Let's be Fair

People keep saying they want things fair and screaming equality. Well let's just get real fair here for a minute. The definition of equal is "as great as, the same as, like or alike in degree or value". Tim Tebow is a Christian, spoke openly about his faith and was criticized for it. Michael Sam is homosexual, acts openly about it on tv and is praised. What part of that sounds fair or equal? Both were male college athletes heading into the NFL proud of their beliefs, yet one is praised by the media for his beliefs while the other is criticized for discussing his? Do you really want fair?
 
 
"They attacked Tim Tebow for talking about faith, but they praised Michael Sam for being gay? Does the media have two different definitions when talking about tolerance? http://fxn.ws/1qvhvb7 " - Fox & Friends photo and quote
 

I had a post on FB a while back about sexual immorality but it can basically be summed up in this verse, "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

I'm not saying that any one who commits a sin or falls into one of these categories on occasion cannot make it into Heaven.  If that were the case I wouldn't stand a chance.  What I'm saying is that we have to repent of our sins and ask for forgiveness.  Repent by definition is "to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better".  My favorite part of that is that the actual definition says that repenting changes your life for the better.  Accepting Jesus Christ and his gift of salvation is always for the better!

2020 is Hindsight...Finally!

Wow, what a year! 2020 could literally be an entire decade, maybe more, of history, change, and lessons rolled up into these twelve months. While many aspects of 2020 were kind of sucky and we would like to forget them, it will certainly be a year to remember. And it will be enlightening when this year is looked back on in 10, 25, or 50 years to be discussed. I wonder if we'll seem like geniuses or idiots? Probably both to some extent! While there is so much that I could consider and analyze about this year, I'll try to break some of it down into four dimensions - Physical, Spiritual, Mental, and Social/Emotional. These are events and happenings from my world and perspective and I'm trying to be open in sharing and would love to hear from others on events you found most transforming. Physical When COVID cause gyms to close, that messed me up. Our town and state were late to be hit with severe cases and therefore later than many across the country to close up shop. I'm n

2020 Books

  I mentioned previously on Facebook that I'd share the books I've read in 2020 in case anyone is looking for a new read. Plus I figure this post can serve as one for friends to share some that they've enjoyed this past year as well. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Andrew Carnegie. This is a good book about personal development, relationships, etc. Vertical Marriage - Dave & Ann Wilson. Based on the title, obviously this was a book on marriages. While you'll see a few others on this list, this one was one of my favorites. How to Get Promoted - Anthony Park. Sorry boss! The worst part is I read this AFTER my annual review lol. It is good for people just getting their career started or working in larger corporations where you can get lost in the shuffle. The Power of Positive Thinking - Norman Vincent Peale. Great book on personal development. Leadership in Turbulent Times - Doris Kearns Goodwin. This book chronicles the life of 4 presidents, Lincol

First Blog

It's hard to decide what you want to write in your first blog since first impressions are so important.  So I figured I would start with the main reason the Brittnee and I decided to start a blog (if the name hasn't given it away) and that is the upcoming birth of our first child.  The sex hasn't been determined yet so for now it is referred to as ThomAva, a combination of the names we have selected.  So far so good with everything though as our little one gave us a thumbs up at our last ultra sound. She has also convinced me to buy a nice (female code word for expensive) camera so I'm sure there will be many more higher quality photos to come.   I always said that my, Kat's, and Jordan's childhood could have been a reality show before reality shows were cool so I look forward to using this blog to share and remember both new and old family stories.  And to hopefully share with others the blessings that God has given me over the years and as a way to wit
