You will have noticed that people generally only post their highlights on Facebook.  It is rare to see anyone admitting they have had a terrible day, been thinking thoughts they knew they shouldn’t, done something they regret or acknowledge they have made a mistake.  Maybe I am wrong but looking at some people’s pages youContinue reading “Good, bad, ugly”

I often hear people confidently acknowledge that to enjoy life means to live on the edge, to live free and easy and to do whatever feels good.  Many think that being restricted by morals, ethics and boundaries is not natural or helpful in getting the most out of life.  For a time this can appearContinue reading “The simple life”

If you haven’t had much to do with the Bible you may probably have the idea that it is a book full of rules that Christians and Jews have to follow in order to please their God.  If that is the case you could also be a person who is appalled when you see peopleContinue reading “Words are cheap”

There are many religions that call for dedicated and devoted allegiance to the supreme being or gods.  We are seeing an increased number of devastating deeds where this commitment and loyalty requires hurting people and destroying those and things which oppose one’s religious standards or promote alternate activities and lifestyles.  It is unfortunate that manyContinue reading “Allegiance”

My guess is that the pain generally and genuinelyContinue reading “Judgement”

If you have anything to do with church you could be excused for thinking that being a ‘Christian’ can be quite complex, boring and confusing.  It can appear that there are many rules to follow, countless traditions to choose from and so much to know in order to become a good ‘Christian’.  You are notContinue reading “It is that simple”

Whether you believe in God or not you probably know that to be blessed is a good thing.  Saying ‘bless you’ after a sneeze is still quite common and there wouldn’t be too many who would object to receiving a blessing if one should come their way.  In fact some people even declare they areContinue reading “Bless you”
