Some people think that everything should be free. Recently a Socialist won the 14th congressional district. She ran on the hatred of capitalism. The Socialist party thinks that private ownership of a wide range of industries that are considered a necessity is wrong and wants workers or states to control them. So why would anyone […]

Discipline
I am trying to lose weight. Currently, I weigh about 235, but I want to get down to 200. When I first started I weighed over 265, but now I seem to have stagnated at 235. Ugh! Like anything in life, it takes discipline. Weight loss for some is easy, but for others such as […]
Talents
We all have talents that God has blessed us with. Then we have talents that we acquire through time, but we may never really be a master of them. No matter what, God expects us to use our talents in a way that glorifies Him. He also expects us to be content with what we […]
Love Like Jesus
I have been reading this devotional which talks about how to love like Jesus. The author makes some very interesting points and references some very good Bible versus. Jesus loved everyone unconditionally and instructed us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. He also gave some good information in this verse: Matthew 5:43-48 New […]
More of you Lord
The pastor said something that resonated with me today. He made the comment that he started praying one way, then it changed, then it changed again. I could relate to that because my prayers have changed as well. The pastor said that when he started praying it was more for him, but then he changed […]
Yield
When I was growing up, yield meant for me to slow down and proceed with caution and try to match the speed of the on coming traffic, but stop is necessary. Today it means speed up and flip people off if they do not let you in. My son was traveling on a highway where […]
Injury
About a week ago I tore my pectoral muscle. It hurt. I tried to lift the same weight a few minutes later to see if it was really torn. I was able to lift the weight, but it hurt. I dropped the weight down and tried and it still hurt. I decided then to stop […]
Cheating
I like so many others want something from God, but when God asks us for something we balk. There are a number of reasons why we decide that we cannot do what God has asked, but none of them are worth anything. This brings me to cheating. Why do we cheat? We act like know […]
Obesity
Obesity is rampant in our country. The question is why? Is it due to lack of discipline? Is it due to sedentary lifestyle? Is it due to eating the wrong foods? Is it due to the desires of the flesh? The answer is all of the above plus more. I bet you are going great, […]
Healing
We all are hurting in some fashion. It may be physical or mental or spiritual. Today lifting weights I felt a sharp pain in my chest/shoulder while bench pressing. My immediate thought was a torn pectoral muscle. I rested for a few minutes, and then tried to bench the weight again. I was successful, but […]
