It’s that time of year when some people worry if they’ll offend others with a seasonal greeting that might hint at a possible religious or ethnic affiliation, and others insist ion feeling offended if such a greeting is not their kind of greeting. And so many of the rest of us are just happy that someone wishes us well, including in their own terms.

I see this as an opportunity to learn how much we actually have in common. Once we do that, there’s no limit to what we can do!

Blessed Be!

December 16, 2017 – Some Questions Should Not Have To Be Asked!

[iframe style=”border:none” src=”//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6050794/height/100/width/480/thumbnail/yes/render-playlist/no/theme/custom/tdest_id/504486/custom-color/#87A93A” height=”100″ width=”480″ scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen]

Some questions should not have to be asked! As an example, I have ridden on many busses and have never asked the bus driver if he or she were sober! Some issues should be presumed resolved by the time you’re involved. The recent special election in Alabama is an example of questions being asked which should have never needed asking.

Standards might change. In the 12th and 14th centuries, it was not uncommon for a girl to be married at 12, but now we consider anyone at that age to be a child. The needs of society dictated the change, and it does not get changed based on some whim or temporary sentiment. Similarly, it was once not uncommon for certain people to own slaves, but no more.

We need to know what our standards are, why they are there and follow them!

Blessed Be!

December 9, 2017 – Powerful Prayer’s Secret Ingredient!

[iframe style=”border:none” src=”//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6025971/height/100/width/480/thumbnail/yes/render-playlist/no/theme/custom/tdest_id/504486/custom-color/#87A93A” height=”100″ width=”480″ scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen]

There is a secret ingredient to prayer, and it can often make a major difference! It not only helps you to pray, it makes it flow better. And, it helps you to know what you need to do.

Unlike the “secret ingredients” mentioned in advertising, which usually prove to be standard components which everyone uses, this one is a genuine “secret in plain sight”, often overlooked by many.

December 2, 2017 – Who Are You Going To Call?

I’ve spoken about prayer in the last few episodes, and that leaves us with one question. The problem is, the question is so obvious that some don’t even see it as a question. Very simply: to whom should you address your prayers? And some other questions would follow. For instance, if what works for me doesn’t work for you, or vice versa, does that mean that one should impose their faith on the other?

The answer to this and other similar questions can be found, and found clearly, even in the Christians’ Bible. People who can keep their preconceived notions from interfering with the actual content will understand.

Blessed Be!
