is as simply put as I believe it is difficult to do --it is about relinquishing every molecule of yourself and all those molecules around you. Faith is having the strength to give up and to let go. It is a rather large topic, and more to be said on the subject very soon - for sure.
I appreciate all of you. Thank you for your comments. In a way, you are staying in the shadows, yet I equate it to, perhaps being unable to see visually. The other senses take over. That is somewhat how I view faith. As I have learned to not hold things so tightly, so much more is felt and returned back to me. And, the returns are delightfully unexpected.
A Tidbit started over a year ago with thoughts, suggestions and ideas. It has moved in an entirely different direction on -- faith
Hey - happy Monday, or I guess, actually it is Tuesday - more to come......... Faith is a small word, yet it is packing a very, very, very large, wonderful concept.
Suggestion: Begin - walk away from something you want, or truly struggle with. Leave it up to faith - ask for it - yet leave it. Then pray and request to be relieved of the burden of holding on. This is a great place to start.

A NEW YOU - or SLIPPING INTO THAT COMFORTABLE SHOE?
Checking in -- Simply.
Perhaps, now with gas prices slipping, your new practice of slowing down, enjoying your ride, relaxing, etc. may be eroding.
It may be similar to any new process or change in paradigm that has been attempted before. What I have noticed with change, is that sometimes, the known, the comfortable seems larger and safer, more inviting. Yet, when I have taken a new road, even if narrow and a bit bumpy, the view at the end has been spectacular.
Again -- it's a thought. It also is hilarious to me that people are discussing lower gas prices when they are tipping below $4.00 a gallon U.S. Yet, that is an obvious $$ saving, combine that with less trips to the gas station - and, simply bank it. Like with an old Christmas Club account, create a new sofa, or vacation, or, or or account.
I'm off adventuring today. The Butterfly Conservatory in Canada and to (never been for me) Niagara-On-The-Lake. The sun is shining.
Squeeze joy - it is a option........
Namaste

MOVING TOWARD SOMETHING DIFFERENT
As is typical of -A Tidbit, I'm moving along with another thought. My path this last week, drew me to the following site: http://www.biblegateway.com/
During church last week, the discussion was on Faith. Our Equipping Pastor followed up with an e-mail with the above link, and he included a couple bible passages to search for.
I found it very interesting, and simply offer it to you........

AMAN MOTWANE
With -A Tidbit in mind, here is a quote that spoke to me loudly.
"In every encounter, in every interaction, in every connection, did I make the world better or worse?"- Aman Motwane, "Yes, You Can Change the World"
If this is a new name to you, I suggest you Google him. My reading list right now is a mile high, and he will be on it as soon as possible.
Time to get ready for tennis today. Have a great one!!!!!!!

Tire Pressure - Can It Help?
"Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall." - Stephen Covey
I read the above quote, and also heard about Barack Obama's comment about gas mileage and tire pressure as I was contemplating changing the blog topic today.
Interesting, I thought. I'm certain he has not seen this blog, yet he picked up on something we have been chatting about in this tribe of ours. (Anyone read Seth Godin's blog regarding Tribes and the new book he is writing?)
Personally, what I would have liked to have heard is that a reduction in fuel consumption is possible with people's greater responsibility and accountability with vehicle maintenance and use. For example, keep tires properly inflated.
More soon - I've been chillin a bit - summer is almost over, and I'm grabbing it's last breath.
What are you doing?

ANOTHER PERSON'S STORY - REGARDING FUEL CONSERVATION
CLARK COUNTY, Wash. - Vancouver resident Danni Brancaccio says she doesn't consider herself "super green." But an attempt to save some money on gas has led to an experiment in extreme fuel conservation that would make any tree-hugger proud. She is attempting to drive her car all summer on just one tank of gas. Brancaccio doesn't drive a gas-sipping hybrid and isn't towing around a trailer full of fuel. She drives an average Honda sedan that probably gets good mileage but has not been modified in any way. With just over a month of summer still left to go, the gas gauge is definitely tilting towards empty.
But Brancaccio isn't worried. Like many drivers, she's changed her routine to cut back on buying gas, but it's safe to say she has cut back much more than most people. Typically, she drives her car 1.5 miles to a park-and-ride facility where she gets on a bus with many other commuters and goes to work. She said she drives slower now and uses cruise control when possible to save gas.
The difference is that she now arrives an hour early due to the bus schedule. That's no problem, though, as it gives her time to read."I've read a lot this summer," she said as she relaxed in a lobby before going to work. "I've read about 10 books."Brancaccio also picks up rides from friends and sometimes borrows her mother's car to avoid using her own.
But she also walks a lot more and said she's switched from heels to flat shoes for more comfort. She says she still has many other tricks to use to stretch that last quarter-tank to the finish line. She thinks she can drive about 3 miles per day at the most and still make it. While she said she doesn't consider herself a staunch environmentalist, she "respects the fact that… we need to be wary about what we do" when it comes to fuel use.Brancaccio is tracking her experiment with a blog accessible through the Vancouver Colombian newspaper's Web site.
There was a previous post which asked for other ideas about what people can do to make a difference. I think the most important thing people can do --- is simply, begin. As mentioned in previous blog posts and comments, that which began as a project to conserve fuel, has evolved into multiple opportunities and benefits.
If you don't currently have stock in the oil industry, perhaps get some, or, how about taking steps to conserve, and use less. You will save, and the oil industry might have more need.
