Common logic is a good tool in making decisions. Most decisions are thought propositions. To me this means thinking things through. However, how do you deal with those nagging sensations to do something. I have to say that one must have a standard. It really would be great if we could anything we want without any bad results. The freedom from anxiety would be refreshing. However, thinking things through allow us to truely value the decisions we have made. The reader of this blog s...

Today I plan to answer some citcisms I have of myself. My first concern is why I make political commentary when I say my blog is on perserving life and human dymanics. Well, I believe that before we can change the world, we have to change ourselves. All my articles are written with the intent on educaing the reader on how to live a complete life experience. We may not want to accept it, but we are all tied to one another. Our actions make contributions in the lives of others. In...

Different levels of human activity contribute to the peace and tranquility we all enjoy. Crazy driving behavior, sour looks on customer service people, irrational debates about politics with co-workers, and overall international human condition can drain our energy or inspire us. The previous conditions are the reason we all need to grow up and become better neighbors to one another. The way the world is going presently I think the greates threat to humanity is the amount of animosity t...

The conversation on stress reduction therapy begins with lifestyle. Since work is a reality of life, it makes better sense to organize our day around our work schedule, then to try to cram in as much as possible before we go to sleep. I try to go to sleep one hour after I get home from work. Then when I wake up I do what I need to do around my home, like laundry, cleaning, and doing some shopping. There are 24-hour wal-marts and the Internet never closes. The point is to have a good...

Yes I am on a crusade. It is my hope that people are inspired to take ownership of their mental health. I think it is a tragedy that people are suffering in light of all the information that exist in our world today. In addition I know the truth concerning God and salvation. Through everything I have seen and studied I can affirm that the God mentioned in the King James Bible is one true God and accepting His son, Jesus Christ, as your lord and savior is the only road to everlasting li...

With this article, I can deal with two issues. The first thing on my mind is to continue in my effort to speak on issues of health. Therefore, I will give my quick course on how our human nature is created. I am not a person who discounts God’s hand in our creation. I know He made us with the necessary ability to understand and learn. Through an interaction with elements of our environment, we develop our attitudes, perceptions, ideas, and suppositions. As we receive information, w...

Our ugly truth is that we have become very cruel people. Most of us are anti-neighbor. We are constantly looking for flaws in other people so we can condemn them. In addition, we practice the science of dirty and judgmental looks. I state this points because before we can begin to live a better life we have to be willing to see our true nature. All of us have serious problems. Only you know what your behavioral challenges are in your life. It is my hope that you have an honest int...

Personal health begins with spirituality. I define spirituality as the positive human energy that comes from a healthy relationship with God. I identify God as the creator of everything who has revealed himself to us through His word which is documented in the original King James Bible. I highly encourage everyone to assess their spiritual direction and come to terms about serving Him or not. The next issue in perosnal health is diet. We have to eat the right things in order for our bod...

This article is on getting beyond the hurt from having someone play with your emotions. All of us at one time or another invest in someone that is not capable of returning our sentiment. This hurts when it ends. At times, being in the relationship is abusive itself. The results can range from anger to major depression. These feelings are normal. The secret is to realize one very important fact. Their inability to love us does not mean that we are not loveable. All it means is that th...

Greetings, I hope everyone is fine. Today I meditated on a lot. The thought that I would like to share is a question. I am curious about how many people are actually in control and able to make decisions that effect their lives in a positive manner and how many people feel that no matter how hard they try life is always getting in the way. I ask this questions because I do believe that evil and Godly forces are at work in our lives. In addition, the realization that most pepole are j...

Today I was listening to NPR in the morning. It was all about the democrats. To this I say that I do not see any constructive evidence that states what specific issues these democratic canidates for the 2004 presidential race support and which ones they are not in favor of. Not only that. No one person is going to make great change. If a democrat is elected, he will face a republican congress. Moreover, I do not think that a perosn should get elected just because he can bash the curren...

What stands between men and women is their fear. This is a fear of not knowing what to do. The reason this fear exist is that the messages we get from many sources in the world only give a superficial look at relationships. This look is one of working, paying bills, making children, and living together in the same home. When we finally get into a marriage, we find ourselves lacking the abilities to live a true emotional experience with our spouse. I know I jumped ahead. Well I mean...

Greetings, I know I haven't written in a while. However, I just wanted to tell you that even though I am going through hard times (again) I feel incredibly inspired. This is why I am writing to day. I want to tell you that if you should be going through difficulties there is someone that can help you. That person is you. We choose our spirit. In additioin, we choose our emotions. We can either be positive and happy or something else. Now I can also say that I have learned that G...

When I first starting contributing opinions to this web blog site I told myself that I would not post Christian articles. The main reason is the opposition. To many are ready to be passionately animated the second they hear God’s name being mentioned. In addition, I know God has done everything possible to get His message out. Therefore, you do not need me to tell you something God Himself has already told you. After all what would I gain, but to add to your skepticism of religious pe...

What better gift God offers us than a friend to understand us and loves us despite of our flaws? Today, I will speak on the issue of romance. Among all the other elements of life we take for granted I believe romance also needs our attention. I know you are convinced that with eveything that is wrong with the world, romance is the last thing we should be worried about. Good point. However, I ask you " Who by worrying can add one more second to their life?" I believe the answer is no ...
