I would like to take this time for a public service announcement…
-_- <…grrrr…>
Facebook and Twitter are NOT conversation/communication tools. It is not a phone call, it is not email, it’s not even a txt (which is also not reliable). This goes TRIPLE for WALL posts.

It is not my monkey if your “important message” is lost in the 300+ (yes, that is a ‘3’ followed by two ‘0’) notifications I receive in a day.

If a message is TRULY important, try a method that is traceable. Email has “read receipts”. You can can get delivery notification on postal mail also. Heck, maybe you should try a PHONE CALL or personal conversation. This is called SOCIAL MEDIA for a reason folks…

I have a REAL WORLD life, we should ALL be unplugged more than plugged. If establishing and keeping relationships are the point and purpose, realize this CANNOT be done in under 150 characters.

Ok, I am done now.. ^_^

May Jesus have His way with your day

I’m all about names

I like names. They are very important. A name says a lot about a person, a people, an organization…

For a child, a good name (at least for boys) means growing up being teased or being honored. Joseph was a strong name in my family. Joseph was the gifted boy in the book of Genesis who, though sold into captivity by his own family, honored is father by rising up to be a great man in the king’s court and saved his people from famine. (Genesis 37:1-46:34)  My Grandfather was Joseph. He was a great example of a provider, husband and though I am sure growing up in his house was not easy, he was an honorable man who took … Click to Continue →

Are we becoming Babylon?

Are we, as a nation, becoming the image of new Babylon as portrayed in the book of Revelation?

As I read Revelation 18:1-24 I see a significant similarity to our culture, arrogance, failures as a society and ultimately the very real consequences. Economic collapse, moral decay, and an eventual erasing of a culture.

It seems as if Revelation 18:3 is describing our prior status as power broker of the world. As I read on I see the consequences of a nation called to greatness when we put a Biblical ethical standard at the forefront of our daily practices. That was a standard of honesty, honor, respect, hard work, fairness, and a bond among men, that camaraderie, where men held each other accountable at … Click to Continue →
