Catabolic vs. Anabolic Choice

Many of us walk around feeling like we have limited choices in many aspects of our lives. Take notice of how many times a day you say the words have to, should, and need to. Whenever you feel like you must do something, you’re in Level 1 energy – you’re a victim or at the effect of your thoughts or circumstances.

In fact, when you’re faced with a task or something to do, there are five basic ways you can respond, and of them, only one is by full conscious choice.

The five ways of responding are “I won’t,” “I have to,” “I need to,” “I want Read More

Spitfires to Space Capsules

From Spitfires to Space Capsules, the National Air and Space Museum keeps getting better with age. The wonderful sky mural by Eric Sloane still covers one huge wall, and “Spirit of St. Louis” still greets visitors.

Paul wrote to the churches, “It was he [Jesus] who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers” (Ephesians 4:11).

In fact, Paul makes this clear to the readers by adding that the purpose of these positions are, “to prepare God’s people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up” (Ephesians 4:12). The body of Read More
