Caring for others

I was watching my 600 lb life and something in me said talk about caring for others.  We as people need to start thinking of others before we think of ourselves. Jesus came to this world, but not to think of Himself, but to serve others.  If Jesus came to serve others, then why is […]

God will never fail you

Deuteronomy 31:6 New International Version (NIV) 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what […]

Being Fat

I have posted before about being overweight and let me tell you that being overweight sucks.  I am currently about 50-60 pounds overweight and have been trying, but honestly I am not sure what to do anymore.

Conflict Resolution

It use to be that you could talk to others in a calm fashion to […]

How soon we forget

People seem to remember or hear what they want.  My wife is upset with me because I made a comment about her thoughts on purchasing a new computer. Her computer which lasted about 3 or 4 years died, more specifically, the graphics card or motherboard died.  The cost of that computer was about 400, but […]
