General Eisenhower would demonstrate the art of leadership with a piece of string. He’d put it on a table and say: “PULL it and it will follow wherever you wish. PUSH it and it will go nowhere at all. It’s just that way when it comes to leading people. They need to follow a person [...]

When Push Comes To Shove… Afraid of Love
Posted: February 28, 2012 in Wandering Thoughts, When Push Comes To Shovei know the name Jerry Garcia only because my son gave me two Jerry Garcia ties for Christmas. So needless to say i have never listened to his music, never heard the following song, read or heard it’s words before today. But… it brings another point to ponder regarding “When push comes to shove.” “When Push Comes [...]
DO AND SAY – Two brothers once lived this way; One was Do, the other was Say. If the streets were dirty, the taxes high, or the schools were crowded, Say would cry, “My what a town!” But his brother Do would get to work and make things new. While Do worked, Say would cry, [...]

i have a different direction for today. Jesus summarized His life in only two verses.

And [...]
There have been times in my life when someone would ask “would you do me a favor” and I would immediately say “Sure!” Then, I would find out just exactly what that favor entailed, and get frustrated with myself for not saying something like “…depends on what it is.” I’m sure many have come across this [...]

There’s the issue that i feel that i’m being taken advantage of by those who are [...]
Well here we go… again… and again. Most days i forget about the logo and slogan i attached to this blog. Here’s what i said, “RECYCLE! Webster’s Dictionary says this, “to claim for further use” or “to recondition and adapt to a new use or function” or “to pass through a cycle again.” me and I Am [...]
i don’t remember all the details regarding a conversation i had with some one this week but the question i was asked was, “ed, do you really believe that God cares about you? Do you really believe that?” Later i was thinking on the question and this verse came to me. i wish i had it in my spirit and could have [...]
A few days a go one who is close to me sent me this passage. i doubt that he would have anticipated how relevant his verse would be just a few days later. i received an email earlier and it brought this verse to mind immediately as i read the words within the email. All of this came [...]
There is a saying that says, “Old fishermen never die; they just smell that way!” The saying reminds me of carnal Christianity that always has the smell of death about it. It stinks. It has a repulsive odor. However, there is something refreshing when a beautiful young woman comes into a room wearing an elegant fragrant [...]
