As a bonafide purveyor of right thought, I’ve always considered it my personal mission to educate people concerning the importance of their thoughts and even more importantly, how those thoughts help form their beliefs. Yet for all that, there’s another piece. Simply stated, if you can get your thoughts together and keep them together long…
I’m sure you’ve had the experience where you are peacefully driving your car and decided to change lanes. After a couple of glances in the mirror, over you drift only to be met with obnoxious honking and a very heated driver. You can’t really match that bad energy because you know you were in the…
What is reality? What is your reality? Is there a difference? It seems like the answer should be simple, right? Reality is often defined as, “the world or the state of things as they actually exist…” When we define our reality, it would seem plausible that my reality would be the same as your reality…
The above title may appear intuitive and certainly not worthy of a blog. However, I would have to disagree in that there appears to be a dearth of people actually making the connection. People spend the day engaged in dark, negative thoughts and then report feeling depressed. Folks run all manner of fearful considerations through…
Is truth relative? Many people, in an attempt to be inclusive perhaps, conclude that what is true for you might not be true for me and the reverse. But, can something that is true actually be not true? Does truth depend upon the circumstances or conditions? Would something that is inherently true possibly be not…
There’s a saying amongst religious folk that decries, “Take it by faith brother.” What it implies is that the things of God don’t really make any sense or follow any specific pattern of logic.

I think it is a fair assumption to say that we would all like some change for the better. We want better relationships, better incomes, better material things, better jobs, better health and so on. That’s not to say that we are unsatisfied or unthankful for what we have, but rather it seems the natural…
People, especially Americans perhaps, seem to have developed a penchant for using certain phrases to account for the unknown. One such phrase is the universal, catch-all, overused and terribly inaccurate saying, “It was mean to be” or its ugly sister, “It wasn’t meant to be.” Perhaps you have used these phrases in your own life.…
About 7 years ago I wrote a blog by the same title. I began the blog with the important distinction that to consider your ways does not mean to pick yourself apart, nor does it mean to look for and find sin in your life. That seems to come quite naturally. In fact, if considering…
As I reflected on tonight’s topic, it seemed the logical answer would be “yes!” But, is it though? Or, did the question give you a certain amount of pause followed by some persuading of self to arrive at the right answer? What happens to a person that leads to not loving themself? What kind of…
