Chat with Hatch

In two days, I have the honor of directing the funeral for the former Administrator of Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center where my life was saved only five months ago from the on-set of Type-Two Diabetes (with a blood sugar level of 1,509) & Pancreatitus simultaneously.  Seems a bit ironic, huh?!  So… the-day-after-tomorrow, as I serve, it is my hope & prayer that all HBMC Associates present realize I am serving them (as well as the family of Mr. Scott) just as they served me recently!

In my home, I have a few photos of my late wife – there’s like one per room, including a large one over the mantle.  I have a friend who doesn’t have pictures of his/her late spouse, because he/she feels it’s saddening to c those pics.  We’re neither right nor wrong to display pics r keep ‘em in the closet.  I was jus wonderin what u think about it – how u feel about it – what works for u…

Have u ever noticed that before we can ’In with th New’, we first must ‘Out with th Old’?!!  This can b true with our mindset…  As we begin a new yr, lets Out with th Old thoughts of what may not have worked well for us & In with th New thoughts of what may work better for us in this new yr…  U c, any anxiety we may feel is surely the result of our mind(set) & our Heart not being in sync…  We often act on our thoughts, which r often not well thought out.  We really should act on our Heart’s desire:)  However, doing so won’t work IF our Heart isn’t in sync with th thoughts in our mind.  Our Hearts should rule.  I’m afraid I often put my thoughts ahead of my Heart’s desires & that’s not good.  Until 7 yrs ago, I didn’t even realize there was a difference between my thoughts & my feelings – no, I thought they were 1 in the same.  Isn’t that silly of me, to have thought that?  I’m afraid I hafta admit I often ruled with my thoughts instead of my Heart.  But no more!!!!!!!  Can our Heart ever b wrong?!!  Frankly, IDK, but I bet the desires of our Heart is more right more often than the thoughts in our mind.  I’m jus sayin…  So as we begin a new yr, I want to encourage u to join me in trying to reallyyy listen to our feelings & admit them (to ourselves).  And then ask ourselves… why is my thinking not in sync with my feelings?  Is my thinking wrong?  (Ha!  It probably is!)  I don’t know if we can change our feelings about things r people, but I know we can change our minds!  (I’m not saying our feelings won’t ever change… I’m saying we may not can change them.  Make sense?!!)  Let’s strive to get our mindset & our feelings in sync by letting our feelings rule & open our mind to new thoughts:)  And may we begin with the warm, fuzzy feelings we have inside, which is Thee Holy Spirit!  And hey… if you’re not feelin ‘It’, then perhaps u may want to consider inviting ‘It’ to not only take over (your Heart & your mind), but to freakin RULE your Heart’s desires so that u may desire that which Thee Holy Spirit desires for u!  Now folks… if we can get our Heart, Mind & Soul in sync, we can Rule The World!!!!!!!  Happy New Yr!  May this b our best yr yet:)  My Love & Christ’s Love to all of u!!!
