Small minds, secret finds
Time to open up the blinds

Let me start off by telling you I’m an idea guy. And I don’t like to talk much about people and things. I once heard someone say: “Great minds talk about ideas. Mediocre minds talk about things. And small minds talk about people”. I took that to heart. And I hope you will, too. Because it’s powerful medicine for YOUR mind.

Small minds, secret finds

Small minds borrow and steal ideas.

Ideas are words not spoken yet. And dreams not yet fulfilled. But they start the process. Close your eyes. And imagine your ideal set of circumstances for your life. Some people dream of lounging on the beach all day. Others long to travel. Maybe around the world in a yacht. Or on a never-ending trip through the back roads of America. Whatever you imagine for yourself, imagine it right now.

Now, what’s stopping you from achieving that dream? When you really get down to it, what’s holding down your ideas? I can tell you from my perspective I’m living out one of my lifelong desires right this minute. Ever since I was in high school, way back in medieval times, I dreamed of being a writer. And here I am with my own website. Writing my own articles. And even getting paid for my own professional writing service. If I live to be 100, I don’t want to stop. I don’t want to lounge on the beach or sail around the world.

Wait a minute. That’s not exactly what I mean.

Actually I’d love to lounge on a beach. Or travel more. But not as my ideal life. Doing those things would simply be a brief pause in my “real”life. And my “real” life is eternal. So, I know how important it is to realize ideas have consequences. Eternal ones.

So, don’t die. At least not before you’ve had the chance to express the full you. And not before you’ve had the chance to seal the right deal on your eternal destination. After you do, then go make the splash you’ve imagined yourself making. And don’t give up. Hope springs eternal to the dreamer who knows a future in paradise awaits.

While you’re still breathing, you can still make a difference; whether it’s in your life or the lives of those you touch. And always remember…There IS a Rhyme and Reason to life because God made you.

Stay tuned,

Just about everybody makes good and bad decisions. In America, freedom has given us much more expanded boundaries for making our own decisions. For us, life is full of choices. And since we’re human beings in a world full of sin and temptation, we sometimes choose the stupid things. Have you noticed this in your life. I know I have in mine.

Some bad choices we make have little or no consequences. Wearing plaid shirts with striped pants…not good, but besides a little embarrassment, nobody gets hurt. Or having a third cup of coffee on an empty stomach. You know your stomach is gonna give you some backtalk.

But again…nobody else is affected.

But when you make a choice that causes someone else to suffer negative consequences, you’ve crossed the line. And when the negative consequences include death, there’s no justification for that choice.

Advocates of the so-called “pro-choice” movement are moving away from that label. They know it doesn’t measure up to the term “pro life”. After all, what does pro-choice mean in just about all circumstances? A mother choosing to have her unborn baby murdered. In the vast majority of cases where a pregnant woman goes into an abortion clinic, a death occurs…

…but it’s almost never the mother. It’s almost always an unborn baby who was given no opportunity for choice whatsoever. What’s “pro-choice” about that? And don’t even start to say “it’s a women’s health issue”. Since when did it become necessary to kill an unborn baby to assure a woman’s health?

And if you include the woman’s emotional and mental health in the equation, there’s no doubt about it…most women will never achieve a level of optimum health with an abortion.

Yes, life is full of choices.

Don’t you wish they were just choices about which job you take? Or what kind of car to buy? Or whether or not you’ll wear plaid with stripes?

If you’ve made a bad choice and decided to have an abortion, would you get in touch with me first? I can connect you with people who can show you a wide variety of beautiful, wonderful choices you can make instead. And if you’ve already gone through with your decision, I’d still like you to get in touch with me so I can pray for you…and with you if you like.

God knows what you’re going through. He said if you’ll only seek Him, He’s easy to find…and He’s waiting for your call.
