Change the world for good rather than bad
A fast moving world initiates continuous change and adjustments. Change does not mean compromising personal values for political correctness. It simply means adjusting to new ideas and new procedures. In many ways a Pandora’s Box of change has ascended. Scientists are experimenting with new medicines and new drugs to increase physical pleasure or improve the quality of life. The entertainment complex is pushing for more adult programming. The industry is money and ratings driven. Violence and sexually oriented programming will continue to flood the airways when there is no protest or opposition.- View Full Entry

Prayer for Children
Pray for children who are given everything except love and attention. We pray that the parents or the guardians of every child will realize that spending quality time, communicating and hugs are more important than cell phones, computers, and play stations, X boxes or a bedroom cable television. A prayer of love goes out to every fatherless and motherless child who cries themselves to sleep because of the lack of food and fresh water. We pray that the physical, emotional, safety and spiritual needs of every child is met. We pray for the children who have self esteem issues due to feeling that their physical appearance, academics or athleticism are not in line with the standards of the media or those of their peers or associates. We pray that young people who suffer self esteem issues will hear words of guidance and encouragement before experiencing psychological or emotional problems or before they physically act out or retaliate against others.- View Full Entry

Look for a silver lining in disappointment
Look for a silver lining in disappointments Some view disappointments as a prelude to failure others view disappointments as stepping stones to success. Most major achievements are born out of failure and disappointments. The space program failed many times before it succeeded. Experimental space rockets crashed and fell back to earth before a reliable space carrier was developed. Most medical cures are products of multiple test tube failures. The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers failed before they succeeded. Michael Jordan spent six years in the NBA before he won his first championship. Thomas Edison experimented with countless light bulbs before finding a reliable bulb. The Arizona Cardinals Football team won their division championship for the first time in thirty three years.- View Full Entry

Solutions to the oil spill may rest in prayer
The oil spill threatens the Gulf Coast and the Eastern Sea Board. The American economy is undergoing a painful transition. The effects of the oil spill are felt in the nation’s Stock Market. We live in a Global society. The world’s financial systems are interconnected. It is time for all Americans to work together, the Tea Party, Republicans, Democrats, Christians, Jews and those of the Islamic faith need to hope for a positive outcome. No political party is in a position to gloat over the present crises for a political gain. There are times when tragic events serve as painful reminders and teachers. The present oil spill lets us know that human beings are helpless in the face of nature. Hopefully BP will soon find a solution.
