Life happens to all of us.
One minute we’re up. The next minute we’re down. If those two options don’t suit, we’re a mixture of sideways, upside down, or inside out.
Whatever the case life is unrelenting at times, barely allowing us to breathe.
If we are not careful about how we deal with life’s challenges, they will wear us down.
Life has a way of backing us into a corner at times.
If we were honest with ourselves, we would affirm life backs us into a corner much of the time!
Why do we find ourselves up against the ropes, dodging a right hook or a left jab, with an unending volley of punches landing with blunt force?
Wise words are like deep waters. Wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook. Proverbs 18:4 (NLT)

It’s 2015 and it has been nearly four decades since the first of the six “Rocky” movies was released (1976).
I recall being a sophomore in college and going to see the first movie when it debuted.

It’s been nearly a month since I last sat down to write and record a post on this blog.
It has been the longest stretch without writing I have had in a very long time.’
I ached to do so!
First of all, my apologies for essentially dropping off the radar with zero notice!
Part of me really does not want to want to travel the road of writing this post.
A deeper part of me knows I must.
We are told “for everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven…a time to laugh and a time to cry…a time to embrace and a time to turn away.”
A season in our lives is about to close today, a “turning away” is at hand.
