I had an interesting revelation the other day. I started getting a cold (inherited from my grandson, who inherited it from daycare) and happened to be going away on a business trip to California. Kind of bad timing I think, but I sought to minimize its effects by purchasing a killer NyQuil, DayQuil combo package. You take the…
Have you ever been in a situation where you are being nice or kind and someone takes a shot at you? You know what I mean. You are minding your own business and getting your stuff done with a great attitude and suddenly someone comes along and pees in your Cheerios! You were really having a great…
Having recently survived an election season, one thing has become alarmingly clear, our generation has forgotten how to think for themselves. Sure, we are still thinking, but how much are we thinking for ourselves? Lest you get defensive, allow me to explain what I mean. With the advent of the media machine, social networking and 350 cable…
In our frenetic world today, people have lost sight of the core essence of what it means to be a thinking, human being. We run from this activity to that activity; we have never-ending “to do” lists; we are so so busy with our requirements, that we rarely have time to sit down and consider what is driving…
Good question, right? Everyone is so busy nowadays… And, if you don’t appear too busy, they assume something is not quite right with you. Have you ever stopped to ponder why we are so busy? Busy, busy, busy; no time for anything! Is it good to be that busy? Does busy mean we are getting things…
I have been thinking a lot lately about happiness and why it seems to be so dang elusive to folks. It appears that most of us are seeking after it and many of us don’t experience it nearly as often as we would like. So, one of the most important questions in our lives becomes, “why is that?” …
I was thinking, the other day, about my family and how well we all get along together. I mean we genuinely enjoy each others company! I wondered, “What is it that makes our family sing?” How did we get four children that not only hang out together but even live in the same apartments, with one married…
It never ceases to amaze me (and other well-worn clichés) how many folks there are that believe in God, but don’t believe in God! The idea that some folks (God bless ’em) go their whole lives confessing their belief in God yet never receiving a blessed thing from Him seems a little crazy to me. …
Probably not what you were thinking, but maybe… I haven’t been able to weed the flower beds for about 3 weeks now and I found them completely overrun with weeds. I don’t mean a “pull some dandelions business,” I mean more weeds per square inch than flowers. Morning Glory, which aint so glorious are surrounding…
Boy, once you start getting honest with yourself, there’s just no end to it. LOL It seems that there are a whole bunch of people that live life with unmet needs and just like in the other categories of life, folks just aren’t being honest with themselves. I’ve heard people reduce need down to the…
