4:48 – Still Waiting To Be Saved? #faithbites #faithjourney saved Setting This may sound like a pity party or me being selfish. I often want people to do things for me. I would love for someone to say, “Sol, here is the perfect job for you.” Another is someone just dropping off goodies or doing things for me. In a […]
4:47 – Time to Prepare for Lent #faithbites #faithjourney prepare Setting Today is Fat Tuesday. I don’t know about you but I’d love to have a Paczki but there is no way I’m getting out of my neighborhood today with the snow. Oh well, we can party like it’s New Orleans in my own house. Beads for everyone. Fat Tuesday […]
4:46 – How Are You Motivated? #faithbites #faithjourney motivated Setting Yesterday, I decided that I would choose motivation for the #faithbites topic but then changed it to love as it was Valentine’s Day. I thought that how we are motivated is essential for success. For some it’s internal motivation, others it’s external. But as God would have it, he was […]
4:45 – Love Is What Keeps Us Together #faithbites #faithjourney Keeps Setting Today is Valentine’s Day which for many is a day of love. Today also happens to be my mother’s wedding day.

4:43 – Enemies or Opponents? #faithbites #faithjourney enemies Setting I saw an article the other day that said we used to call members of different political parties “opponents” now they are “enemies”. Is this a simple word choice? Wikidiff has this comparison: “As nouns the difference between opponent and enemy is that opponent is an individual or group who is […]
4:42 – Boost Someone Up #faithbites #faithjourney boast Setting During my morning shower, the song, When You’re Good To Momma, from Chicago the Musical popped into my head. The lyrics that hit home today are, “The folks atop the ladder /Are the ones the world adores /So boost me up my ladder, kid/ And I’ll boost you up yours”. This […]
4:40 – Live in Love #faithbites #faithjourney live Setting Valentine’s Day is coming us and love is on many people’s mind. I’ve talked about love a lot here and was surprised when I searched for the day and it too was about love. Last night was a bit rough with my youngest. Lots of yelling, fighting, and being mad. While […]
4:39 – Follow Through Is Hard #faithbites #faithjourney through Setting Here’s something that may shock you, I’m not perfect! I’m far from it. One of my weak points is follow through. I am good at doing things when I have specific tasks but sometimes following through on a commitment is hard. It’s not that I don’t want to do it […]
4:38 – A Little Bit of Extra Effort Yields More Time #faithbites #faithjourney effort Setting I often say I’m busy and I don’t have enough time to do what I need or want to do. Today I realized that sometimes if you put in just a bit of extra effort, you can get more time. As many know, I serve […]
4:37 – Love Doesn’t Boast #faithbites #faithjourney boast Setting I was walking with my youngest and the dog this morning and thinking about how we raise our children. Some raise with guidance, some with rules, some with compassion, and some with strictness. And yes, there are mixes and variations of these. I was thinking about those who boast of their […]
