I heard an interesting story on the radio today. A little girl started a cupcake stand to raise money for her families vacation. While they were in Boise Idaho, the family saw a bunch of homeless people. The family went to McDonalds and bought a bunch of cheeseburgers to help the homeless. The little girl […]
God’s Fault
So too often when things happen to us, we want to blame someone or something else. Recently, I was reading a devotional about anger. If you cannot tell, that is one of my major areas that needs to be worked on. In this devotional, the author was talking about being angry with God. The question […]
Food
I have talked about the food we eat in the past. Recently, there was a conversation about our eating meat and that we do not need to eat meat because the largest animals on the planet are herbivores. This is an illogical cause and effect type analysis. This makes the assumption that we can process […]
Love Like Christ
I heard on the radio today that love is not a feeling, but a decision and that we should Love Like Christ. Seems so simple to Love Like Christ, doesn’t it? Yet it is probably one of the most difficult things to do. Christ was patient and kind. He did not boast nor was he […]
Love does not Envy
Love does not envy is part of the 1 Corinthians 13:4, but what the heck does that mean? Beats me. I guess this post is over. Well not really. We need to dig a little to understand what this means. The word “envy” is translated from ancient Greek and it means “to burn with zeal.” […]
Shining Light
My daughter preached this weekend about being a light. She equated it to fire, not in a bad way, but in a way it is needed. Fire was the earliest form of light that was used for protection, cooking, and lighting things up at night. To make a fire, there are three things that are […]
Love is kind
I was reading a devotional about love and one of the things is that love is kind. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 to find out what love is. One of the things is that love is kind. What does this mean? To truly understand what it means, you have to go back to ancient Greek. The […]
The food we eat
There are so many diets out there these days. The Atkins, Slow Carb, Paleo, Mediterranean, Weight Watchers, South Beach, The Zone, Nutrisystems, Hunter/Farmer and the lost goes on and on. All of these promote eating healthier, but they all have a slightly different twist to make them sort of unique. I am currently doing the […]
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 […]
Discipline
I am trying to lose weight. Currently, I weigh about 235, but I want to get down to 200. When I first started I weighed over 265, but now I seem to have stagnated at 235. Ugh! Like anything in life, it takes discipline. Weight loss for some is easy, but for others such as […]
