Fifty Years with the Golden Rule
We are going through a tough time right now, aren't we? Is this time showing you what really matters? Some things in life matter and some do not... Maybe this pandemic is showing you what really matters... Make some changes... Live your life for the moment and realize what really matters...

Just Mercy
We all hate injustice, don't we? Yet how do we fight for justice? Is there a right way and a wrong way? We all want to believe that there is equality across the board but how does it look in reality? How do we define fairness for all when we live in an unfair world...

Here is a question...
Where are you when I need you?
Why are you not here?
@JoSH Poetic Popcorn Poetry
Well... it seems that we have finally reached the lowest of the low... We are stealing toilet paper from each other. Since when has toilet paper become such a hot commodity? The thing is what is the connection between toilet paper and the coronavirus? Hmmm... I have got to figure this out...

One Thousand Gifts
Who wouldn't want to get a thousand gifts? A hundred gifts? Ten gifts? One gift? How do you change the humdrum into something more than? Do you thank God for the gifts that he gives you everyday or do you take him for granted? Don't ever take him for granted...

The Promise of Blessing
Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people... So what is the difference? Perhaps it has to do with our outlook and how we handle diversity? At any rate, the whole world is going through diversity right now... So how will we handle this? What will the outcome be?

I Am of Irelaunde
I am Patrick... Do you ever wonder how St Patrick became a saint? There was a time when he was just Patrick... What made the difference? Wouldn't you like to know? There is a movie that came out that explains what made Patrick the man he became. Watch it...

"In a world populated by billions of people, we chose each other. In sickness or health, we chose each other. When work has gone well or badly we chose each other. With kids and school and sports and craziness, we chose each other. With temptation and options, we chose each other."
There's something so simple and yet so profound in choosing "each other." Most don't even keep their marriage vows to each other and yet they chose each other. A promise that was meant to be kept but was broken. If you promise to choose each other and keep that promise...

"A woman's heart is not won by strength or masked truth. It's won by poetry. A handful of wildflowers and a bottle of her favorite wine, even if you prefer beer. If you want to truly be a man, study the heart of a woman. It is the landscape that we were made to travel."
What is it women want? It's romance... It's the little things that we remember about the ones we fall in love with. It would be ideal if men rather than just getting a high school diploma where their wife is concerned, went and got their doctorate. Don't you think?

We Stood Upon Stars
Are you hankering for the good old days when it was just between you and the wildlife surrounding you? This makes for an interesting read about the Southwest and parts of California. Rather than getting caught in the rat race that we call life, it might be an awesome idea to get closer to nature and to the creator who created it all.
