Thought of the Day—If everyone made decisions based on the greater good as opposed to “what’s in it for me?”, we would live in a much different world…

Thought of the Day–3/26/18
Thought of the Day—Sometimes it doesn’t take a huge event to rock somebody’s world; sometimes it just takes something as small as just showing up with mouth closed and the heart and ears fully opened…
Thought of the Day–3/13/18
Thought of the Day—“If I had it to do all over again…” I’m sure we’ve either said or heard that statement before; it is the anthem of regret. It could be a past regret about anything from kids, marriage, education, drugs to a career choice. But guess what? You can’t change it; it’s in your past locked behind thick stone walls and a mighty mahogany door. And while you may find a twisted comfort in your painful memories of past regret and remorse, it’s time to let it go and forgive. Forgive yourself, forgive the others that were involved in the situation. Stop trying to mentally rewrite the script; just do a one eighty and step away…You deserve more in your present and future than a regurgitated past…
Thought of the Day–3/9/18
Thought of the Day—Congratulations! If you are reading this, it means that God has granted you another day; the blank page sitting before you represents YOUR day. Let’s make sure today’s page is filled with a smile on your face and a song in your heart, fun filled adventures, prayers and praise, your best foot forward as opposed to two steps back. For this could be just another of many pages added to your life journal or the last page flipped. That is why it is so important that we make every moment count. Today will be the memories made that we and/or our loved ones reflect upon tomorrow…
Thought of the Day–3/8/18
Thought of the Day—I wonder what would happen if we tried to spend more time with God and less time spent on making more friends and likes on one of the social networking sites? As important as friends are, friends and followers WILL come and go; we can’t afford to have a nonchalant prayer life and we can’t tweet our way to Heaven…Can I get a Like and Share? (just kidding…)
Thought of the Day–3/7/18
Thought of the Day—Did you know there is a huge difference between the words childish and childlike? Sure, all the characteristics of those two words are incorporated into the life and personality of a child but in an adult, the contrast is striking. To be childish as an adult has everything to do with self and nothing to do with responsibility; it’s an “I want” mentality that has far reaching consequences. To be childlike, however, is to embrace being an adult in addition to having a keen sense of wonderment of life and trust in others, of having an unwavering faith. It sometimes comes down to loving life as opposed to just living life. How about you? Are you walking around, disgruntled with life because it’s not going your way or are you caught up in the magic of ordinary days?
Thought of the Day–3/5/18
Thought of the Day—Virtually anything can be used for either good or evil. A simple large stone, when used in conjunction with many others, can build a magnificent castle but it can also be used to crush a man’s skull. An ordinary rifle can be used to hunt for much needed food but can also be used to end a person’s life. And the internet can be used to retrieve huge amounts of useful information but can also be a tool through social media to degrade and bully others. Even the tongue can build up or destroy another’s self-esteem. We as humans have a great responsibility at our disposal; let’s strive to become great builders instead of negligent destroyers…
Thought of the Day–3/2/18
Thought of the Day—One of God’s greatest gifts is to have a clarity of purpose, to run unhindered toward the goal God has instilled in your heart. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to sabotage our own lives to the extent of filling our days with ambiguous nonsense that leaves us paralyzed and useless. Here’s to getting back up and continuing the journey; forgive the friend or loved one, forgive yourself, ask for forgiveness, pray that God WILL give you enough strength for each day…and move on…
Thought of the Day–2/28/18
Thought of the Day—This world would be a much better place if we simply talked a lot less and listened more— to our God with great anticipation, to our loved ones without judgment or condemnation and to our own selves with sincere honesty…
Thought of the Day–2/24/18
Thought of the Day—Isn’t it funny how much we talk about love but how little we actually practice it? For love is an action word and not a spectator sport; we need to become a participant and start taking action. How will you show love to someone today?
