I am so sick and tired of hearing the media, politicians, celebrities, etc report that there is a wage gap between men and women. First off when they are talking about wage gaps, they are looking at the entire workforce which is completely wrong. Some jobs simply do not pay as much as others and […]

Privilege
Privilege means that you or your group have a special right, advantage, or immunity beyond what most have. I saw a video on YouTube the other day by Buddy Brown about privilege and I have to say I agree. I was however shocked to see so my thumbs down, but after I thought about, it […]
Be Content
I know that at times I like to complain because things are not going the way I want. Take my job as I mentioned yesterday, I would rather be home with the family than on the road. Matthew 6:25-26 New International Version (NIV) Do Not Worry 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your […]
Lessons
God will teach us many things throughout our lives. We do not always understand nor do we always learn, but He still provides us with an education. As I have said in the past, I travel for my work. Frankly, I hate it. I hate leaving my home for a long period of time to […]
Contentment
Last Sunday the pastor of our church preached about contentment. One of the verses about being content that resonated with me was: Hebrews 13:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will […]
Everything is Free
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 […]
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 […]
Joy
I have been reading a devotional by Oswald Chamber on joy. What is joy: Is acquired by the anticipation, acquisition or even the expectation of something great or wonderful. Is evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires. Most people equate joy as happiness or pleasure or […]
Entitlement
This past Sunday, 6Nov16, I was driven to the airport by a young man who had two jobs, a taxi driver and an insurance salesman. This got me thinking about entitlement. This post is not about possessions, but about why do people think it is ok to take money and expect to live as one […]
Playing favorites
I really had know idea what I was going to talk about tonight, but a discussion with my daughter kind of guided me. As a parent, I have always tried to make sure that both of my kids knew I loved them equally. When they were young, my wife and I tried to make sure […]
