Changes to Life Above the Negativity
I’ve just completed changes to LifeAbovetheNegativity.com Some people using IE8 were having real issues viewing the site. I was using an old theme called Frugal that has been replaced by Catalyst. (It’s what’s running RevTrev.com as well) There’s a plugin to transfer frugal to Catalyst and it went rather smoothly. I’ve done it enough that I know what I need to change. The biggest change is I took off the blog. I’ve been wanting to do it for some time. [...] Read more »

Cleaning Up and Negativity
So I was reading through my rss feeds today and came across a post by John Saddington on Adding an Archive Page to your WordPress blog. With so many posts I’ve been wondering how I can make RevTrev.com more navigable. An archive page is a great way to do it. Naturally I decided I should create an archive.php page, since how hard can it be since I’ve never done it before? John has a great step-by-step process and gives you the [...] Read more »

The re-launch of LifeAbovetheNegativity.com
It’s about time I let people know about the re-launch of Life Above the Negativity. I’ve turned it from a static site to one that will become a community that helps each other live positively in a negative world. It will still be the centre of our annual negativity fast, but there is so much more to it and it’s only going to grow. I still need to ad an affiliate program, but there are other more pressing things I [...] Read more »
Love: Do Everything In It – Day 40
Truth: We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion–how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that [...] Read more »
The Antidote to Negativity – Day 9
Truth: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version) Thought: Love is the antidote to negativity. How can you act in love and [...] Read more »
Replacing Lies With the Truth – Day 18
Truth: You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. Psalm 16:11 (New Living Translation) Thought: Many have lies they choose to believe. These lies come in to help us “heal” wounds that we’ve been afflicted with. It’s not actual healing that occurs; it’s a snare of the enemy to gain a stronghold in our lives. Try this exercise: List 10 words of affirmation that have [...] Read more »
Is Patience Inaction? – Day 12
Truth: Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:2-4 (New Living Translation) Thought: Is patience the same as inaction? Patience is releasing your will so God’s will can be done through you. God’s will has [...] Read more »
Our Strength in No Secret – Day 10
Truth: This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 (New International Version) Thought: The book of Nehemiah is such a good analogy for our fast from negativity. If I would have seen it early enough, the “40 Days for Life Above the Negativity” would have been 52 days, since that’s how long it took the people to re-build the walls of Jerusalem to a defensible position and [...] Read more »
Guard Your Heart – Day 3
Truth: Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) Thought: The breastplate protects the heart. The Breastplate of Righteousness described by Paul in Ephesians 6 is not from works gained from the Law (Philippians 3:9) but it is the righteousness of Christ we put on by faith (2 Corinthians 5:21). 1 Thessalonians uses the same motif of a breastplate and describes it as faith and love. But since we belong to the [...] Read more »
