Tebow Can Handle It

Tim Tebow can handle the pressure. He just is not a perfect person. He is not a one man team for the Denver Broncos. Every NFL football team is supposed to have eleven players on the team. Tebow is not Superman. He needs his offensive line to block for him. Who is mainly at fault when a quarterback gets sacked? Is it not the offensive line? They need to just give him enough time. Why all of the verbal abuse against him? I know why.......jealousy. Why don't his critics attend a University that is a football power and earn Heisman Trophies? Tebow has proven already what he is capable of doing. He is, however, a member of a team. A team works together on that athletic field. Football is not golf, boxing or tennis. it is a team sport.

Herman Cain: Part ll

So he has been accused of sexual harrassment? Where are the accusers? Where is the proof of a lawsuit? Who are the women? The way Cain has handled these allegations proves to me how much class he has. The way he has answered the questions germane to this matter is honest and genuine. Cain has a spiritual power that none of his opponents have. Cain is feared because those trying to stop him view his frankness, sincerity and genuine ways as a threat to their "professional sincerity." Herman Cain is for real. This country needs him. His enemies will continue to attempt to find "dirt" on him. This can backfire. I am aware that politics is the dirtiest business there is on this planet. Nevertheless, it is necessary because government is necessary. Political leaders all have faults. We do well to find the leaders who have integrity and whose faults will not interfere with their ability to lead.

Chaz Bono

I am unable to feel what another human being feels. I can only think for myself. I can only conclude for myself. I do have a right to have a point of view regarding decisions people make. How are we to live our lives? Who makes the rules? What are we supposed to do? What is right? What is wrong? The issue between right and wrong is a war. Yes, it is a war. It is a battle. And the war that I speak of is not necessarily fought among people. It is fought within the minds and hearts of individuals. At times, a grown person will say: "I am going to do what I want to do." Alright, just remember, there are consequences for what we do. Sometimes we do not like the consequences. What if, instead of a person saying: "I am going to do what I want to do," he or she said: "I am going to do what I need to do." Or, let us take it to a higher level: he or she said: "I am going to do what God wants me to do." Do I speak for God? No. But I repeat what he says. I will keep it simple. I judge no person. Chaz Bono is not the only female who has attempted to convert herself to a man. She will not be the last. It is wrong before God. I could select other scriptures, but I will select only one. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Gen.1:27) "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good." (Gen. 1:31) I believe with all of my heart, that the most important thing in this world is the Word of God. Why? Because the Word of God is God. Could God have made a mistake when he determined the gender of a person at the time of conception? No. God does not make mistakes. Everything that He does is perfect. Life is a gift from God. The gender determination is a gift from God. We must not tamper with that. We must somehow learn to deal with our challenges without doing things that truly harm us. One last thing: too many people live in this world without the knowledge of the Word of God. I consider this to be the biggest tragedy on this planet.

Herman Cain

Herman Cain wants to be the President of the United States. I think he would make a good one. That is just my opinion. He is intelligent, articulate and talented. He is the type of person who knows about hard work. He has studied hard and has succeeded in the business world. He knows about business and economics. He comes from a poor family and through hard work and determination, has succeeded. He is also a Baptist minister. This means he is familiar with the Word of God. This means he has more than just religion. He knows the Word of God. It has guided him all of his life. One thing Cain has in his favor is that he is a leader. He is an ex CEO of a thriving pizza business. Another thing that favors him is that he is not a professional politician. This by itself could cause me to vote for him. I am not saying I can't change my mind. I know politics is dirty business, and something could happen to him to prevent him from continuing his campaign. He is gaining popularity. He is gaining momentum. He already has my vote. One last thing: I don't think he is as wealthy as some of his competitors. This could become an issue of concern germane to his campaign.

The Envious And The Unmotivated

They come from all walks of life. They come from many backgrounds. Some even have college degrees. They all want to be successful. They all have pride. They all want it easy. They have an important missing ingredient. They have mocked it. They have never developed it. They wish they had it, but some are not even sure what it is. Some think it is contaminating and a cop out. Some think it is a sell out. They want the benefits it produces. What is the missing ingredient? It is in 3 parts. Motivation, hard work, and discipline. Because they do not have the three part missing ingredient; they will criticize those who do. The criticism will be fueled by a passion. It is called envy. It is called jealousy. Look out, because jealousy is the rage of a man. It will cause a person to do crazy things. It will cause a person to accuse. It will cause a person to intellectualize and be self-righteous. It will cause a person to do many things.....except, maybe.....get a job.

You Can't Break Tim Tebow, He's A Gamer

You can't break Tim Tebow, he's a gamer. He will survive. Does he have a great attitude? You know the answer to that question. No doubt the press will have no mercy on him. He does not worry about that stuff. He is not perfect. But it appears perfection is expected of him. Some people cannot stand the fact that he is an athlete/gentleman. Yesterday he was instrumental in almost reversing the outcome of a game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers. Tebow scored a running touchdown. He also threw a touchdown pass to Knowshon Moreno. "He came in and gave us a spark," said Willis McGahee. Of course he did. That is what he is. That is what he does. You can't break Tebow, he's a gamer.

Herman Cain

I am interested in politics but the political arena is not my major interest. I would be lying, however, if I told you that I pay very little attention to the men and women who are/were vying for the Republican nomination for the United States Presidency. I pay more than a little attention. Herman Cain has gotten my attention. He was born poor. However, he had an excellent upbringing. The emphasis was on faith in God, hard work, education, discipline and responsibility. In the land of opportunity, he took advantage of what was available to him. He studied hard. He worked hard. He became a successful business man. He became wealthy. He "paid his dues." I do not consider him a politician. I consider him an astute business person. I consider him a man who is conscious of how finance works, how the market works, and how to improve business. He knows the heat of competition. He knows the heat of competition in the real world of business where if one does not produce he is gone. Herman Cain is intelligent. But it does not end there. He has done something with his intelligence. He is not a bureaucrat who is afraid of his own shadow. He is skilled in observing and reporting. What appeals to me is that he is not a career politician. He is a skilled man who is taking his talents into another arena. His experience in the business world can only help.

"We are not happy until you are not happy"

He could have been a gay activist or an environmentalist. Maybe he was angry about a political decision that was made that he did not agree with. Maybe he was mad at his boss and wanted better benefits. "We are not happy until you are not happy," was written on a man's tee-shirt. He looked dissatisfied. His face matched what his tee-shirt said. Some people just do not realize that slogans are very limited when it comes to societal change. When slogans insult somebody then the message is just an example of our right to express ourselves. Not much more. If we want change, we need to be "convincers," not just "expressers." The man's tee-shirt did not give me enough information, and I did not request any. In my own mind, I did jump to conclusions, however. I assumed that what ever he was campaigning for; I did not agree with. Obviously I did not have enough information to agree or disagree. However, two things affected me immediately: the message on his shirt, and the look on his face. That was enough. I prefer not to receive angry messages from angry people.
