Hello Friends,

Here’s a provocative blog post from Karl Moore, www.karlblog.com:

Are you a survivor – or an adventurer?

It’s an interesting question and your answer can prove to be quite revealing.

You see, if you consider yourself to be a survivor then it appears that you see life as being a struggle, one that you’ve had to toil over or made sacrifices for.

Survivors tend to believe that life is one obstacle after another that they have to overcome.

If you consider yourself to be an adventurer, then life has a completely different outlook … life is full of excitement, abundance and wonderful places to explore.

Adventurers believe that life is full of amazing experiences that they can enthusiastically embrace.

What you choose can make a difference to your outlook on life.

Adventurers tend to have a much more positive experience – even if some of their escapades appear to have been a lesson in survival!

Survivors, on the other hand, tend to have more negative experiences. They think life is going to be tough and, inevitably, it is.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

‘We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities’.

We create our journey … we decide whether it will be an exercise in survival or a wonderful adventure.

I know which one I’d choose.

Do you?

Enjoy an adventurous day!

God is Blessing You, Right Now!

If you haven’t done so already, soon you will be taking down the Christmas tree and putting away the lights and Christmas decorations for another year. The nativity scene has been put away. But will you also be putting away the Christ for another year?

So now what? At Christmas we affirmed the birth of the Christ within us. So what happens now? Where do we go from here?

We often go back to the same old routine, the same patterns and beliefs, the same mistakes we have made before. We forget that we have affirmed a truth of our being, of the presence of God born into our awareness in a whole new way.

I was reminded of this recently when talking to a man who was telling me about his dog. He said, “We have a wonderful little dog in our family, but he does some stupid things. He likes chocolate, and chocolate is poison to dogs. A few weeks ago somebody brought a chocolate cake over. They had put it on the
