Are You Happy

Not too long ago, I wrote about the wrong priorities. This is a follow-up to that post. My father used to call me from time to time. One of the things he used to ask me was, "Are you happy, son?" Now, back then, I did not really understand how relevant that question was. Our time here on earth is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Land Of Milk and Honey

This Sunday, the visiting Pastor Lance Aubert spoke about God's promises. He made a very important point that I never really thought about. He said that God's promises are not a certainty. He uses the story of Moses' exodus from Egypt to illustrate his point. It is the Maple Springs Baptist Church... Sign in to see full entry.

What's The First Rule In An Emergency

Have you ever asked this question? What is the first rule in an emergency? No matter what the situation. Whether you are in a car accident. Or a natural disaster.

CBS Bites

I know everyone has heard that CBS was bought by a Trump supporter. Now I know that when you get new management, changes will take place. It doesn't look good for a lot of viewers like me.

You Reap What You Sow

If you are blessed enough to live 5 or 6 decades, and you are honest with yourself. You know how true this saying is. If you put out good things into the universe. Good things seem to come your way. The opposite is true when we put out evil. Our POTUS is a perfect example. The U.S. administration... Sign in to see full entry.

The Wrong Priority

I sometimes find myself focusing on things that are not important. Now I may be the only person who finds himself lacking in this regard. Now I am not sure why this occurs, but I definitely have some ideas. What is so crazy is that when we focus our time on what really matters. Life tends to move... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost And Found

It certainly pays to practice what you preach. While purging my files, I discovered an old letter. I have forgotten so many events that have blessed my life. Once upon a time, I was a member of the International Society of Poets. The International Library of Poetry. Poetry.com. Which was... Sign in to see full entry.

Time For Spring Cleaning Again

I know it is only February, but March will be here on Sunday. Now I am at an age where I wish that time would slow down a little. Yet here we are again.

The Devil Is Always Busy

Now my story is old news. Yet it tends to happen regularly. I decided to sing with the mass choir for our Black History Sunday Service, and our afternoon service dedicated to Black History.

Sometimes The Answer for Success Is Just Having Fun

Recently, I watched a story about Norway. This very small country seems to dominate the winners' podium in the Winter Olympics. At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Norway solidified its status as the greatest Winter Olympic nation, breaking its own record with 17 gold medals. Countries... Sign in to see full entry.
