Drug Culture

Every third television commercial is about a drug. The pharmaceutical industry is consistently among the top three in monies spent on lobbying. A wellness physician I know told me that when he recommends small changes a patient should make for better health, ninety percent of the the time patient asks for a drug remedy.

It’s time to change our thinking about artificial solutions that don’t require work. We have most everything we need in our bodies to ward off disease. Let’s use them…

p.s. I am not talking about people who are mentally ill and need psychotropics. It’s not their fault.

Everyone Matters

Every person matters. We can be impressed by the number of degrees people have, their titles, accomplishments or possessions, but that’s not who they are. We are all equally important in the eyes of God. His opinion is the only one that matters.

Treat others with kindness. Show compassion. We are in this battle called life together…

Religion

I don’t believe in organized religion. Religion has been used to hurt people. Personally, I follow Jesus and try to live up to the example He set for us. Jesus was a radical, saying things like “love your enemies,” and “pray for those who persecute you.” One thing He didn’t do was bring the world more religion. He showed us the true character of God.

Religion will continue. The rules of religion (no drinking or dancing etc) will remain. I simply study the life of the One who redeemed and restored hurting people…

As The Wind Blows…

Is your mood changed by things that happen to you? I believe all of us are to some extent. When something good comes along, we feel a moment of happiness.

Life will always be unpredictable. It is our responsibility to ensure we don’t allow the unknowns in life to set our mood. If we do, our emotions will feel like a rollercoaster. Up sometimes, down the other.

Our Creator gave us free will over one thing: our attitude. Let’s keep ours focused on our one true north. The unknown events of our lives will keep coming, but our attitude about how we adapt and handle them doesn’t have to change…
