"DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION" --- THIS IS A CONCEPT I CAME UPON IN A BUSINESS MAGAZINE. THE FOCUS IS ON "DISRUPTIVE" -- A NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING. A NEW WAY FOR DOING ..... OF COURSE DISRUPTIVE IS INCONVENIENT AND UNCOMFORTABLE---IT MESSES WITH THE STATUS QUO----IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE WE GET COMFORTABLE AND DON'T WANT TO CHANGE AS LONG AS OUR NEED/DESIRES ARE BEING MET. THIS IS TRUE IN BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, CHURCH, EDUCATION AND PERSONAL LIFE.---HOWEVER IT IS IN THE NATURE OF CREATION FOR THINGS TO CHANGE, EVOLVE. I THINK GOD DISRUPTS, INNOVATES IN OUR LIVES. IT KEEPS US ON OUR TOES, ALERT. INSTEAD OF BEING AFRAID OF CHANGE WE CAN MEET IT IN FAITH, TRUST, GRACE .........DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION......

"...HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING  YOU TO GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS; ....."  (Psalms 91:11) -- this is beyond my comprehension, but I am not God--I do know there have been incidents along the way of my life in which it seems to me i escaped disaster for some unknown reason. Why are some saved from harm and others not? I don't know.  However the One who sees from eternity to eternity comprehends each persons life. I am content to trust God and to be grateful for the angels who are there either to save me from harm now or to escort me to the life beyond.

You are under the shadow of His wings today

THE GIFT OF A NEW DAY----WE SET FORTH UPON THE PATH TO DISCOVER WHAT
GOD IS DOING TODAY AND HOW WE CAN PARTICIPATE......

BLESSINGS AND LOVE,

FW: thought

We have been watching a video at Church from the Truth project on
intelligent design of the universe. Very scientific, highly mathematical
and cosmological. I have been amazed at how much order there is in
things. The information (intelligence) that makes our DNA work, which
would be impossible in random order, by itself is awesome. It has built
up my confidence so much that there absolutely is a God and He is in
control and He has ordered the universe for His plans.

"God is not a god of confusion. The Holy Spirit works in order and in decency. Spiritual movement is always from chaos to cosmos; from disorder to order; disorganization to organization." (Mueller) -- Seems to me a meaningful thought to plant in the soil of our minds today.

Blessings,

"HERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO PUT IT: YOU'RE HERE TO BE LIGHT, BRINGING OUT THE GOD-COLORS IN THE WORLD."   --Matthew 5:14 (MSG) --NO MATTER WHAT IS YOUR ACTIVITY TODAY, FROM INSIDE YOU CAN COME A SPIRIT, A ATTITUDE, A SMILE, A THANK YOU, A WORD OF AFFIRMATION, ENCOURAGEMENT.......THAT WILL BLESS ----SHOW   GOD-COLOR.....

I'm still thinking ... what to add ... some days it's hard to find the
calm & peace ... but I know it's there ... in the conversation with a
spouse or friend or parent ... the cat sleeping peacefully on my lap ...
middle-of-the-night quiet when all are asleep and I get up for water ...
food for thought ... to look for the goodness

DO NOT WASTE THE EXPERIENCE-LEARN FROM IT-

A MOMENT OF CALM-PEACE-WELL BEING-

A MOMENT OF CALM-PEACE-WELL BEING---COULD IT BE THE PRESENCE OF "YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL"? -- WHAT WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND IS MERELY THE "TIP OF THE ICEBERG" OF REALITY BEYOND THE VISIBLE. -- WHETHER ONE IS 8 OR 78 THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES AND I BELIEVE THE FUNDAMENTAL GOODNESS WORKS ITS WAY TO THE SURFACE SOONER OR LATER, AND WE PARTICIPATE.......WELL, YOU FINISH THESE RAMBLINGS.......

I CAN DO WHAT I WILL DO---I WILL DO WHAT I CAN DO

I CAN DO WHAT I  WILL DO---I WILL DO WHAT I  CAN DO.---to sow seeds of kindness, forgiveness, to help and not expect payback, to say  thank you to the person who lets me into the line of traffic, to make allowance for my own imperfections and the imperfections of others, to encourage, to listen without giving a lot of answers, .........to live aware now.......(and you can add your own list....)
