This line is busy press one.

 I am not one normally to complain,  but in the digital age complaining seems to get you nowhere in fact it takes you right off of the boat.  Because we have connected ourselves in a digital manner we seem to want to resolve personal relationship conflicts in the same way.  But because we are not digital people we are real life human beings whenever there is a relationship conflict between two people whether it is a professional conflict or any other kind of conflict our first  instinct is,  i'm going to write about you on Facebook and that should solve all of my problems.

 Being that we live in a society where almost everyone now has a voice and that voice can be heard on a social network of at least an average of 100 people,  we should it seems to be getting along quite well in the realm of face-to-face communications with the real life human being.  It seems the more we know about a person when we see them in person we should be able to resolve whatever conflicts we are having with them very easily but the opposite is true.

 Because we are plastering everything about our lives online these days we have seem to lost a very valuable commodity in the area of building and keeping professional relationships and social relationships.  I'm finding that relationships with doctors are extremely stressful these days because of the online threats and harassment that we can find ourselves in  after we have voiced our concern of course online and not in person or through the regular mail.  The good old days are gone when when we had a complaint with someone we would take it directly to that person in person and not have to worry about the dreaded emails and phone calls,  hiding exactly what we wanted to be exposed to in the first place.  Social media can be beneficial in building up an online friendship base in which common problems can be resolved very quickly but when it comes to more complicated issues  The complaint department on websites like Facebook don't meet the needs of our every day lives.

 If only we had a direct line to God in this sense where we could take our complaints to him,  instead of getting a voicemail machine saying this line is busy press one to leave a message.  Human to human relationships will never go extinct because they are necessary for the survival of our species.  Let's face it folks we are not digital people we live in an age where being digital or being online is the norm.  There are some things that can't be resolved in an email and there are some things that can't be resolved on Facebook hence there are times in our lives when we need to go back to the way we lived 20 years ago and live in a way that conflict can resolve itself without the use of technology.  Press one for more information.

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 ...
