A Quote for Today's Society

A little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. -Francis Bacon

Wow! Is this what is wrong with today's world? Enough tink-tink to think ourselves wise, but not enough to truly be wise? Does this also apply to the democratic philosophy? When they narrowed it down to Clinton or Obama, what were they thinking (or not)?

What about the universities that market their liberal agendas? Are they counting and preying on students that are impressionable and who don't take the time to thoroughly consider matters?

Are we teaching our children at home the biblical critical thinking skills they will need to meander through life, and the ability to detect such shallow philosophies? Are we teaching them how to access the one true God, where the source of wisdom radiates?

Wow. We, as parents, have a humongous job ahead of us.

"Let the sunshine in, face it with a grin. Smilers never loose, frowners never win. So let the sunshine in, face it with a grin. Open up your heart and let the sunshine in."

When we shine our light on others, God shines down His light on us. This is the way He has created us. This is our mission; our purpose. Remember though, you must be plugged in to shine.

May His light shine on you today.

Today

Today is a beautiful day, full of sunshine and opportunity. So, what will you do with your day? What will you do with your opportunity? What will I do with mine? It is only by God's grace that we are able see today, which means that there is a divine reason that we are here. Let's face the day with a beautiful spirit, a positive attitude, and open eyes for opportunities to share His blessings with others.

Seize the day, leave a legacy, and thrive.

Six Years this Sunday!

What a great (and busy) six years it has been! This was our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. The youth at our church gave a formal dinner complete with a full course meal delivered to our table at appropriate times, candelight, and props. They even poured our sparkling cider for us! John, you are such a sweetheart! I couldn't ask for anyone better! What a man! I love you!
