Houston Mayor

Where is the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Houston?  The mayor of Houston has issued a subpoena for sermons from pastors demanding that they turn in sermons relating to homosexuality, gender identity, and the current mayor (who happens to be homosexual).  This is the same group that attacked Clemson earlier this year accusing them of exposing athletes to Christianity and saying that was illegal since Clemson is a state supported college.  Well if y'all want a separation of the church from the state then keep the state out of the church!

Our world and country may change over the next few years and it has begun to do so.  But I revert back to Acts 5:29 - Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!"  Manmade laws will not determine what is right and wrong, only legal and illegal.  It seems that we will all eventually face a choice between standing up for our faith, or conforming to what the world says is right.  I pray that when that day comes that I will have the strength to stand for what I know to be right and that I will stay rooted in God's Word until that day so that I have the knowledge to defend my position to those attacking it (1 Peter 3:15). 

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.  "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9  God's plans, laws, and thoughts are so much more advanced and great than anything we can conceive.  How about we rethink the laws on the books and just go by the Ten Commandments for a few years and see how that works out? 

Everybody now days likes to talk about equality but few people actually want to see it.  The FFRF tried to tell the State (Clemson) not to talk about the Church (Christianity) so how about telling the State (Houston) not to censor the Church (Pastors)?  That seems pretty equal to me...guess y'all should get headed on down to Houston.


You can see my whole post about Clemson and the Freedom From Religion Foundation from back on April 16, 2014.

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...

Planes Fly in the Sky

Let me be very honest and candid about this - when I first read about the proposed airplane tax cut, I was not happy (just say it, I was mad!).  I thought that it was ludicrous to consider cutting tax revenue while counties are already struggling due to decreased sales and collections of local taxes.   However, unlike many people in today's culture, I didn't take to social media to start talking about how stupid the idea was and how much I disagreed with.  Instead, I started doing some research.  I looked up some information, asked some questions, had some conversations, and I learned some things. This was important for me to understand because I own a boat (I consider planes and boats luxury items) and pay Union County property taxes.  However, that boat hasn't been in Union for years.  It's housed and operated in a neighboring county.  There's not even anywhere that I can safely and legally operate my boat on public property in Union, yet I stil...

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...
