ZenHabits.net and Going With the Flow
I discoverd this website a little while back and I have enjoyed it ever since. ZenHabits.net offers great advice on a variety of different subjects ranging from acheiving your goals to eating healthy. I would highly recommend that you check out the site. The author also gives his readers the ability to repost his content so I will take him up on it today. The most recent post is about...
Read MoreThe Presidential Race
I have to admit that I did not keep up with the primary race at all. I did not know who all the candidates were or what they stood for. Now that the playing field has narrowed it will be much easier for me figure out how I need to vote. To be honest, there is no candidate that I am thrilled about. I know that I don’t want either of the Democrat candidates to win. I do not...
Read More6 Scources of Blogging Inspiration
Ideas are the key to blogging. Without ideas there are no posts and there is no blog. So in order to have a successful blog you must come up with many ideas to write about. Each blogger must decide what a successful blog means to them. Success might be a achieving a personal goal, having fun, or creating a blog that many people read. No matter what success looks like to you, you must...
Read MoreThinking Too Much
photo credit: Okko Pyykkö “Daydreaming about something in order to do it properly is right, but daydreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.” –Oswald Chambers I believe that there are three basic categories of commands that we as Christians receive. They are explicit, implicit, and situational. The first two come from scripture and the last comes from our...
Read MoreElantris
Last night I finished a book that I haven’t been reading on too long. I bought it a couple weeks ago to take with me on one of my trips to Canada. It’s always nice to have something to read on the plane. The fact that I finished it within a few weeks is amazing considering my lack of time for reading recently. Life has seemed really busy. This was one of those books that you...
Read MoreFeedJournal.com
I have been using a feed reader called Bloglines for a while now. For those of you out there who don’t know what a feed reader is, let me explain. I have quite a few different websites I like to keep up with. Some of them are advice blogs, some are news sites, and some are just sites that give fun information. A feed reader allows you to consolidate your reading down to one...
Read MoreSunshine
I watched this movie the other night at a friend’s house. The premise was that the sun is dying and earth has launched a mission to give it a jump start by launching a nuclear weapon the size of Manhattan into the center of it. The idea itself is fairly ludicrous and the movie would have fallen on its face if they had relied on that gimmick but they didn’t. The movie was watchable...
Read MoreMemory Verses 3 and 4
So I have missed a week or two of this. My apologies. We are still working to memorize them and I would encourage you to do so as well. Having God’s word memorized in our mind and heart will go a very long way in our sanctification as well as helping us to encourage others with truth. Here they are: Rom. 11: 34 – 36 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his...
Read MoreRevolutions
The more I look back at history the more I see many common threads that seem to keep repeating. The most recent one I have observed is a tendency for the new generation on the planet to have some kind of “revolution”. They look at the way their parents or the past generation did things and think, “There must be a better way!”. A very visible example of this was the...
Read MoreA short history of Valentine's Day
ove is in the air! Valentine’s Day strikes again! Since today is the day of love I figured I would do a little research about the day. I would assume that most everyone know that we are celebrating the death of a Saint named Valentine. That is completely true but what you probably don’t know is that the Catholic church (which started celebrating these Saint days) celebrated...
