Just Be Humble

Do great things.  Just be humble.  I know it is not always easy, but good things do not always come easy.  Do your best to be  humble.  It represents greatness.  It seems ironic.  However,  I truly believe that greatness produces humility and humility produces greatness  Genuine humility is a great thing.  Go ahead.......do great things.  Let your great works speak for themselves.  Glory comes.  Don't chase it.  Don't brag about anything.  Be a humble person.    Just be humble.  Go ahead.......do great things.  Just be humble.  Make it a high priority.  Just be humble.  Work, create, endure, produce, compete, surpass, excel.  Work hard!  Come out on top!  Just be humble.  Glory will come.  There is no need to chase it.  Just be humble.

Two Letters to Disqus

So......what is your point, Mr. Peep?  Israel must fight for survival. God is helping them. That is 
just the way it is. You say: "I am an atheist." Why? Everything that has been created has a creator. Everything built has a builder. All things manufactured have a manufacturer. It is foolish not to believe in God.  "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalm 14:1 and 53:1)
What do you think about Jesus?   Is He the Son of God? (God manifested in the flesh) 




I am unwilling to argue with performance. I am unwilling to deny accomplishment. It is what it is. God does things the way He chooses to do them. He chose a people for Himself. (He needed to start somewhere) I am not a Jew. I refuse to hate a Jew. I refuse to hate anyone. If I have ambitions/dreams, and they go unfulfilled. Generally speaking, I have myself to blame, and only myself. Is there a substitute for hard work and determination? Is there a substitute for faith in, love for, and obedience to, the almighty God? Is there a substitute for the Word of God?

Keep On Trying. You Cannot Lose.

Keep on trying.  Do not give up.  Pursue that goal.  Ask God to help you. "Every good gift comes from God."  Is it God's will?  Make sure that it is.  Once you realize that it is God's will.  Please continue.  You cannot lose.  You can only win.  Keep on trying.  Keep on trying.  And I do not mean "half try."  Nothing will stop you.  Use wisdom.  Be patient.  Wait.  Prepare.  Execute.  Win.  Rejoice.  You cannot lose.

Go For It, You Can't Lose, You Must Execute

Go for it, you can't lose.  Prepare, prepare, prepare.  The time comes when it is time to quit preparing and start executing.  You have not just practiced.  You have not just prepared.  You have practiced right.  You have prepared right.  Go for it.  The time for hesitation has ceased.  Hesitation has it's place.  Practice/preparation have their places.  It is time to execute.   Do it.  Win.  Rejoice. Celebrate.  You are a winner.  Why are you a winner?  Because you prepared at your highest level.  Were you a winner before you executed?  Some say you were.  I say you were not.  You are not a winner until you demonstrate it.  You must execute.  Of course preparation has it's important place.  But you must execute to win.  And I do not refer to athletic contests only.

Something In April

It is already April 11th and I have not written anything.  Well, to be honest, this is the month that people mention "April Fools," and its day.  The word"fool" is an interesting term.  It actually has around 8 definitions. It is both a noun and a verb.  Add a suffix and it becomes an adjective. However, I will deal with only one definition.  It is important.  It is the following: "A person lacking in common powers of understanding."  To me, this is serious.  The following is even more serious:
"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God."  Does not everything made have a maker?  I sense the urgency to repeat what I have quoted. This time with its appropriate reference;

Psalm 14:1 (the first phrase of the verse)  "The fool has said in his heart there is no God."
Atheism is serious business.  It is serious foolishness.

Reche Caldwell "And That's All On Me"

Donald Reche Caldwell, Jr.was picked in the second round of the 2002 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers.  He played four years for them.  He then signed with the New England Patriots.  He became Tom Brady's main target.  He then played for the Redskins. After that he played for the Rams. He made a few mistakes and his professional football career ended in 2008.  He was an outstanding football player.  I write about him because I appreciate his honesty.



"I'm not gonna blame football or concussions like everybody else for my mistakes.  I don't blame my education or my hometown or my family.  I have a great family.  I had a great childhood.  I grew up in a great place.  This is about losing my way, being around bad people and making bad choices, and that's all on me."

The Basis of Our Political System

I am in favor of any political system that acknowledges and practices the will of the people.  There are no perfect political systems in existence.  The United States has a good political system.  There is always room for improvement.  Improve, improve, improve is a good motto for people of all ages.  The following quote by George Washington alludes to the importance of improvement.  Of course he refers to our political system.  However, I am convinced that it is also applicable in our personal lives.

"The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitution of government."     George Washington
