….profitable for companies who could care less how they make their money. Billions of dollars globally. Who will stand for justice? Remember the woman whom the Pharisees brought before Jesus accusing her of adultery? Where was the man who was involved? They didn’t think to bring him along. Jesus bent down and began writing in […]
Management vs. Leadership
Each day we’re facing problems and choices. Do we go with the flow – or do we seek a different, higher road? If we are people-pleasers we tend to be fearful of our ability to choose the right path. People-pleasers don’t make good leaders. We may sense the right path but worry about consequences. We […]
Running on empty?
Difficult times can create a personal energy shortfall. How do you replenish that? Some turn to drugs or alcohol, which most often makes matters worse. They’re often like taking a sleeping pill. So we need to remember to not expend all our emotional and physical energy during the day. We weren’t meant to stretch our […]
Respect is earned the hard way
Complainers don’t get much respect. Neither do gossipers. People who are humble and kind get lots of respect. If you do the same hard work you expect of others, you will earn their respect. When we’re part of the problem, instead of part of the solution, we lose respect. When we accept people the way […]

If you follow these 20 rules you will recapture her heart: really listen to her, take her problems seriously, talk to her frequently, notice her more often (not just when you want sex), say thank you more often, be interested in what she’s interested in, show her affection when you are around others, discuss each […]
Embracing Change
Few people like change – usually it’s because it’s unpredictable. Sometimes, however, change is good because it’s needed. For example, there is the change of seasons, even it you live in an area where the changes are subtle. They’re still nice to experience and the earth definitely needs them. Personal changes can be emotional, even […]
If not you, whom?
In the Old Testament, God often called on believers to confront another believer’s sin. Remember, Nathan was called by God to hold David accountable for his placing Uriah in harm’s way in a battle to try to cover up him getting Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba, pregnant while her husband was away fighting enemies. We may have […]
Kids forced to make lifelong choices too early….
In Oregon, children as young as fifteen can receive sex-change surgery. That’s not all. At 15, teens in Oregon are able to, without their parent’s consent, have sex, receive birth control, take a pregnancy test, and get an abortion. Conversely, according to an article published by IJ Review, 15-year-olds are unable to smoke cigarettes or marijuana, drive […]
“All I Have To Do Is Dream”
I just read where Don Everley, of The Everley Brothers Country Pop Duo, passed away at the age of 84. I remember slow-dancing to this song with my high school sweetheart (married 54 years now!). What are dreams, really? Well, night-time dreams are weird, to put it mildly. But day-dreaming is a good thing and […]
End times?
The bible refers to global problems toward the “end of the age”. Lord knows we have lots of those now. There may not be a lot of time left for our families going forward. How should we respond? We must know our truest identity – we belong to Christ. We must have the mind of […]
