One of my biggest problems is not when people make mistakes, that is going to happen, but it is when people will not accept that they have made one. Not sure why it bugs me so much, but it does. As a consultant, my job is to give the best advice I can to ensure […]
Getting drunk
My daughter just turned 21 and it started to make me think about her potentially being out and getting drunk. My wife and I tried to raise her right, but there is always the possibility that peer pressure will cause her to drink way too much and then do something foolish like drive home. Ephesians […]
Be Kind
What would happen and how would people act if you were just kind to one another as directed by the verse blow? Ephesians 4:32 New International Version (NIV) 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. It is so easy to be mean as people just […]
Love
In speaking with my boss tonight, who is a lesbian, I found out that her husband was a leach who did absolutely nothing. When their marriage ended, he asked for the divorce. I can only imagine it was due to the fact that he did not want to do anything around the house and she […]
The Left
I read the following bible verse: Ecclesiastes 10:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. and it had me thinking of our political parties. I thought it was a bit ironic that the political parties in this country are divided […]
Traveling to rest
I told my wife I needed to travel for work just so I could get some rest. I was half joking when I said it, but it was the truth. We are supposed to take a Sabbath to relax and recoup, but the past two weeks were extremely busy. Built my son a desk top […]
Wooden Plank
The other day I was routing some wood without glasses and a large wood chip came off and went into my eye. This made me think of the following: Matthew 7:3-5 New International Version (NIV) 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank […]
Justice
I am watching a show called “The Last Kingdom”. The star of the show gets really mad and wants justice. As I am watching the show, I am thinking I too would have wanted justice if what happened to him had happened to me. After this, I started to think was that really the right […]
Conflict Resolution
It is amazing to me that in these days conflict resolution is one of those skills that seems to have been lost. People use violent actions such as yelling/screaming, fighting, stabbing, and even guns to resolve their issues with others. It use to be that you could talk to others in a calm fashion to […]
Doing what is right
The pastor this past Sunday used the following verse from Proverbs as part of his message: Proverbs 14:12 New International Version (NIV) 12 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. While the entire message was good, it was this particular verse that stood out the most. […]
