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 […]

Responsibility
I really hate it when people will not accept responsibility for their actions and want to blame others. Tonight on my way to the local lumber store, one person decided to pull out in front of me, but thought he could make it. The other vehicle behind him started to pull out and I blew […]
People do as they please
It is no wonder our country, nation, and planet has gone the way it has. People do as the please these days with little regard how it impacts others. Today I was going out the door marked “Exit” and what do you know two men decide to enter through the “Exit”. They almost hit me […]
Being Offended
People seem to be easily offended these days. Our church split about 5 years ago because one person who was teaching young adults got offended by the pastor.

I will venture to guess that most thought that they were loving their children and that is partially true, but they were also giving conflicting signals to their children. Children need to learn boundaries […]
Business Closing
Many businesses seem to be closing or laying off a lot of employees. Will Trump be blamed for this? My guess is yes. Companies like people do not want to take responsibility for their actions. The internet businesses are putting the “Brick and Mortar” type businesses our of business. The “Brick and Mortar” businesses failed […]
Liking People?
Not sure how you feel, but I really do not like people. I find most people to be: arrogant rude conceited nosy obnoxious argumentative know it all always right hateful moody liars manipulative selfish This makes it really tough to be around them. Our society does not do much to alter this either. For example, […]
The Good Ol Days
Were the “Good ol days”, so good? Honestly, I do not know. Things were simpler, but yet harder. Think about the conveniences we have today compared to the 50s, if you can think about such things. If you did not live then, then think about 5, 10, 15, even 20 years ago, what were things […]
Obama Care – Affordable Healthcare Act
I love this, people are all upset because Trump has not repealed the Not So Affordable Healthcare Act and then there are those that are very upset that he is going to do it at some point. I understand both sides, but I am going to speak mostly to those that think they are entitled. […]
