Great Christian Attitude
The other day I was going from one town to the next. Well I got behind a person who would speed up then slow down. The speed limit is 55 and I expect you to go that speed or pull over and let me around. Well this person would fluctuate from 40 to 55. Eventually […]
Doing the Lords will
Doing what the Lord what’s can be challenging at times. Not because it is hard, but because sometimes we just aren’t sure what that is. To often, we ask the Lord what He wants, but we do not wait to hear the response. Of course we have the Bible, but to me that is more […]
The only Christ someone may see

To Serve or be Served
Do you think you should serve or be served by others? You really need to ask yourself this question because so many people actually have it wrong. When Jesus came what was it he said? Mark 10:45 New International Version (NIV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to […]
Survival
How did we as humans survive all of this time considering all the dangers that exist around us? If you listen to the doctors, weatherman, and scientists, we should all be dead or on the verge of becoming extinct. Doctors and weatherman are constantly telling us to stay indoors because of the heat or pollen […]

When I mention media, what is the first thing that pops into your head? Was it the news? Most would probably say yes. However, the media comes in many forms. Politicians Commercials Advertisements in magazines or newspapers TV shows Movies News Text books Fiction Art Radio talk shows All of it is designed to stir […]
