Deep down, women long to be seen as beautiful. Each day they are bombarded by the media and society at large by images of how they should appear. The result? Most women feel they just don't measure up - and this beauty myth has crept into our churches too. Christian women may hear that they are made in the image of God; that he looks at the heart and not the outward appearance; that they have been set free from negative thought patterns. But often all that evaporates when they look in the mirror and compare themselves to the images of beauty they see around them.

When was the last time you compared yourself to someone else? A couple of days ago? More likely it was just hours ago, perhaps only minutes Most of us struggle for affirmation of our personal significance by playing the comparison game. How do we measure up to others, what they have or what they've achieved? What is our status when compared to the expectations of others? How do we measure up to our own often unrealistic expectations of ourselves? A healthy competitive spirit can quickly degenerate into addictive, self-destructive playing of the comparison game, a game that we inevitably lose The Comparison Game (How to Disqualify Yourself from Playing), honestly addresses my own struggle with an unhealthy comparison of myself to others and the unreasonable expectations I sometimes place upon myself. The book invites the reader on a personal journey of self-discovery that can result in overcoming the addictive attitudes, thoughts, and actions that keep us playing the comparison game.

The world is filled with uncertainties, and we will never know what tomorrow holds when it comes to whether we will be here or not, but still we live as if it is promised. I prepare for tomorrow because maybe it will come, I prepare for next week being optimistic that next week might come, I prepare for next year knowing that it might not come but I am hopeful, and I prepare for my birthday next year by thanking God for the birthdays that I have already received. Nothing in life is promise to me, but I must chose if I want to live a life of selfishness or selflessness, and I chose the latter. I chose a life that at the end of the day my children will not have to suffer. The sins of the parents really do fall upon the child. Your legacy will never be about what you possess, but how you influence the lives others. No matter how ELABORATE or how EXPENSIVE the funeral, or how ELOQUENT the eulogy or the kind words people may speak of you, the life that you’ve lived will always speak for you. I read today in Proverbs 12:15 and it reads, the way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advise. I guess it is true what they say, word to the wise is sufficient.
