Shinning Light on the Truth About God and Religion - Gravity, True For You, But Not For Me

2012-02-13T13:12:00.001-08:00

Many sincere and good people, who have varying beliefs about God, have the right to believe whatever they want. However, everyone's belief cannot be true when it comes to God's existence and identity. This is not uncaring or intolerant; it's simply, as we have just reviewed how truth works. If truth could contradict itself, a Christian and an Atheist would both be correct about God's existence and we know this is impossible. shinning

Suppose you were a detective and six people showed up (an Atheist, Buddhist, Muslim, Mormon, Hindu and Christian) with different stories claiming to be the sole heir of a tremendous fortune. Could they all be telling the truth? No, you would immediately recognize the obvious problem, six people claiming to be the sole heir is a contradiction and could not possibly be true.

Therefore you would check out their stories and follow the evidence to uncover the truth. At some point their explanations would be contradictory to the facts in your investigation. Once you discover who the actual heir is, you would know for certain that the other five claims were false, no matter how close to the truth they appeared.

When it comes to God we have a similar situation. Many people have shown up and claim to know the truth about God. On the surface it may seem like most of them are headed in the same direction. But when we look closer, we see that they all contradict each other when it comes to the most important points, like salvation. Christianity is the sole belief that teaches salvation by God's grace, through faith alone. The others teach works (good deeds) and specific conditions as a necessity. Both can't be right.

Let's Dig Deeper Into The Truth

10.0 stars on a scale of 10.0 stars

"Gravity, True For You But Not For Me" by Author Michael Edwards is quite a powerful mini-book that packs the punch, "Big surprises come in little packages," which is an understatement. Perfect for evangelism and originally an e-book, this book addresses every possible question or doubt about Christianity by combining facts, evidence and the truth with biblical principles. This book has the reader examine what is truth, does God exist, can we trust the Bible, did the resurrection really happen, and who did Jesus claim to be. Then by giving a twelve-point conclusion the author ends the journey with a pathway to salvation. Keep several copies of this one in your car, you'll want to hand them out to everyone you meet!

The author states in his opening paragraph of the book, "It's not about religion, it's about truth." The author goes on to explain his purpose for writing the book being that the, "…objective evidence must be considered in order to make an informed decision." Otherwise believing something because your parents believe it, relying on emotions or believing something to be true because you believe it to be true does not make it true; this is called "blind faith," as the author emphatically states. The facts must be examined and as the author continues to write, "Every person deserves at least the chance to examine the facts and make an informed decision."

Compelling, powerful and filled with common sense this book is packed with undeniable factual and scientific basis that clearly state the case for Christianity and why, if you believe or not, the Bible is true for you. Initially, and ingeniously, using the analogy of the law of gravity, the author catches the attention of the reader by stating that the law of gravity is true for everyone whether you have faith in gravity or not; gravity is true for everyone.

In much the same way, the author points the reader to the facts with an easy to read, fast-paced book that examines what truth is, and how best to look at the objective evidence. Clearly and concisely, this book also takes a look at apologetics, as well as the scientific evidence for creation, thereby dispelling the common lies and myths about the universe simply by examination of the evidence. In today's confusing world of many religions the author offers clarity for the reader. While many people believe whatever they are told or that what they believe is truth with no evidence to support that belief, this book urges the reader to base their beliefs on that which is truth and the evidence first before making a decision

This book is real, interesting, states the truth and will give many the knowledge they need to make an informed decision. Written by a man who is truly concerned about your future, a true evangelist at heart, the author wants the readers to know the truth and encourages the reader to make a decision based on truth. A highly recommended read for unbelievers, atheists, skeptics, scientists, evolutionists, and Christians alike. Know the facts, read this book!

"Triumph Through Trial, A Story of Renewal" by award winning Christian author Theresa Franklin is an endearing story of the Owens family who went from discord, contention and strife to a new life full of renewal and triumph. Romans 8:28 states (NIV), "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." We can rest assured that even though there are trials, tragedies and hardships in life, if we live our life according to God's plans and purposes, He will work everything out in our life for good. Get ready to sit down, relax and enjoy this beautifully written book full of hope, encouragement and faith through the story of one family that overcame life's adversities through oneness in Christ.

Author, Theresa Franklin does a wonderful job in administering to the heart of families and encouraging families to stick together in love through this fictional short story. We all know what our lives look from the outside. But when we examine our family life from the inside, more than we like to admit, one will find dysfunction in the home. When we come to a place of acknowledging our sins and confessing them to God, God can work on our behalf. The author asks these important questions and urges us all to spend, "…time in front of God's mirror and try to see what those who know you best actually see? Are you a Christian? Have you accepted Christ as your savior?" In that, the author is asking, are you walking the walk and talking the talk? So many people profess to be Christians, but as Christians we should be exhibiting love, respect and service to our families in the home as well. If not, this book will lead the way to a new path of wholeness in Christ for families.

Driven by emotions, control, negativity, judgment and perfectionism, Cynthia is in complete denial of her behavior towards her family members. Severely affected, the husband is miserable, and her children avoid her as much as possible. Inevitably when there is dysfunction in the home, the author states, the stress can be measured in emotional and physical illnesses. Although the book is a fictional story, the author has described a very real and believable picture of how life is in our own families sometimes. The Owens family is torn from the inside out, due to stresses from the contention and discord caused by one family member suffering from deep emotional wounds caused from her own dysfunctional childhood.

This book is truly a blessing to families and the body of Christ. The author, through the use of scriptures and examples of family life, paints a wonderful picture of how life can be through the love and redemption of Jesus Christ. The author promotes family in this story of healing and encourages others, that "…love covereth a multitude of sins." Families will find solace and comfort through this book. Theresa's Franklin's writing style flows smoothly making for an easy read, keeping the reader fully engaged. This book will minister to all families that are "less than perfect." A highly recommend, encouraging read that will impact others for Christ. God can work in any situation, as the author illustrates, even the impossible ones.

The Importance of Prayer

The subject of prayer to a modern day believer has been taken lightly. Few believe in the prevailing power of prayer. The fact remains that if we are to prevail in life, we must first prevail in prayer. Jacob was a good example, it was said of him that, "… as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. However, it is not enough just to pray. We must endeavour to pray rightly. This timely book by Brother Ayodeji Olusanmi set out the simplicity that is attached to the platforms which makes prayer work. This book will stop the cycle of unanswered prayer in your life. It has been written to enlighten us so as to actualize the immense potential that praying carries.

The word is still the same, "... The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] James 5:16. AMP.

From Pastor and Author Olabode Ososami, comes a powerful new book, Perfect Fall Wedding-The Coming of Christ. This book considers the metaphor of "marriage" as a foretelling of the coming Royal marriage that is to come between the Bride of Christ and the Messiah, Christ. This event in history, as the book states, is ushered in by the Rapture of the Saints. Some may scoff at this teaching, for many scoffers will come, but for those who "believe" in the Lord and His Second Coming, many will be implored to read this teaching to gain knowledge of what is to come in the End Times. Rich in Scripture, therefore aligning with the Word of God, this book is a must-read for every Christian and unbeliever alike.

As the author so eloquently writes, The Jewish Feast of Trumpets is one of the first of the fall feasts in the Jewish tradition/religion. The author describes this event in this book as it was meant to foretell of a coming fall wedding as it relates to the Bride of Christ and to the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The question for today is, are you ready?

Many are asking "Who" is the Bride of Christ, "Who" is the Bridegroom and when and how will He come? This book answers all those questions and more. Author Olabode Ososami carefully lays out a firm foundation that is rich with the Holy Scriptures. If you are looking to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the End Times, the Return of Christ and how it relates to you, then this book is a must have.

First by considering the Covenant and Betrothal to the King of kings, Author Olabode Ososami describes what it means be "set apart" and "who" the Bride of Christ is. The author continues this fascinating read by discussing the gifts of the betrothed, engagement to Royalty; the finished work of Christ on the Cross; the struggles, battles and victories the Saint will experience; the preparation of the Saints and what the Riches of the Bride are. Then coming to a glorious climax with the returning of the Bridegroom and what that means for us today in relating to the "signs of the times" known as "birth pains"; the parable of the Ten Virgins and what that means to the average Christian. The book thoroughly discusses each subject and supports all the teachings by use of Scripture throughout the book. Lastly, the book concludes with the "Royal Wedding" to come between those "chosen" by Christ and what happens next, to include the millennium (1000 year reign of Christ on planet earth) and also answers those tough questions like what is the destiny of the lost? At the end of each chapter a list of pertinent prayers are listed. In the back of the book a study guide for the individual and groups is also provided.

Enlightening, fascinating and divinely inspired, this book is also a wake-up call for those who consider themselves "Christians" and a warning against stagnant and passive Christianity. Many are asleep in their faith and need to wake up to heed the call that Christ is coming soon.

This is a highly-recommended read for both the believer, the unbeliever and anyone seeking a deeper relationship and understanding of God's perfect will, plans and purposes in the life of every believer and in the End Times.

“Who’s on Board?” by Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr. is an inspiring and scripturally based bible study. The author discusses twelve checkpoints that help the reader to understand what it is to be a “born-again” believer. Filled with scripture application, Author Dr. Joseph Hysekll Jr., has carefully laid down a solid foundation built upon the Holy Scriptures. The twelve checkpoints then can be discussed in a small group setting or read individually. The author indicates that many profess to be a Christian, but their life does not demonstrate a life lead by the “indwelling” of the Holy Spirit. This book will identify the “born-again” believer and demonstrates the difference between knowing about God, and really knowing Christ in the power of His resurrection.

An exciting and short read, this book is an excellent ministering tool that can be used to bring others into the Kingdom of God. This study, as suggested by the author, is recommended for groups not bigger than ten to keep the teachings on a very personal level. Written with much wisdom from scripture and from a man that has over 52 years in ministry as a Pastor, teacher and missionary, Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr.s’ teaching has captured the essence of what it means to be “born-again.”

Section II of the book includes uplifting and inspirational poetry by the author written all to glorify the love and power of God. This encouraging selection of poetry will be sure to touch your heart, just as the Psalms identify with the condition of one’s heart and emotions. A true writer at heart, Dr. Joseph Hyskell Jr. captures the wisdom and love of the scripture through sharing his brilliantly poignant poetry. This section is a testament to the love and truth of the scriptures and is a true gem, one that shall be treasured by readers inspired by poetry.

The ideals set forth by Author Joseph Hyskell Jr. have been tested and tried by the author and proven to be overwhelmingly victorious. Become a true believer and inspire others to have their lives changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book, with much prayer as the author notes, will help you do just that.

A Sunny Tomorrow by Author, Theresa Franklin, is a collection of delightful short stories written for young children. This endearing collection has nineteen short stories in all. Each story deals with a different subject. The author truly captures the heart and mind of the child in each story. Additionally, this author is known for identifying with children’s feelings within each subject and especially when dealing with difficult subjects such as divorce, adoption, having a parent with special needs or dealing with the loss of a parent.

Included in this entertaining collection are more humorous stories that deal with much lighter subjects such as grandmas, tasting something to eat before you decide you don’t like it and how a lovely blue flower called a bluebonnet grows or how to be superhero. Each story is entertaining and enchanting for children of young ages to sit and listen to. I found myself chuckling at some of the tales, as the author really knows how a kid thinks. My six year old was quite enchanted and kept saying, “That’s true, that’s what I think.”

Other thoughtful writings are written for comfort, such as Sometimes You Need a Shoulder and Mommy Doesn’t Cry Anymore or Daddy, I’m Scared. Other stories included are simply written for humor and entertainment, like Jolene the Pig or Brent and Dad Go Fishing. No matter which story you choose, you can be sure your children will be thoroughly entertained and will be asking you to read more and more.

Be transported back through the very portals of time in the novel “Woman of sin”. In a time when Caesars ruled and Rome was at its height of authority and power. Enter into a land harsh to the poor and kind to the rich and elite. One where slavery was common and justice had little place. A land and time where Jesus ‘the Nazarene’ walked the earth in the midst of the injustice and chaotic darkness. This is a gripping novel that will keep you coming back for more.

Author Debra Diaz, in her fast paced novel, “Woman of Sin” takes you back through the centuries in her timeless classic. Follow young Alysia down her road of capture from her place of privilege in her Athenian home, to a Roman household to be bound forever as a slave. Taken from her home she loses everything, but she is yet to gain everything at the end of her road of travel. She is about to find true love in every sense of the word.

Author Debra Diaz elegantly and beautifully weaves an unforgettable story of true love, mirroring scenes taken from the scriptures, where young Alysia is tested by trials and tribulations back in a time where women were of little esteem, except for their purpose in child bearing. Perseverance, romance, forbidden love, and endless unfailing love, take you on an adventure that you will not forget.

With the use of beautiful, descriptive and explosive imagery, biblical scenes come alive as the author uses the “Woman of Sin” to introduce the reader to a man called Jesus as He walked the earth and preached. Some called him ‘rabboni’ the word for ‘great teacher.’ Yet as the story unfolds you will see that he is more than a great teacher, for he can perform such miracles as healing a leper, healing the blind and the paralyzed, even raising the dead. He was the Son of God walking the earth, the lamb without sin, crucified for our sins so that we might live. Without His resurrection from the cross, he would be little more than a famed teacher to once have graced this earth. The author leads you to want to know more about this Jesus.

Filled with suspense and romance, this novel is eloquently written and will take the reader back through time and lead you on a journey that is so real, so tangible, you’ll not want it to end. A true masterpiece! This book comes highly recommended. You will not be able to put this one down, I assure you! The book is truly a mini-series in the making. Take a journey through the very portals of time, back through the centuries and experience the thrill of entering into a never-ending tale of undying love that will grip your very soul.

THEOLOY 101 In Bite Size Pieces

The word theology tends to lead people to think that it is only meant for seminarian scholars; however, the word speaks for itself by the sole definition of "the study of God's Word." Theology 101 takes a fresh look at God's Power, Character, Love, Nature, and what the finished work of Christ meant to the world in bite size portions. It offers scripturally based truths of some of the riches of His Divine Grace that include answers to thought provoking questions such as what is predestination; who are the chosen; the called, and the elect. The author uses everyday language to explain what it means to be justified, reconciled, forgiven, and offers a clear and easy to understand explanation of why practicing merited grace contradicts Christ's finished work on the cross.

Gil Rodrigues is a private eye who investigates insurance fraud in Southern California. An affable -- if world weary widower -- he lives with his cat and enjoys a relatively quiet life.

All that changes when a good friend, David Chang, is murdered in a way that suggests a professional hit and Gil is asked by David’s family to investigate the murder.

Gil is sometimes helped and sometimes hindered by police detectives who don’t much care for a private eye meddling in what they believe to be their exclusive investigation. A Lieutenant Hara, a friend of Gil’s, is one such sometime ally, sometime adversary. As Gil uncovers one clue after another, leading him to believe that he is hot on the trail of David’s killer, he must also remain on Hara’s good side.

When he learns that his own life is in danger Gil is tempted to quit the case. When, however, he and his mistress Diana, who happens to be the victim’s sister, find themselves suspects in the murder, Gil is forced to go all out to find the killer and exact a diabolical revenge – something he does with relish.

“…a sophisticated murder mystery with a sub-plot of industrial espionage and decidedly a must-read for lovers of the private eye genre.” - South Coast Media Services

Why Isn't My Book Selling

2009-11-06T20:40:00.001-08:00

If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.

Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.

Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?

As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.

Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.

Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.

Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

You love writing and that's because deep within you is this creative DNA. You have this ability to write stories from start to the end, and see things unfolding while your writing. You have this desire to publish books, write great stories and become a author. Deep inside of you is a river and that river must flow or you feel as if your a stagnant pound.

Authors, let that creative river flow. You're only an idea away from success.

Manuscript preparation, editing, book cover designs, publishing and publishers all play a part of the process. Plus there are authors press releases, media blogs, marketing, book events, book conferences and all sorts of other very important situations to consider.

Here is a site where authors can meet up, discuss things, get tips, information and just become informed. Writers Net

Those Who Constantly Complain

2009-10-12T22:11:00.001-07:00

Some people make complaining a daily language. They spew out complaint after complain as if it's sweet fruit to the hearers ears. Yikes! Personally I hate complainers. It's like watching a great day turn into a total mess. So what is it with people that love to complain? What good does it do? What joy is found in it. None.

Joy is found within, happiness is pursued and life is a whole lot better when we don't complain. Life is difficult enough, why invite spiritual wolves to devour your day, night, week and life.

We Hit the Jack Pot, Great Dinner Savings

2009-09-28T19:00:00.000-07:00

This evening we decided to do the Monday night special. Our local grocery store was offering whole barbecued chickens, potato salad and a free 2 liter coke for $7.00. We ordered some fried potato fries, some cole slaw, a three bean dish and got a package of roles also. The damage, a whole whopping $14.00. The meal fed three adults, plus one child and we have left overs for snacks or lunch tomorrow. In today's economy, we hit the jack pot.

The Morning Blog Blink News

2009-09-25T21:46:00.001-07:00

The words News Flash! flood the Internet. It's the morning blog blink news flash as millions of bloggers hit the Internet. Posts star flying, labels flood the waves, as keyboards around the world are set ablaze. Feeds devour the content, blogging communities light up, as nuclear content foods the blogging networks around the globe. One hour later and millions of posts have been placed as the debates unfold. Comments start filling white boxes as readers devour the emotions with interest. Click and off to the latest social club. Zap in your user name and password and behold, you've got mail. Meanwhile somewhere online is granny. She types 200 words a minute and sits before two wired up computers, keyboards and screens. Slap! Bamb! Crash! and she's set your world straight with some good old fashion Midwest sarcasm while chewing in chewing on beef jerky.

Blink, blink, and before you know it, you've devoured your entire day online blogging, only to realize that your Internet cable was unplugged. Minutes later and you've regained you're sanity only to do it all over again. Your title, simple. A un employed blogger gone wild.

Tackling The Online Market

2009-09-24T12:30:00.000-07:00

It's a huge ocean out there on the Internet with volumes of information and sites. Everyone is competing for your business. This places you, the consumer is a great position to find quality products and services at great prices. All you have to do is take the time to research the products and services that you need.

I mean if you were going to go fishing, you look for the best spot and use the best bail. Right? Check out the waters and find the right pound to cast your line into.

ATM Machines, Luxury Or Channeling

2009-09-23T21:07:00.001-07:00

OK, we all use them. They are everywhere. At the gas station, the grocery store, the library, on campuses, at sports events and many other places. They offer convenience. You stick your card in, make a deposit or withdraw cash. Oh ya, that's right for a small fee which is usually $2.00 each time you make a withdrawal.

So you put your money in a bank. The bank charges you money to order checks, to write them and every time you use a ATM machine, you pay a fee. The reality is that you pay the bank for the right to use your own money. Hey, that's banking and just imagine your money is safe. Then there are all these fees, and additional penalties there just in case you mess up. For example you make a deposit and that same day write a check before the banks gets around to crediting your account and your check bounces. Bamb! a $33.00 fee, yet the bank had your money hours and hours before you made that purchase and wrote the check.

Banks are a must. As for the ATM Machines. Do you really believe they were created just to make your life easier? I just wonder how many ATM withdrawals are made in the United States a year and what that adds up to at an average of $2.00 per withdrawel? Could it be in the millions, tens' of millions, 100's of millions?

Attracting Potential Buyers To Your Website

2009-09-22T19:29:00.001-07:00

Savings That Add Up

2009-09-21T16:11:00.001-07:00

In today's world saving money is a must. Especially when it comes to the money we spend. Looking for the right products at the right price can make all the difference in the world. Savings add up and if we can save on many of our purchases, those savings can be applied to other things. There are tons of great products that can be purchased online through various reputable companies and websites. All you have to do is find those websites and that's easy in today's online world. Simply Google them and you will find lots of information and great sites.

Remember, a dollar saved, is a dollar earned. Just imagine saving $2.00 per day. That's over $700.00 per year. Now think bigger.

Acid Brain Freeze

2009-09-18T22:47:00.001-07:00

There's nothing worse than acid on the brain. It slowly melts into our thoughts creating psychedelic thought patterns. Next think we know, brain freeze sets in and our thoughts while seeming online to us, are off line to others.

For it's better to except reality than to live a life of fiction.

Bad Luck

2009-09-11T15:07:00.001-07:00

Do you sometimes feel as if you have bad luck? Cars breaking down, automobile accidents, headaches, illnesses, and family problems? Maybe your days and life are ruled by frustrations, anxiety, fears, thoughts gone wild, or maybe true happiness just seems to escape you.

There is a scripture in the Bible that basically says "we reap what we sow".

Don't train wreck others, don't add frustration to the lives of others, don't sow seeds of destruction into other families, don't bring frustrations upon others, or create anxiety in their life, or fear and it's quite possible, these things will leave you. We do, we reap what we sow.

Sow love, honesty, truth, integrity, peace, compassion, mercy and good things into the lives of others and be blessed.

Broken Promises Are Like Infections

2009-09-10T13:01:00.001-07:00

If you want to find happiness and success in life, start with keeping you're promises. Broken promises are like wounds cast upon others that bring infections back upon you.

Sour Fruit

2009-09-10T12:58:00.001-07:00

Have you ever encountered a situation when someone owed you money that they promised to give to you, yet you never received it. Or maybe someone promised to take care of another matter, yet that too never came to pass. Next think you know, the person does everything they can to avoid you. That's because they don't want to be held accountable. They are hoping it will just go away.

What they don't realize is that they are accountable and their actions or shall we say non actions will catch up with them and many times they will be multiplied back upon them in other areas of their life. You see, we all reap what we sow and if we sow dishonesty and broken promises, we will reap the fruit of such things.

When The Truth Exposes The Darkness

2009-09-09T15:47:00.001-07:00

Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them? Only to realize that you have been handed a continuous flow of deception and lies? It amazes me how some people use and abuse others basically to make up for their own miserable worthless lives. Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle. It's sad because their lives are filled with endless scares, headaches, and metal illnesses and the affects upon the children lead to emotional problems, anger management problems, guilt, shame, embarrassments, and they become disconnected from reality.

Know this, they do not go un noticed and while they think they have pulled the wool over the eye's of many, in time, they will be exposed. You see, those who cast evil and wickedness upon others in the end become ensnared in their own ways. Life becomes endlessly painful for them, they continue to encounter emotional, mental and even health problems that soon overtake them. It's really sad to see a life and the lives of others waste away and decay like that. It's a long, slow and very painful death, yet death is withheld from them.

There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Qutting Is Not A Fomula

2009-09-08T15:38:00.001-07:00

There are big fish and small fish in the oceans of life. Many times we set out for the big catches and end up with sardines rather than tuna. Yet even as a child we must learn how to catch the minnows before we attempt to catch the big ones. We learn from the process of starting with small things when we are small. Sometimes we see ourselves as giants with great capabilities. Sometimes we see ourselves as that which we are not or shall I say have not arrived at or accomplished yet. Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that we all can't find and become successful. However it is to say that we must work at success, earn success, cultivate success and become successful before we lay claim to it. Oh, and by the way, quitting is not in the formula.

Being Of Sound Mind

2009-09-06T22:45:00.001-07:00

Being of sound mind is not guaranteed at birth. One must obtain it while flushing out all the garbage. In the end either sound mind will come forth or a strong smell that keeps others at a great distance as the walls of one's world closes in.

Dreams And Success

2009-09-05T17:19:00.001-07:00

It is good to dream about success, however it is better to find success. One way to find success is to open you're eye's and get your focus off yourself. Another way to find success is to invest in the lives of others without using them and abusing them along the way. You see, when you do what is good and right, success will find you.

The Colors In Your Rainbow

2009-09-03T13:16:00.000-07:00

I encountered a dream last January. There was this man and he appeared to be like a professor. At least he thought he was. He had all his books and papers in front of him on a table. He was speaking as if to a large crowd. In front of the man were rows and rows of chairs. The chairs were all empty, yet the man continued with his speech as if all the chairs had people sitting in them. The man was speaking and teaching to empty chairs. It was only a dream.

What colors does your character and personality give off? Are you a beautiful rainbow or a headache? Are your colors full or transparent? Do people like you or put up with you? Do people enjoy you or walk away wondering if you're all there. Do you see yourself as beautiful colors while others see you as colorless?

The Imaginary Idealist

2009-08-31T14:49:00.000-07:00

Do you know him? He's full of idea's. He's a master at sharing things. He has volumes of great ideas, endless projects on the board, and he's constantly thinking up new ones. The wheels of his mind are full of great accomplishments. The racing thoughts fuel his very existence and he sounds off at every listening ear the very thoughts that consume him. Like a speeding racing thought, the next thoughts come into play, and the world is his play ground.

Success escapes him as fear of failure takes rule over him. For it's easier to create another new idea than it is to complete the ones already on the table. Like a frog leaping from leap to leap, as the battlefield of the mind unfolds.

He's an imaginary idealist just waiting for the next chapter of his mind to unfold ...

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind

2009-08-21T10:13:00.000-07:00

Building blocks that lead to a successful future are not made up of broken covenants, but accountability and being held accountable to covenants. Is it live or memorex, one asks? The answer is that it's written on a scroll.

Have You Ever Taken Notice

2009-08-07T18:39:00.000-07:00

Have you ever noticed how soft words, words of encouragement and words of hope can bring healing to peoples situations and circumstances. Yet words of condemnation, bitterness and hatred bring destruction, emotional heartaches and rotten fruit forth.

Seeds of love and compassion, words of healing.
Speak them.

Running The Race Well

2009-06-13T00:22:00.000-07:00

It's not the race that's important. It's not the trophy that's important. And it's not about being the best that's important. It's about running the race well, finishing the course and hearing the words "well done, true and faithful servant".

Familiar Spirits

2009-06-12T00:30:00.000-07:00

It's one thing to think. It's another thing to carry conversations with yourself. Either way, both have deep affects. Peace and quite produces a healthy mind set, inner success and a well balanced life.

Turn the switch off and take an occational break.

The Bumps Of Life

2009-06-11T23:42:00.001-07:00

Ok, so life has bumps, curves, mountains, difficulties, hard times and at times can be very challenging. However, that is no excuse for bad manners, poor character, and flat out being rude.

Never Throw The Towel In Before It's Time

2009-05-06T10:18:00.001-07:00

It's good to stay the course, finish the race and not throw the towel in before one had accomplished what they set out to accomplish. The end result is the difference between failure and success.

Off The Wall Friendships

2009-04-15T14:22:00.001-07:00

Do you have some mending to do? Maybe a relational situation, maybe something your running from, or maybe your actions just seemed to fall short? It's never too late to have what is written, blotted out. It's never to late to mend broken fences.

The Lord said "we are going to be like the Beatles", the man exclaimed.

Well one thing about the Beatles. They stuck together, made music and stayed the course.

But then again, isn't it better just to be yourself, rather than to try and be someone else.

Duh, that's a no brainer.

When I was a kid, my mother use to say "remember son, what goes around comes around". At the time, I didn't realize that she was expanding on a scripture that says " we reap what we sow". Therefore, sow good things, that you may receive good things.

How Good, How Right

2009-02-24T11:37:00.000-08:00

A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Casting In Deeper Waters

From Author, Eric Zehnder

In the summer of 1905, on the shores of central California, the fishing town of Monterey, suffered a very great economic blow.

Monterey is a picturesque community, 100 miles south of San Francisco. It is situated on the great Monterey Bay.

The Monterey Bay, gave to the city of Monterey all the bounty of the ocean. For decades Monterey fishermen brought back the fruit of the sea, the fish, that fed millions of people in America.

The backbone of this great fishery, and therefore of the economy in Monterey, was the annual catch of sardines.

These sardines were captured, brought to port, and then to Cannery Row – a row of fish canning operations lining the Monterey beach. There, of course, the sardines were packed into silver cans, wrapped in a red and black paper seal declaring them to be high-quality sardines from Monterey, California. They were then shipped throughout America and the world.

And the economy was good.

But, in the summer of 1905, something terrible happened. An economic disaster of unprecedented proportions happened to this bustling fishing town.

The disaster was this: the fishermen and their many boats, and many employees, simply over fished the sardine population. They did it to such a degree, that the sardines couldn't reproduce their stock – and, suddenly, sardines simply disappeared from the fisherman’s nets! They were gone! And with them, were also, apparent to everyone, the good times for people in Monterey.

But – and this is a very important but – this was not the end of the story. A very great and ominous disaster had happened on their watch, but now something wondrous and hopeful, also took place on their watch.

Here is what, actually, happened: first, the people of Monterey and their churches, prayed. Now, whether you believe in prayer or not, that is secondary to the story. My duty is just to give hope and tell you how the story turned out, in actual history.

Most of the ship owners in Monterey doubled as their own ship captains. There were no big corporate fleets. It was mostly private fishermen who had built their fishing business to the level of having a ship or two, and going out daily and bringing the fish back. They worked hard at it, and they became better and better at what they did, and therefore became more and more successful.

But the sea had always helped them. Now that the sardines were gone, what next? What would happen to the economy, to the ship owners and captains, and to all the crews and their families?

The captains of the ships talked among themselves. As they talked, they told tales that they had heard long ago, about schools of great fish, that a Monterey fisherman and his ship and crew had once found.

But, these great fish, which were only known by the thin thread of perhaps a tall tale, were caught as far out as 200 miles from the shore! No Monterey fisherman and his crew, at least for decades, had gone beyond 20 miles!

No one ever dared to go that far! It had not yet entered the imagination of the people.

They had the vessels for it, and the crews. Now what they needed was some bold and intrepid captains, who would dare to go farther into deeper waters, than anyone ever had before.

And, in a true to life story, several believing captains, with their valiant ships and willing crews, set out to find out if the tales of these great fish had any truth to them.

They went fifty miles. Then eighty miles. Then over a hundred miles. But approximately one hundred and fifty miles out, they saw “boiling water” – a strange occurrence on the surface of the water that far out in the middle of the sea.

The captains and their crews, decided to fish these “boiling waters.” For their efforts, they began to pull in yellow fin tuna anywhere from 100 to 300 pounds! And there was no end to them!

Now, dear reader, understand that until this date in history, no one in the entire world had ever eaten tuna. Well, maybe some long ago sea captain and his crew had. But for the most part, tuna had never been known before. It had never been seen or eaten!

So, the intrepid sea captains and their fishermen returned home to Monterey with great good news – and a big load of great fish!

Think about it. Sardines were only 4 to 8 inches long, and now the fishermen replaced them with tuna that were 4-8 feet long! The sardines weighed a half-pound at best, and the tuna weighed up to three hundred pounds. In fact, later, as fishermen found the will to go farther, they caught blue fin tuna, that weighed up to 1500 pounds!

Thus, by being willing to go further than anyone had gone before ,and by choosing to act in new ways rather than just sit and suffer, although the economy went down with the sardines – now it went up with the tuna! Following what might have been just a tall story by an old salt, turned out to give the people of Monterey a true, and much greater, story. They introduced tuna and tuna fishing to the world. Their ships got bigger. Their crews got paid more. More tourists came to Monterey. The little bustling fishing didn’t go down with the sardines!

Somehow, the town, its people, and its economy all got a new lease on life. They grew. They prospered. And – they fed the whole world to a far greater degree.

In that summer day of 1905, when the sardine stock fell and the bottom dropped out of the sardine business, it shook everybody up. But, they said their prayers, decided to go further than ever before, chose to “seek a greater story” – and, however combined elements made it happen – tuna, much larger than sardines, and a tuna catch, much greater than the total sardine catch had ever achieved, was brought into the history, and to the palates, of the entire world.

The economy recovered and boomed.

My friends, could it be possible that right now, this very day, that even as you experience the loss of something you long felt secure and that you built your hopes on, just a little farther ahead, with a little willingness to keep your chin and morale up, exploring a little further, pursuing a greater, not lesser, story for you and yours, we might ourselves see our “sardines” not just gone, but our own kind of new, far greater, “tuna” right in front of us replacing our loss with something much better?

I believe that people with the American dream, don’t just get better dreams. They get a better story. It comes complete with the faith, the new vision, the will to try, the solid meat of the fish, the adventures, and the tale to tell all our children about.

The measure of something great is that greater things still come out of it.

Say your prayers, stoke the embers of your dreams and visions. Listen to wise stories. Make your minds and ships go further into the ocean of the Spirit – and I believe either you yourself, or some intrepid captains, are going to come back with the equivalent of boatloads of silver tuna in our time – together with directions how you can get a lot more of them.
