At Year's End

This year I have learned several things. . . . Here they are in no particular order.

1. A man's relationship with a woman is endangered when he does things that lead to his demise instead of the fulfillment of his life.

2. Peers are people that you share a level of success and goals with. Friendships end easily as people grow and possibly tear in different directions. Don't deny your potential or the company you keep and should keep.

3. Know the value of people, logic, God, faith, and love.

4. There is nothing wrong with telling a truth that will hurt people's feelings when understanding is at the end of your statement. (If you don't share a truth, clarify it as your version of the truth)

5. There is a difference between friends and followers. Thank you FaceBook and Twitter.

6. Every young man needs his father and if he is not available, God is and He orders the forgiveness of the man's absent father.

7. Your definition of hero should be based on one's acheivement of something they were shown by God alone. *Grandpa*

8. There is no proof that blood is thicker than water in the context of relationships, but water is more readily available than blood and both blood and water are more readily available than what we would like our family to be.

9. My relationship issues are dissolving as I dissolve the relationships that give me issues.

10. Don't panic about anything your job tells you. Just listen to God.

  1. I am not sure I agree with the following: "There is nothing wrong with telling a truth that will hurt people's feelings when understanding is at the end of your statement. (If you don't share a truth, clarify it as your version of the truth)"

    That's the difference between discernment and understanding...between wisdom and intelligence. In each pairing, one of these is a divine gift, the other is an aptitude. Only God can whittle away at vital areas of our lives without fatal results. We can do the same only when we're dialed in...Hebrews 4:12
