Saturday, January 9th, 2010

By Stephen Lowe
About 15 years ago, I read the book 7 Men Who Rule The World From The Grave, by Dave Reese. It was one of those books that really stuck with me, but I hadn’t read it since. I finally bought a copy this fall, and read it again this week.
Though […]

TJ’s Wisdom

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

TJ’s Wisdom. This was forwarded to me via e-mail. (I have vetted some but not all of these Jefferson quotes).

Thomas Jefferson
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government […]

Just wondering (part 2)

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

On my drive back from GA today I felt like I got “schooled by the Holy Spirit” (again). Good for Him… painful for me. Potentially, more mental/spiritual adjustments for me to make —
In the light of Prov 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own […]

Just wondering (part 1)

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

In light of Christ telling us to “Pick up our cross daily and follow Him.” And, to “Be of good cheer” because He has over come the world. Not to mention Paul’s admonition in Philippians 4 to “Be anxious for nothing…”
Would it then be considered self indulgent to embrace depression and despair when […]

Racial Respect… for all.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Let’s stop racism in it’s tracks once and all… for the whole planet… shall we?
Here’s the situation as I see it: One God, one Adam, one Eve… we’re all brothers and sisters. ‘Nuff said?
Not sure? OK… scripture says that “God formed Man out of dirt from the ground…” There are many […]

Do you value life?

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Do you value all life? Somebody sent me an e-mail with this film clip. The note stated that this father’s love is like God’s love for us. I like that thought. Take 4.5 minutes and watch this (keep your tissues handy):

If Michelle Obama is finally really proud of America because of Barack’s run, she should be aware that Obama is not the first […]

America’s glass… 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Yes or no… Do you love America?
I recently listened to people call into a Nashville talk radio show and share what they loved about America. To my surprise, most of the comments where profoundly moving.
Ideas like America liberating Europe and the Pacific during WWII (and our military forces are ALWAYS LIBERATOR’S). […]

Living Life Sans Malice.

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

(It’s sort of La Vida Loca) - I was speaking with a new friend of ours the other day. He shared with me that he works with mentally challenged children. He made a statement that has altered how I see life… permanently. He said that he truly enjoys his work because all […]

Recession?

Friday, January 18th, 2008

I listened to the Dave Ramsey’s radio show yesterday. He spoke about the “recession”…. or lack there of… A recession is defined by 2 quarters reversed/negative economic growth. That’s not happening at this time. The “Fed” (Wednesday 01/17/08) has said the current US economic picture is SLOW growth - (around […]
