I have a real bad sweet tooth. Once I eat something with sugar in it, it is like I need to eat and eat and eat until I make myself sick. But why? I am sure it has something to do with a chemical imbalance. Research says that when we eat sugar, opioids and dopamine […]

Bitterness
What is bitterness: anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment. So many many of us are bitter, but why? If I had to guess, we feel we have been treated unfairly. Our lives are not where we expect them to be, we have been passed over for promotions, we travel for work all the […]
Listening
Have you ever met that person who just talks and talks and talks and you wonder if they are talking to hear their own voice? If not, that person might be you. Just kidding, but seriously, there are people like this in the world. James has told us more than once to listen: James 1:19 […]
Headlights
I am amazed that people do not want to use their headlights when it is dark. There are two reasons to use them: So you can see. Just as important if not more so, so others can see you. If it is dark outside, then without your headlights on, it becomes increasingly more difficult for […]
Praise God
Do you praise God ever? Why or why not? Is it only when good things happen? Why? I find that people will praise God when things are going great in their lives, but as soon as things turn bad (by their opinion), they are ready to curse God or blame Him for everything. It is […]
Simple
Sometimes the simple things are best. My web hosting company merged with another. Now the navigation to get here to post is very painful. This is true in our relationship with God. Jesus told us to become like little children. Matthew 18:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you […]
Addiction
My brother-in-law is addicted to drugs. He does not want to admit it, but he is. I can fully understand. I have a friend who is an alcoholic. He will drink about 10 Johnny Walker Black drinks per night. Over the past three years, I find myself drinking more alcohol than I have in the […]
My Bud
People tend to think of the Lord as their pal, bud, friend, but not as their creator. Why? Is it fear that if they acknowledge a creator, then the Bible may be true, which will mean they are accountable for their actions? News flash, there is a creator, the Bible is His word, and you […]
The Past
In my state, the Governor, Lt Governor, and now the Attorney General are under fire for what they did way in the past. The only one that is probably legitimate is the Lt Governor. I do not get people. Why are we trying to hold people that did something that was considered acceptable at the […]
Normal
Man and God have defined normal differently. With God, normal never changes. Numbers 23:19 New International Version (NIV) 19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 New International Version (NIV) 8 Jesus Christ is […]
