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…

Junk

What comes to mind when you hear the word “junk?” Perhaps you think of stuff that’s outdated or is no longer useful. Maybe it’s clutter you have been intending to get rid of but just haven’t made the effort.

Some people think of themselves as junk. They have been told they are worthless, not worth a damn. I grew up hearing this from both my parents. Talk about a crisis of identity!

God created all of us, and He doesn’t create junk. There is nothing random in God’s planning or execution.

Remember this: God did not create you and then forget about you. You are on His mind, even when you don’t feel His presence…

As Common As DNA

We are all uncommon beings. God created us as unique and special individuals. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.

In the same vein our DNA strands are complex and beautifully created. The precision God used in making us shows how much He cares.

We sell ourselves short. We settle for a life that is less than what God equipped us for. Be bold. Pursue your calling…

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…

Heaven

Heaven is real. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it less real. I can’t see gravity or prove how it works, but I know if I jump off a 50-story building I’m going to fall to the earth and probably die!

There is more out there than what we can see. There has to be. It’s not over and done when our bodies give out. There is an eternal place we will exist in after our human existence.

Jesus spoke of Heaven. Paul was allowed to visit it when he was still alive. There are innumerable stories of people who have died and come back to life. Many of them saw Heaven and their fear of death was removed.

Heaven is real. Believe it…

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…
