A Bahama Breeze

Last evening I had a wonderful conversation with some terrific ladies, including a young lady from the Bahamas who leads a bible study group. I was struck by her personal devotion and comfort in her faith. She made a very good point about intention. One's daily actions should always be driven by the best intentions or focus. We may fall, we may fail, but our intentions toward God and our fellow humans are paramount.

Confession #107: I have always taken umbrage to the expression, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." Seems to set up a lose-lose equation. I have no idea how I may be judged some day, if I even will be. I like to hold out hope that Divine and unconditional love will save me. However, I think my INTENTIONS should speak loudly.

Confession #108: Having said that, (she said in a whisper), sometimes I do NOT have the most honorable of intentions. Gulp.
