I saw a movie the other day called “A Christmas Tree Miracle”. Was it great acting, no. It kind of reminded me of “Facing the Giants”. However the message that it gave was powerful. While the family was not deeply religious in the beginning, the acts of kindness they displayed ended up helping them out […]
Respect
I am back to hearing and seeing that respect is earned, not given. If everyone has this attitude, then how does anyone earn respect? The answer is you cannot unless someone makes the first move and lets face it, in today’s world no one makes a first move because that is a sign of weakness. […]
Christmas
I know that I have said I hate this time of the year, but that is not 100% true. I love Christmas time as it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I just hate what it has become and what it brings out in people. Christmas used to start the Friday after […]
Forgetful
I do not know about you all, but there are times where I forget what I was about to do. I had a different message for tonight that was similar to last nights, but I have pretty much forgotten what I was going to write. This could be due to the fact that there are […]
Overweight
Something like 2 out of every 3 or 3 out of every 4 people is overweight. One of the biggest resolutions people make at this time of the year is to lose weight and get back in shape. Typically, this lasts for about a month or two then they give up. Why? I have several […]
New Year
For me it is 11:03 PM 1Jan2018, but by the time this gets posted, it will be sometime on 2Jan2018. I am sure that this has to do with the location of the servers which I believe are in Germany, but that is ok. Normally, I do not make resolutions, but I will this time. […]
The Greatest Gift
A few days ago we celebrated Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. While He more than likely was born in late winter/early spring, this time of the year was chosen to represent His birth. Jesus coming to Earth was the greatest gift that mankind could ever experience. He was vulnerable when He was younger, He […]
Family
There is nothing like being around family for Christmas. My son went to Upstate New York where there was like 3 feet of snow and it was pretty cold. While he made it home for Christmas, we were not actually sure he was. My wife and I decided that he got himself up there and […]
Grumpy
I’ve noticed recently that older people just seem grumpy. This really is nothing new as I also noticed this back in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and even 2000’s. However, it just seems to have gotten worse with time. Do I blame these people, no. For the most part, it seems like everyone that is not […]
To Serve
We were born to serve. I know it is hard to believe since our parents have told us how special we are and how much the world owes us, but sorry you and I and everyone else was put here to help others. Think of it this way, did Christ come to server or be […]
