Power and Passion

I felt all morning like writing, sat down, logged on and my mental capacity has deserted me!

What gives us power and what generates our passion?

Is our passion fuelled by that which enpowers us, or must we be passionate about something before it will provide us with power?

A Christian perspective might lead to the power coming from our passion - we have been told to seek first the kingdom of God, all things can be done through Christ who strengthens us, set our mind on things above. This is where our focus will provide the fight - if our direction and desires are sound, the strength will follow.

So a life empty of passion will suffer from the need to be empowered.

Stand for something or fall for anything.

A two minded man is unstable in all his ways. (A non minded man will likewise suffer).

Good friends over last night for dinner. Getting late, fading fast, push through for an eternal value lies in meaningful discussion that the desire for sleep would rob me of.

The four year old perspective on the world continues to enlighten my grumpy eyes. It is easy to lose a cheery disposition when you have no presence requiring you to maintain it, apart from yourself and a long suffering spouse. The responsibility of caring for and sharing in a child's life, even for a short while as protector, guide, teacher, is an honour. Thank you Tullie for being a special part of my life.
