Question of the day

Assuming that people have the best intentions and they wouldn't get close to you for some type of gain (material or otherwise) that is unfavorable for you- think about this.

Who would you entrust to make major decisions for you?

My response:
There’s a saying in the bible," No good thing will God withhold from them that walks uprightly" Psalm 84:11. I would hope that my brethren would do the same for me as I would for them.
So the people who I have access to, who know my heart, desires, and character are the ones that I would trust with decisions. Essentially those who can serve my best interest with out causing me harm. Which is what I would do for someone else.

By the way, don't think the question too far-fetched. Some situations involve the support and judgement of others, not all input is benign.

Just giving us something to think about.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered. "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

TO THE GRADUATE 2016

TO THE GRADUATE 2016 August 1, 2016 To myself, students, and life learners who understand the value of education, knowledge and wisdom. Getting to graduation feels like a voyage with topsy turvy winds. You finally get the hang of it and realize wow I made it –destination arrived. The last day of your final class come and gone or in the fast approaching and the walk across the once elusive stage is near; it’s actually within reach closer than it’s ever been. The day to change the tassel on your graduation cap to the left has arrived. The last door to the academic building you spent the most time in closes behind you. It was designed with lecture rooms and they happened to house many of your secret dreams over the last 4-5 years. And the sometimes sun shadowed hallways lead the way to several doors that will take you to success and journeys which lead to accomplishments. photo courtesy of the internet The Commencements both an end and beginning to the possibilit...

Where to...

Thought for the day Ethics should not be reduced so low that we ravage the innocence, moral character, or integrity of society. To do so is to morally bankrupt the fabric of our existence. You don't want to look around and have to wonder if there is anything good left to hold on to. I'll tell you the truth, TV has really opened my eyes. As I've said in previous posts, I've never been a big TV watcher. But the past several months has been a provocation of sorts. Many revelations have been positive and insightful but a great deal more have been heartbreaking. Albeit most shows are meant to entertain but, they still create opportunities to learn, often indicating we've got to check our internal compass to make sure we are headed in a positive direction, making our world a better place to live.

Awesome
