Recess time.

We like to think that we have forever to live, forever to find our dreams and try to make them happen and to a certain degree this is true. We obviously don't have forever to accomplish the things we most desire in life so that leaves us with an open question, will we ever find ultimate happiness or contentment. The answer is yes, (if you want it to be.) Life deals us with many screwballs, I am dealing with the baseball metaphor, and it is how we respond to these blips on the screen of our lives that will ultimately determine our legacy because if we are honest it is what we leave behind that matters most to us. Legacy is a great word to talk about because we are all looking for our meaning and purpose in life, but a serious question arises.."How long will we have to live here?" Legacy then doesn't become a life long series of events, but a segment of events as determined by God for how ever long you live. Could be 10 years, could be 15 years or it could be 21 years that will determine your legacy.

I don't think it should be an intentional thing that we set out to do, I think it should be motivated by our inner most heart or our soul, what kind of legacy am I or will I leave for those left behind. I'm sorry but money won't do, we are human beings and as human beings we have dreams, hopes and desires that if left unfulfilled will leave a big empty space in our hearts until it is filled with something or someone!! Can you see that empty space right now? I can. It's filled with peoples expectations of what they think your life should be like, if you are going to clean that room the first thing that has to go is other peoples desires for you. It's nice to have people on your team, but are they active players or just there for the ride? Ya clean your room of their desires, they are grown ups they can clean their own rooms.

A dream or a desire is just that, it's a wish, and when it comes true you will still be you. You will have to eat and sleep, you will still have to dream and I think our dreams take us into eternity, where we will never stop being human, and love will never die. Consider the bible.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
