The theme of June's Inspire-O-Gram is spiritual healing.

I think we're all in a constant, lifelong process of spiritual healing, because hardly a day goes by when your heart doesn't get bruised or battered in some way.

One of the requirements for spiritual healing is getting over regrets...

As you journey through life, you're bound to suffer loss. You can become bitter, or you can trust and believe that God has something better...

Life in my rear-view mirror

Don't need no headlights on my ride,
Don't care if it's cloudy or clear,
I don't look where I'm goin'
'cause I live in the past.
I keep my eyes on my rear-view mirror.

Big 18-wheeler be crowdin' my lane
I oughta be shakin' with fear,
But it don't make no difference
'cause I eat my own dust
as I look in my rear-view mirror.

I'm a bat outta yesterday,
travelin' too fast,
but my mind's grindin' in reverse gear.
How I wish I could see
where I'm goin' to be,
but I'm glued to that rear-view mirror.

Yeah, some day I'll crash
and they'll vacuum me up,
just a lump and a bump and a smear,
and the trooper will say
as they wipe me away,
"He had bird doo
on his rear-view
mirror."

You'll have to admit, you don't get poetry of that quality anywhere else on the Internet. (Huh?)

Quote time...

Well, it's hard to argue with that. Sometimes we singles think we're Pretty-Darn-Good-The-Way-I-Am-Thank-You-Very-Much!

Except we're not. I don't want to be like me the rest of my life. Yuck! I want to be like Jesus. It's an impossible goal, until you understand that that's exactly what He wants for you too.

Another f'reebie!

I've put together a f'ree booklet about Lincoln's perseverance, which you'll find on the bottom of the page at Mini-Encouragers...

Another shameless ebook plug

Like you, I can't resist being outdoors in the summer, so it takes some willpower to work on revising the first draft.

But hey! Now that I've got a hard copy of it and a red pen, there's always my lawn chair, a cool beverage (nonalcoholic, natch!), and my faithful canine companion Charlie at my side.

Watch Inspire-O-Gram for further developments on Single & Sure. It's gonna be a doozy!

Do I really want healing or am I unnecessarily clinging to my wound for some reason?

Ultimately, justice--which we all want and deserve--can only come from God. He's the one to settle accounts, not us.

We can make ourselves grouchy and miserable, or we can ask God to help us move on.

Christ is the Great Physician, but even the best doctor can only help those patients who want to be healed.
