Men

It seems we have a shortage of good men in the world. The rapid rise of fatherless homes has created a crisis of identity for young boys.

What does a man look like? He is responsible, accountable and unselfish with his time. He is the last one to be served because he serves others. He is defined by his character and integrity, both of which are unshakable.

We need men to stop abandoning their responsibilities. It’s fun to be the “Disney Dad,” but our young people need more. I encourage you to ascend to the challenge…

Law Enforcement

I am pro-law enforcement. I know a good amount of dedicated police officers who do policing the right way. They are protectors, guardians and warriors combined into one.

Law enforcement officers have a unique skill set. They provide protection for everyone, including those who are protesting them. It’s a calling, for sure, and not for just anyone.

Let’s honor our devoted police men and women. They deserve it because they have earned it…

Treasures

All of us have thousands of acquaintances. There are plenty of people around who want something from you, or just want to be in your sphere.

Bring people into your life who will be there when the shit hits the fan. The going gets tough? They don’t run away. They stay.

The friends who will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear are a real treasure…

Origination

On social media, I often see people posting memes quoting others. I used to do the same thing. Until I didn’t.

All of us have original thoughts and ideas. We should be audacious enough to share them with the world. People need originality.

Your thoughts might be the catalyst someone needs to light the creative fire in themselves. Please share what’s in your mind and heart…

Timing

Timing is everything. God’s timing is perfect, even when I don’t agree with it or like it. But I don’t think He needs or wants my input!

Let’s look at the timing of human interaction. When you have to deliver a difficult message to a friend, the timing of your delivery is key to their receiving and listening to the message. A message given at the wrong time often falls flat, while a message delivered at the right time is well-received.

When you find yourself in this situation, remember that it might be a good idea to wait until the mood is right. Life isn’t always a good time…

Suspense

I love suspense. Suspense is the exciting uncertainty of not knowing what’s coming. Suspense keeps us interested in movies, elections and life. Without it, our existence would be mundane and predictable. Where’s the fun in that?

As much as we hear people complain about change, that’s really all there is. We have no control over anything but our attitude. Change is inevitable, so life keeps us in suspense.

“The suspense is terrible. I hope it continues…” Willy Wonka…

Bias

Where do you go to find true, objective news? Our media outlets have become pulpits for the political leanings of the on-air talent. Op-Ed’s aren’t an improvement over television. There are left and right biases in those.

You can start with the truth in the Bible. God’s word is as true today as it was 1000 years ago. It doesn’t shift one way or another. His words are steadfast.

If something big happens in the world, you are pretty much on your own when deciding how to navigate through the crisis. God gave us a brain to think with. We don’t need the national media.

And if God has a bias, He is biased towards widows and orphans, the disenfranchised, the needy. That’s where our bias should lie, too…
