"Its Okay....Its Just Broken"

He is a tough young man.  He is a college football player.  He is a linebacker.  He is a star.  He loves to play football.  He loves to hit.  I saw him last week.  He had a cast on his right arm that covered his hand and ended just below his elbow. "What is wrong with your arm?" I asked.  He answered by saying:  "Its okay, its just broken." I saw him play tonight.  He was still wearing his cast. He had a great night.  I don't remember how many tackles he made.  Like I said:  He is a tough young man.  And his arm?  "Its okay, its just broken."

Love Is Not Overrated

How could it be overrated?  How could it be overrated when life itself comes from it.  Love is the source of life and life is the source of love.  Love makes one alive.  Love keeps one alive.  Love is the purpose for living.  It is not just for "show," but you show your love when you show your kindness.  You show your love when you show your patience.  You show your love when you share your time.  You show your love when you work, help, consider, listen, guide, sustain, nurture, instruct, protect, sacrifice, wait, support and even more.  At times, love may be embarrassing, but others may say; "No, love is never embarrassing."  Does love hurt?  Maybe.  Love is so powerful that it travels to areas we may not understand.  If anything, love is underrated.  Love can be misunderstood and possibly abused, but no..........Love is not overrated.

Chargers VS Raiders 1961

It was September 17, 1961, just a couple of months before my 18th birthday.  It was the first year the Charger professional football team resided in San Diego.  What a year it was!  In San Diego's Balboa Stadium, it was the San Diego Charger's debut.  It was against the Oakland  Raiders.  What a game it was! The Chargers looked great against the Raiders.  Bo Roberson and Charlie Flowers scored two touchdowns each for the Chargers.  The Chargers were great on defense as well.  The Chargers won 44 to 0.  What a game it was!

Faith Has No Limits

"If you think you can do it, you can."  I know that it may seem to be a melodramatic thing to say.  It is old.  It is tested.  Some have believed it, some have not.  Nevertheless, because of a belief inside of them, many, many people have achieved great things.  Many marvelous works have been accomplished.  Why?  Because people have believed.  They have tried.  They have worked hard and smart.  They have not given up.  They have made sacrifices.  They have achieved.  The odds were against them, because logic and reason were against them.  They had something superior to logic and reason.  They had faith.  Not only did they have faith, they had strong faith.  They achieved.  they succeeded.  They realized their dream.  They were ahead of everyone else.  They had no limits........Faith has no limits.

"Faith is a sounder guide than reason.  Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits."     Blaise Pascal

Freedom Is Dangerous

The subject of freedom is probably my most favorite subject to write about.  Obviously, many before me have written about the subject.  Most persons cherish their freedom.  People are free to believe in what they want.  Sometimes this causes arguments, disagreements, and even violence.  So yes, freedom can be controversial and even dangerous.  I still prefer it over a police state.

"I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."   Thomas jefferson

Some Thoughts About Taxes

It was stated a long time ago by a man who is considered one of the founders of this great nation.  It had to do with society being divided into two classes.  Those who paid their taxes and those who lived off the taxes.  I realize that we all benefit from taxes, but not all of us depend upon taxes for our living and survival.

A Quote about taxes
