Why is that our children do not want to learn from our mistakes. If my parents had ever said to me, do not do this, I would have asked why. Now I cannot guarantee that I would have done as they requested, but I do not know. However, I would have at least knew what […]

Joyful
Lets start with what is joyful? Full of joy, as a person or one’s heart; glad; delighted. Showing or expressing joy, as looks, actions, or speech. Causing or bringing joy, as an event, a sight, or news; delightful. The word joy is used in each one of those, so what is joy? noun The emotion […]
Choices
I remember reading a story about a young man who was working at a fast food type job who was very happy. One of his customers could not understand how this individual was always happy so he decided to interview the young man to find out how he could go through life being as happy […]
Habits
Somethings become habit and when we stop doling them, we feel awful at first, but then quickly get use to not doing those things anymore. I had gotten in the habit of posting on a fairly regular basis except on Sundays, but one thing led to another and before you know it my posts are […]
Corruption
Everywhere you look these days, there is corruption. We have Comey testing about our President and his interference in the Russia investigation. Honestly, I do not trust Comey and never did.

Man’s Wisdom
First what is wisdom? Oxford English Dictionary defines wisdom as “Capacity of judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct; soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends; sometimes, less strictly, sound sense, esp. in practical affairs: opp. to folly;” also “Knowledge (esp. of a high or abstruse kind); enlightenment, learning, erudition.” […]

Hardened Heart
Is your heart hardened? Would you even know if it was? Is there a way to fix it? I at times have absolutely zero sympathy for people. For example, there is a person who gave tattoos out of their house and now people are having all kinds of problems ranging from infections to Hepatitis C. […]
Haters will hate
The expression “Haters will hate” or Haters gonna hate” is a way of saying that there will always be those people who will hate no matter what. But why is this? There are many reasons why a person is so negative, but that really does not matter. What is important is that you ignore all […]
Criticism
In our society today, if anyone criticizes someone else, it is the person that is criticizing that is the enemy and treated as though they are the plague versus accepting the criticism as something where that person can improve. Not sure when all this came about, but if I had to guess, somewhere in the […]
