Bliss is supposedly a state of mind or even a physical state that I’m not sure that I have ever experienced. It is supposedly a state of mind and/or body where you feel relaxed and happy. Ordinarily, I have had too many things on my mind to ever feel very relaxed mentally, and keeping myself…

On Atheism
I was listening to a guest author on a popular talk show while driving somewhere the other day, and this guest had written a book about doing away with all religious organizations. His theory was that they are divisive in a social society. Religions are pitted against one another and so on. He felt that…
On Trust
On the United States currency we read, “In God we trust.” There are many citizens of our country who think that statement should be removed. They have no trust in God nor faith that God had anything to do with the founding of this great nation. More of us, on the other hand, believe that…
On Weathering Storms
Around this earth of ours there are areas that will experience more extreme weather than other areas. Some of these areas have weather-related tragedies that other parts of the world seldom, if ever, experience.

Not only was he the creator of this earth (after which the Father proclaimed it to be good!), but we should also contemplate His great artistic talent and decorative skills. We need to give Him credit, as well as our thanks, for decorating the earth the way that…
On It’s in the Makin’
When we initiate a plan, or, at least, are included in the plan, whether it be a company project or a personal/family project and we really buy into it, we become excited, and our labor will be more intense. The difference in the energy level of our labors when we are laboring with a vision,…

The story in the Old Testament of Jacob’s ladder is often viewed as a fairy tale or a bad dream that Jacob had, probably brought about by his choice of a pillow (a stone). The story goes as follows: “And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place, and…
