I believe I probably mentioned this already, I had a dream where God told me not to judge others because I’m not omniscient and I might make mistakes when I cast value judgments about those around me. It’s like when people judged me for not doing my homework properly cause I said I was lazy...

I don’t accept advice from people who give me the facts, I accept advice from people who hint at the facts because I believe God wants us to hunt for our own knowledge and facts and not rely on the previous hard work of others. That is why I do not read very useful mailing lists, I read lists...

This year I learned a lot of the people I formerly considered to be horrible people were not evil or malicious, they simply misunderstood me and were misunderstood by me. I learned that just because somebody previously disliked me, did not mean they could not learn to like me later on (as...

Your life is like a building with a foundation and a subsequent build up. When you build your life on the foundation of service and integrity and humility and respect, you have a firm foundation that can prepare you for the second layer of love and compassion and forgiveness and kindness. This...

I think the reason many people choose to hate others is that they want to feel superior to them too boost their own broken and disheveled ego and somehow hating and vilifying others, mentally affirms your comparative quality over the person you hate. I remember I once asked why people make fun...

I used to watch his videos every so often and he is very insightful when it comes to interpreting story lines and has intelligent methods for understanding Genesis but I find him to be too pessimistic for my liking. Like I know we live in a world where many suffer but I believe it’s possible to...

I had two major factors that were affecting my weight loss, maybe three. The first was hunger because of liver issues, I learned about two supplements that reversed that problem within 4 days. The second was I did not have time to exercise and since exercise made me hungry, I thought there was...

I find a common habit among wicked people which is they are overly and unnecessarily suspicious and doubtful of others I remember I made friends with two Chinese girls at my school and one of the girls forced me to babysit her child for over 3 hours and later I ran into another woman who did not...

Most people believe happiness and health is achieved by being cared for and expansively rich But the scriptures teach that strength is achieved by caring for others and being cared for when you don’t need to be cared for weakens and harms the recipient of the privileges. This is backed up by...

In the bible, the men of Isaac tried to build a well and failed in their first two attempts because their enemies stopped up the well but their third attempt was a success. This helped me understand what it means to carve out your niche. When I was in my late teens I wanted to make myself as...

I believe when you are close to God, That the Lord will end your abusive relationship or block you from dating the bad person in the first place. I know people who had abusive partners that were dumped by their husbands or wives when they lost their jobs. I had poor judgment but have never been...

One thing I’ve concluded is that if you are happy and confident and healthy and are interested in playing fair through giving others the same courtesy you give yourself, than you do not need attention or praise from others. I know people who love and attention and honour and esteem and I do not...

1 - Meekness / Modesty / Lowliness / Self-Control / Submission to God and righteous Social and Spiritual Authorities Give You Power Over Creation. If you always live with caution and concern and courtesy and creativeness you will be protected from many disparaging habits that affect others. The...

The bible says that humility and the fear of the Lord leads to wealth and life and honour. Now riches is more than just money: it involves high quality relationships, positive impact, high self confidence, meaning, purpose, compassion, creativity, intelligence, wisdom, gratitude, joy,...

I learned this week that goodness has healing properties: I was in a group counselling seminar and giving advice to two depressed people who were struggling with their issues and I realized that as I activated my parietal lobe to help them and boost their mood by telling jokes, that my back pain...

To me humility is about being excellent in service and private social performance and not about being excellent in results or reputation because Jesus said your reputation can change and so can your results but your character and love can remain constant forever so it is better to focus on...

A Harvard Educated Angela Duckworth said the greatest determinant in your ability to succeed is your grit which is your ability to persevere and conquer and trouble shoot difficult and challenging situations but I believe she failed to capture the full picture, because grit is usually associated...

I am reading a book right now and they discussed how one city had an unusually higher number of people who had lived past 100 years. The researcher spent tons of money researching their diet and their lifestyle and their economic situation and their education and there genes to figure out this...

The woman’s initials are R.V. And she wrote a book called “Finding the woman of valour,” which is the Jewish translation of a word that in English is substituted with the term, “Godly.” In this book she talks about how this reference in songs of Solomon refers to following your predecessors when...

Today, during my weekly creative writers group, we were asked to write about a hero in our lives and even though I usually have no difficulty with prompts, I realized I could not find somebody in my past or current life who fit the category cause I come from a very secular and anti religious...
