Google Blogger Hard to Work With

Just so you know, Google is very jealous and gives you a hard time when setting up your blog.

Thinkers of America

Go to your battle stations. Let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Pull back from the action to think, meditate, process, pray. You must change focus in order to get a broader perspective and understanding on any given situation. Only then can you filter all of the input through your brain, and mind, and soul. Sleep on it. The result of this process will have given your mind the ability to fit the new knowledge into its proper place. Then you can judge more clearly about chosing the right course of action.

Try it for yourself and see if it works for you.

P.S. Make sure brain is engaged before operating mouth.

Reading for Understanding

Reading involves what you bring to the words, as much as what you take from them.

There is a lot of information flying around like angry birds right now. How are you reading it? I would guess that your understanding is filtered through what you already know and is grounded in yours beliefs. What beliefs do you bring to this issue? What are your beliefs grounded in? Can your beliefs change?

Growth occurs when new discoveries are made about the issue, and more importantly when they are made about oneself. Think about it.

Mark Twain: Thought for the Day

Actions speak lounder than words, but not nearly as often.

Thomas Jefferson: Thoughts on Our Nation

Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever..."

What would Jefferson think of the situation we find our country in today? Using his quote to frame it, what do you think of the problems the US faces today? How are we handling things? How can you help guide and lead?

Let your light shine and speak up. Do not be afraid. You never know what one voice can accomplish when it is backed up by the power of the Lord. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Meet them where they are and speak in a voice they can understand. Maybe they will listen and understand. Who knows? We're still listening to Jefferson. Some of us anyway...

Pay It Forward

I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.

Who said it?

Sing a new song today! How about this one: "It's Time To Rise and Shine and Give God Your Glory?"

Pay it forward today for the least and the greatest brothers and sisters.
