The Secrets to my Success!

If you were to bring up technology today in a coffee house discussion, people would probably get excited and go on and on about shows, blogs, FB media posts etc. But one subject that I doubt would come up, or a topic that would not be much discussed might be the moral decline of society over the last 60 years. The increase in pornography addiction, adultery, divorce and decrease in personal relationships and the overall state of our society as a whole can be directly related to this. Society has always had its problems and this is not a new thing. In fact societies since the beginning of time have suffered these issues. But what is the real impact on society due to the increase in technology? Of course there are amazing things that we get from this explosion of plastic and touch screens, like advancements in emergency response and instant communication. We are sharing experiences from across the world in an instant, watching things unfold from the other side of the world an...

     My kids like to come up with excuses all the time for why they do things. They like to try to convince me that the reason they had for doing something wrong was justified. At about that moment is when I have to tell them no and continue on to explain to them why their actions were wrong. Now there is an imperative reason behind this. You see, as a Christian and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have an absolute moral standard to live by. Wrong is wrong and right is right per God’s moral absolutes. My kids don’t always like that, and tend to rebel from time to time, which usually ends up with me punishing them for whatever said mishap they have committed. There are reasons for this interaction, I teach my children that it is out of love that we do not do things against others. I also teach them it is because of love that we do do things for others as well. These principles are not only written into my heart by my creator and designer (the almighty God) but they ar...

I like to fancy myself as a connoisseur, though I have only been a part of the club for about two weeks. 

I like to consider myself to be Anti -“pro”      Here is what I mean by that, everyone is pro something. But what I don’t seem to be able to grasp is how our last few generations, beginning in the sixties, are so PRO everything but “Pro- commonsense ”. How can someone consider themselves to be Pro-choice, yet have the audacity to PRO-test against war? They are Pro-choice, but yet they PRO-test against the right to PRO-tect yourself with the second amendment. I mean they can be just fine taking life of an innocent child, but yet they don’t want you to arm yourself, protect your family and stand up against tyranny and evil abroad (oh yeah, or eat meat). The PRO-choice moment has killed almost ten times the innocent children than the Nazi moment!      Look, I've been there, I don’t want our soldiers dying any more than anyone else, but the world needs someone to stand up against oppression and fight for people’s civil liberties. Is it America’s...

Are Christians truly hypocrites?          Look, I don’t claim to know the whole bible, and I certainly don’t claim to be perfect. But here is what I do know, God is real and Christ was his son. Now ask me to explain the Holy Trinity….. Uh.... Exactly.      A lot of people tend to stereotype Christians and the Church. They know what we stand for so they automatically assume we judge people and condemn them. Stereotypes are bad news because they are based either one experience or the minority of one group. People know I’m an avid follower of Jesus Christ and yet when they fail to get to know me and they make off color comments about who I am or what I believe. Shamefully, they just assume and don’t know the truth. Do I believe in right and wrong? Do I express myself openly? Do I try to lead a life reflective of my beliefs? All of the above are.... True.      But do you really know what the difference is between a Christian ...

              A lot of us, if not most of us, heck maybe even all of us at some time have chosen to do something or start something, quit something on a predetermined day in the future. Being new years we probably all have been waiting and plotting and telling ourselves we are going to do such said thing starting January 1st. I do it, every year! But what’s terrible is a lot of times I find myself doing it every year. We start off with the best intentions and end the year repeating the same mistakes we did before. Or we try to binge the last few days on what it was that we decided to give up (irony); In turn hindering our chance of success over the one thing that has had such a grasp on us to begin with.      Now I don’t have the cure for what ails you and I can’t give you the answer to how to be successful, but I can encourage you to keep it up. But what seems to be odd about these “demons” in our everyday life is that most times...

I consider myself a pretty boring guy, there is not much I like to do. I don’t party, I don’t really drink, don’t watch sports and don’t hang out at bars and I’ve learned to become accustom to this lifestyle. My hobbies in life are pretty strange and I battle with my own demons from time to time. My life however doesn’t need any excitement, I have a wife and kids who need me to have a level head. I support these people with all I am; I work hard and have no real time to play. I am not granted the freedom that some have to enjoy their day and be friendly and chit chat all those things. I like the quiet undisturbed life. I know there is a wild side in me that wants to come out and play but I look at my family and step back and remind myself that although life is a day to day activity it is also a marathon that has to be run one step at a time. I keep my eyes on Christ and I enjoy that. Heck I think he earned it!!! Although from time to time I look away or become blinded, I know that h...
