BlissfullyHealthy 01/23/18 Conviction

Hello my friends, I am so sorry I have not wrote in this blog for so long. No excuse. I allowed my self pity for some personal trama in my life to derail this project. For today, I am writing. I hope you enjoy. My word for the day during my devotional time kept coming up - conviction. Do I let my convictions stand in the way of loving people and letting people love me? Do I stand on a conviction and judge others without truly knowing what they are experiencing or dealing with? So here's what has been inspired on my Heart: Do I .... Stand in Conviction Or Stand with Conviction? And.... Either one I chose (Check that word, mine to own right?) where is my heart? My own righteousness or the love and compassion for others? May this post today help you with what is convicting you and may it move you towards love. His peace be with you. Be BlissfullyHealthy, Tom Blog.blissfullyhealthy.org P.S. If you would like to know more about what...

DailyBFO 12/06/17 Right or redeemed?

In this world of fast paced action and moving I find myself striving to be right in conversations. I have lately found myself trying this with God. Today my thought was simple but yet profound: Be right or be redeemed? His peace to you, Tom DailyBFO.org

DailyBFO 12/04/17 Lean Into It

When the wind of adversity is against me I have a few choices: 1. Be blown over by it Or 2. Pull my arms in, head down and Lean into it On 2 I sure wished I was a kite so I could just soar over the challenge but leaning in will still give me the needed aerodynamics to take another step forward. Peace to you, Tom DailyBFO.org

DailyBFO 11/27 Crisis

In the midst of struggle and turmoil it is hard to see any light. On Sunday the sermon at Watermark Community Church rang very true to me. Our college minister Adam Turnow gave the following important points: In a crisis 1. Remind yourself that this is to be expected - John 16:33 2. Remind yourself this is not a punishment  3. Remind yourself of God's promise - Deuteronomy 31:6 To help you remember His promise: Hold up your hand with fingers out and point to each one and say God (pointing to finger 1), Will (2), Never (3), Leave (4), You (5) John 16:33 New International Version (NIV) 33  "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. A )" style="line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;">  In this world you will have trouble. B )" style="line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;"> But take heart! I have overcome C )" style="line-height: 22px; vertical-align: top;">  the world." Duet 31:6 Be strong and cou...

DailyBFO 11/17/17 Darkness

I am finding that the darkness is creeping into the front ground of my life. Kids, wife, in-law, holiday, grief for missing family, and on and on. It feels almost impossible to breath at times. I remember, it is easier to see the stars in the sky when the earth and where I am at is darkest. This is where I need to focus...on things I am grateful for even if it seems far away and out of reach I can see the light. Darkness then seems to not be so dark, just like star gazing. My eyes adjust to the little amount of light and more light comes into my preview. It was always there I am just now able to see it with a little more perspective. I won't give in to the darkness but rather change my viewing angle. May your view always be filled with amazing light and Blissfully Healthy perspective. Happy thanksgiving. I hope to post some next week but I must focus on my priorities...my family (beautiful shining stars!) Found this photo to represent the visual feeling. Enjoy https://stat...
