Living It Up

Reflections of Scott's life growing up without a dad and how hard father's day was.

When beginning again..... Look forward to beginning again! Choose an attitude of gratitude for having the chance start over when so many others want to but can't.

When beginning again Friday..... Does it seem like life is just too hard? Are you discouraged? Doubting that God loves you? You are not alone! When life lets you down, don’t give up. Let your trust in God go deeper. Job 5:9 (Originally recorded in 2013)

One of the most devastating things that can happen to a person is to believe no one is thinking about them. It's amazing that Jesus thinks of us as much as the number of grains of sand in all the world. That's how much He loves you and me. (originally recorded Fri Nov 22, 2014)

When beginning again today... i-Phone, i-Mac, Face book, i-Pad, etc... Are we only serving "self" instead of others! Technology is amazing and is used for many incredible applications especially this time of year. But it can never be a substitute for one BASIC human need. The physical touch between people.

It's Monday again! It's the flu season.You're overcommitted and there's traffic everywhere. All the conditions are right for stress to take over, what do you do? This insurance is all you need. It works for us every time. Psalm 107:1 (Originally recorded August 22) https://livingitup.org/Media/Player.aspx?media_id=110374&file_id=120456

Is there ever a time when you have trouble coming under authority??The authority of your employer? Ladies: how about your husband? (ouch!) How about God? Unless what you are being told to do is unethical, illegal or immoral, what is really at the root of your submission problem?

When beginning again Monday remember, It's ok to make plans but don't plan the outcome. Pray and do all you know to do and trust that whatever the outcome, it will be God's will. "We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps." Proverbs 16:9

When beginning again today remember, "If you spot it you got it." In other words, if a characteristic in someone irritates you, thank God! He loves you enough to let you see that you probably have it too! Inspired by Jesus' words in Matthew 7:3 Originally recorded July 13, 2013
