 6/When I lose something and feel really badly about it (or don’t). It can be really illuminating to lose something and yet not only NOT feel badly about it but feel relieve...

BP 79 - Make Social Media Inviting and Enjoyable Again (for Monday 2026-02-02)

Image
Greetings... This post is NOT my attempt to control anything anyone posts.  That's not my place.  I'd rather use this forum to encourage anyone who posts on social media to post only things that are GOOD , TRUE , and/or BEAUTIFUL .  If what you're about to post is neither  GOOD , TRUE , nor  BEAUTIFUL , do us all a favor and keep it to yourself. Speaking up for myself only (and whomever might like to join me in this), I'm not interested in anyone's partisan-driven political views.  Most partisan-driven political posts that I encounter on social media often lean toward the extreme and, most likely, find their basis in half-truths, egregious polemics, flagrant exaggeration, and outright falsehood.  Often, such posts label those who disagree with the one who posted it as being totally worthy of public shaming (or worse).  That's really saddening to me. In the past, I've posted political opinions.  And I regret those that were partisan-driven....

BP14: Ultimate Vulnerability: An Open Letter to a Friend

Greetings, friends... I first wrote this letter almost ten years ago. I wrote it to myself and to a few other people I was thinking of at the time. Have you ever written yourself a letter before? Maybe after reading this, you'll write something to your own heart that you need to hear. It is my fervent prayer that this letter speaks to you in some way. -- My dear friend… To discover who you are and what you’re about requires great humility and genuineness. It requires you to look at who you are without pretense or artificiality. Learning to live congruently (basically, in accordance with who you are and with what you’re about) also requires great humility and genuineness. Beyond that, it requires vulnerability, because it necessitates that you empty yourself of anything that’s not you or that doesn’t belong. In doing this, voids (of a sort) are created, or, rather, are revealed. And they must be filled. But they can’t be filled by you through an act of applied force of will...
