Can I Get In On This?

Most people think faith only works for those who are really good, for those who are really close to God. Although it does help to be close to God it is however, not a requirement for faith. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed. So if your question is "Can I get in on this too?" the answer is yes. I bet you're wondering how this works then. Let me explain it to you.

! Warning

The new year is here, 2016 and everyone has great expectations and rightfully so. I have great expectations myself and I’m looking forward to a great year. Now in my continuation of teaching how to move into a better life I now need to bring you the areas of thinking to stay away from. Many people want to win the lottery and get rich some kind a way. Yes, I used a little bit of slang there, it’s okay. In my last lesson I stated that the sky is the limit. Yes, you can achieve anything you want and obtain as much money as you desire. The idea is to live a better life. The life God intended us to live.

Christmas Joy

It's Christmas all year round with God. If you ask you will receive. It's his promise. The problem is we don't believe it. If you don't believe you will not receive. You may be afraid to ask for something you really want thinking it's impossible. Well God deals in impossibles.

Sky is the limit

Okay so, Christmas is here and many people end up not getting what they really want. The first reason is because they spend most of their money on gifts for others. The other reason is they are not good at giving hints to their loved ones as to what they want or need so they end up getting a lot of what they don't need and don't know what to do with. One good thing to keep in mind is knowing that it's okay to let people know what you want. It's also a good idea to ask what they want. I know that everyone feels it takes the surprise out of the entire event. however, consider this. When you were a child you were instructed to tell Santa what you wanted for Christmas. This is the same concept. The only difference is I believe in asking God who will provide what you need and not Santa Clause, but that's just my two cents worth.

Faith Is Not A Secret

I've researched the Secret and most of it's instructions on how to improve your way of life. I'm taking a slightly different turn to that because this is how I've experienced it in my life. I have however researched all the instructions they provide and found that this is nothing new. We have been teaching these things for years. I will admit that most of the people who have taught this have not gone into details allowing its listeners to be divert into different directions. I intent to bring together with full details all the aspects of faith back into view demonstrating how it works to improve all areas of your life.

The Love of Money

* 1 Timothy 6:3-10 NKJV

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, [4] he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, [5] useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourse [6] Now godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [8] And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. [9] But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Happy Humpty

Some people believe Satan the deceiver is the reason of all their confusion causing them to make the wrong choices in life. Others blame haters for criticizing all their choices right or wrong making them miserable. Some blame previous lovers for all their pain. Consider with me if you will, that it's all of our own doing. I mean, yes, maybe Satan confused you into choosing the wrong lover and the haters criticized you but maybe, just maybe you knew what you wanted and went for it. Isn't that what life is about? I'll be the first to admit that you don't always get what you want or how you want

Keep The Memories

I have noticed, from friends and family, that many people are suffering through relationship breakups. Many are getting through their pain with hate while others allow insecurities and low self-esteem to take over their emotions. What we are not seeing is the true problem. The problem is not that it's his fault or her fault, not to say that either in the relationship is at fault, because "fault" is not the problem. The true problem is knowledge. Situations like these will always teach you what to look for in future relationships and what "red flags" not to ignore.

All work and no play?

We work hard not only to gratify our desire of accomplishments, but also to provide for our families. If you obtain all that you desire but have no one to share it with, what would the point be? If you disagree with me and feel that life alone is the best life that is fine. Please explain that to me because I don't understand it.

Skill or Spill

Do you write with skill or with crayons from once upon a time?

I'm sorry that I've been away for a bit, and that even now I'm late with my blog. Life has a tendency to distract us from our regularly schedule programs. Please don't think I'm out of commission. I'm simply a bit late this week, but eager to move forward with my thoughts.

Does Sex Sell?

Have you noticed how often sex is used to sell a product? Consider the sexy book covers. Comic books are riddled with huge muscular men and fall to your knees sexy females. What about movies and TV shows? Some people consider it sexist, but it's not just females anymore. Now they use male as well as females sex symbols. Gyms are capitalizing from the new idealism. Everyone is now lifting weights, dieting, and joining all types of aerobics classes.

Writing comedy…

Friends used to be one of America's most favorite TV shows. Many people believed it was the funniest show on television. For us guys my first question is simple. Who is the hottest looking girl on the show? I think Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow is the best looking of the three. Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) has a very sexy face, but she's entirely too thin for me. Although many considered Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) to be the hottie of the show, I only liked her hair.

A Deprived Life..

This post is about my upbringing and how it deprived me of regular everyday things. Please understand that I am in no way coming against any religious believes. In fact, I strongly believe in God. What I have issues with are some people's interpretation of those believes. Back in my youth most religious people judged in the manner in which they were taught. Therefore I understand it was not entirely their fault.

Dancing around your writing…

Those of you who know me know that I love dancing Salsa. I don't know what you dance when you go to the club, but this is what we do. Salsa takes technique in your feet, your hands, and your hips. The dance moves are intoxicating and addictive. The more you learn the more you want to dance.

Technology or science fiction...

Should we freeze future technology to make a profit with what we have? Most people believe technology is brought to the public at the time it is developed. Others, like me, believe that our scientists are much more advanced than what we know. That technology is kept quiet until the market makes the desired profit, and then the next level is introduced to the public. This is why you see a new upgrade each year.

To remove or not to remove...

In writing less is more. Therefore, take out what you don't need. Let's talk unnecessary phrases or clauses. Many people get very confused with this type of sentence. They're unsure if a comma should be use or not. The question is what the comma will do to the sentence. I don't know if you're aware of this or not but the comma will change the meaning entirely. That will take your readers down the wrong path.

Friends with Benefits...

I obtained tickets to see the preview this past Tuesday and thought my wife would like to see it. Chick flicks, I've seen tons of them, and any guy out there that's laughing at me right now is either in an unhappy relationship or alone. Because if you have a girl friend or are happily married you too, my friend, watch chick flicks in abundance.

O about that… dream, or fantasy…

What is your fantasy, your dream? What make you smile from ear to ear every time you see? Is it that new car? You know that dream car you've been fantasizing about. The one that makes you smile every time you see one drive. When something goes wrong you pull up that picture you have of it to calm yourself down. You can just smell that new car smell in it. The sleek design, the seats, dash, even the steering wheel looks good on it.

Grilling a novel...

I have several friends who consider themselves grill masters. I use specific spices when I grill, and of course, that changes depending on the type of meat I will be grilling. For this example, I will be using chicken as my meat of choice since it is very popular for grilling. First I season the meat with Adobo all purpose seasoning. I use this condiment on almost everything I grill or cook. It is very versatile. Next I sprinkle Black Pepper on the chicken breast or wings. Third I like to use Garlic. Usually I prefer the Garlic spice without salt, but if you have garlic salt that's fine too.
