Thanking God

Do you take credit or do you give it to God?  I use to take credit for those instances when brilliance would hit me and that proverbial light bulb would go off.  At work I try to deflect when people say thanks for the information or help or whatever as I know it is not […]

Eating too much

Why do I eat too much? I wish I knew the answer. For the most part I eat decent,  My breakfast typically consists of a smoothie with a banana, blueberries, kale, pineapple, protein powder, flax seed, chia seeds, yogurt, and water.  I will eat an apple sometime during the day as well as an orange.  […]

Always accepted

Have you ever been rejected by someone?  If the answer is yes, and I am sure it is yes for everyone at some point in time, then you know how it feels.  So then why have you turned around and rejected someone else? Was Jesus always accepted?  No.  In his day, is home town rejected […]

Doing the right thing

Why does it seem so hard for people and businesses to do the right thing?  Honestly I have no clue.  I will not say that I have always done the right thing, but I strive to do so. Part of me thinks maybe people just do not know what the right thing is.  They were […]

Black Lives Matter

I am so sick and tired of hearing this phrase, Black Lives Matter.  That is true for all lives, not just black ones.  I realize they are tired of being singled out for crimes, but is that really true. If the population of an area is 80% Black, 10% Hispanic, and10% Caucasian, then does it […]

Fighting with the Spouse

I am sure anyone who has been married or dated has fought with their spouse or partner or boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.  The question is why are you fighting.? Proverbs 18:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding     but delight in airing their own opinions Today my wife asked me a series of questions […]

Last Man Standing

About two weeks ago or so, my wife and I started watching Last Man Standing.  I like and dislike the show at the same time and that goes for all the characters on the show. The show seems to at times criticize Christianity and it heavily criticizes our current government.  I realize that Tim Allen […]

Supreme Court Justice

Whether anyone likes it or not, it is within the power of the President to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice.  i know a lot of people are asking Obama to hold off until the new President, Democrat or Republican is voted into office. I say Mr. President, chose a conservative person to balance out […]

Humble or Arrogant?

Are you humble or arrogant?  We should all be humble, but lets be real.  There are times when we all want to think we are more important than really are.  Part of it is inherent in who we are as humans, but part of it is taught.  In today’s world, if you are not perceived […]

Freemason Friend

I have a friend who is a Freemason.  While he never talked about that organization much, I do know that he was a high ranking person at one time.  He is still proud of that organization and I can’t help but wonder if he is not contemplating going back in to the organization. The pastor […]
