It's Your Choice!

I'd like to share this story. Elvis is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood. Whenever asked how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!” He was a natural motivator. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Elvis and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Elvis replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can cho… Continue

THE POWER OF CHOICES

THE POWER OF CHOICES Former president Ronald Reagan once had an aunt who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes. The cobbler asked young Reagan, “Do you want square toes or round toes?” Unable to decide, Reagan didn’t answer, so the cobbler gave him a few days. Several… Continue

Choices

Choices I live at 161 Henry Street, Apt. A1 on the 1st Floor. Above me on the 2nd floor lives a homosexual and two other men that to me don't appear as homosexuals; but they seem to be allowing the homosexual to try and seduce me into a homosexual relationship with him; the other two men may be homosexuals too; but I can't prove it because one is always with a woman and I think the other one is son of one of the men. I am a married, heterosexual male and I am faithful to my wife. but this hom… Continue

She is Quite Some Lady!!

(Another from the achives... study in Proverbs...) Wisdom, that is!! Proverbs depicts Wisdom as being a lady, compared to the harlot called Folly. Here are her credentials:

Her companion is Understanding, and they both call out to the simple and the foolish ones.
What she says is excellent, right, true and just, and to those who understand it is VERY plain, and to those who find knowledge it is right.
You may have the choicest of gold and silver and the rarest of rub

WISDOM is all about CHOICES!!

(More from my Proverbs archives...) Wisdom is the knowledge and ability to make the RIGHT choices at the RIGHT time. That's what I read in my Vines Bible Dictionary. (Not exactly in those words, but those were the thoughts.) And as I see it, the whole book of Proverbs IS a description of what wisdom is. It shows us how to make those right choices. It's about how to direct this free will that God has given us. If we didn't have a free will, we wouldn't need wisdom, because God, being so… Continue

So, What is Wisdom?

(More from the achives. I find reading something enough, we eventually "get it"!!) Wisdom!! That's what Proverbs is on about. And if you want to be wise, just read it and do what it says... sounds simple! And King Solomon, who wrote most of the Proverbs, was so renowned for his amazing wisdom that people would travel hundreds and thousands of miles to hear him. So really, what IS Wisdom? And what did Solomon have that others didn't? Well, that's what I wanted to know, so I did a bit o… Continue

Birds Of A Feather

From My Perspective - - - - Most have heard the phrase: “Birds of a feather flock together.” As we have been faithfully nurtured by parents and grandparents, they warned us about the company one chooses to keep. It’s based on the idea of birds of a feather flocking together. Another phrase that flows from these expressions is that one can fall under the banner of “guilt by association”! All of these are cautionary phrases so ones value system directs one to make the right choices for life an… Continue
