The dishes get done,
The kids get fed,
Nothing gets broken,
No angry words get said,
This is a good day.

Reflect
Light From Above *
Take the time to reflect on the hard work you have done today.
Take the time to reflect on the many blessings you have received through your hard work.
Take the time to reflect on the All Mighty that gives you the opportunity to work, the ability to work and the blessings you receive from that work.
In His name, have compassion for those who do not have the opportunity to work, have not been taught to work, or do not have the ability to work. In His name, all things are possible, but without compassion, in other words – charity, nothing good is possible.
Take the time to reflect…

Saith Me… Regret
Be careful what you tear down and throw away, for tomorrow it may be just the thing you need.
Christian’s not Acting Christ-like
It appears to me that a lot of Christians aren’t reading their scriptures and taking Christ’s message to heart, as there is way to much fear and loathing going around especially in the political world.
Here are two of my favorites scriptures from the King James version of the Bible.
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” John 13:34
You notice that the second scripture does not specify which “type” of people to love, but instead infers to love all.
Saith Me… Love Yourself
When the world is hating upon you because you stand for something, remember that it hurts less than when you are hating yourself for not.
Saith Me… Freedom or Free Stuff
Do not believe that cheap things do not cost someone a great deal. Or that the great bargain does not have hidden costs.
Most importantly, be careful not to trade freedom for seemingly free stuff. The price of freedom is too great to barter away on trinkets and temporary pleasures.
To News or Not To News
I have been pondering the idea of reading my Facebook News Feed on news.
It is a dilemma, do I read the news and chance getting irritated, thus needing to blog about the irritation, or do I go to bed believing that for the moment there is no irritations in the world?
I chanced a peek at the news feed and immediately saw an article about The Simpsons. If that is tonight’s big news story, then the world must be at peace for the moment and I can go to sleep.
Tit for Tat
During the recent congressional hearing on the issue of the whether President Obama had violated the first amendment by requireing Catholic hospitals to cover services such as birth control, Rep. Darrell Issa was reported by ABC News to have “pointed out that Democrats barred Republican witnesses when they were in the majority.”* This was his argument for why the panel was so one sided.
Well kudos to him for lowering the bar to kindergarten level politics. It is no wonder the public has such a low opinion of the Congress.

Saith Me… Getting Old
In your early twenties, it is wine, beer and whiskey that cause you to call in sick the morning after. In your early forties, it is frosting from your birthday cake.
Saith Me… Individuality
Here am I, throw your tomatoes at me if you want, but I am going to be me.
