Our Declaration of Independence starts with the words “The unanimous declaration of the thirteen united States of America.” Less than 100 years later,some of these states, and others added since then, went against some of these words and we fought a civil war over them. Mostly, we’re still healing from the wounds 150 years later […]
Getting angry?
When I get angry, someone usually asks me if that’s working well for me. Of course, it doesn’t. Some will say you need to vent and to let it out. Maybe so. But to whom? Not your spouse or children, that’s for sure. Usually, whatever ticked me off was short-lived. I may have even been […]
Getting rid of the nuclear family?
One of the popular organizations protesting our country wants to penalize the traditional family in favor of another design. Since God began populating the planet, his design has been one father, one mother and children. His design has not changed lately. Let’s return to God’s values and save our nation.
Venus and Mars
Women ask questions – lots of them. It’s like they were born with an unending supply. Men make statements. Both want to gain more control over a situation. Love is patient both ways. We need to be giving the one we love more freedom. Freedom reduces fear. Lack of fear increases trust. Trust = feeling […]
Yes, there is evil in the world
All you have to do is watch the news. We are surrounded by it. The riots in our cities are no longer about making our country even better. They are about destruction by pathetic anarchists who belong under communism. They are not leaders – but simply followers. Name one nation that is better overall than […]
Who are heroes?
Many would say athletes or actors. Really? Spoiled brats who think the world owes them millions? I think not. Our heroes are our military families and first responders who put their lives on the line for us every day. Unlike athletes and actors, they don’t expect rewards. Just a chance to make a good living […]
Worst-case scenario
Planning is good. Reacting is not. Why? It’s based on emotion. Emotions are not reliable. God gave us a brain for one reason – to counter our emotions. Emotions are a red flag….but they only stop you. We need to wait for reason to prevail. We can’t continue to behave as we did when we […]
You are what you think
Thoughts. Ideas. They can make or break you. You react to what you think or feel. Emotions are not reliable….they just are. What you think you usually do. So – change your thought pattern. Only focus on love, energy, value. When your thoughts go to loneliness or wounds or discouragement….think again. Better thoughts make for […]
Right and wrong
Right and wrong used to be an easy conversation. Not so much any more. It’s been replaced by “you’re not right and I’m not wrong, we’re just different.” Black and white has been replaced by gray. “If it feels good, do it.” But all one has to do is look around the world and he […]
The symbol of love
The common symbol for love is a heart – all pink or red, like it has blood flowing through it. It is the obvious choice of most people to express love. That’s a good thing – because the heart is the key to our will. Good fruit can’t come out of a sick tree. Love […]
