Celebrations of Marriage and Romance – The Right Fit The definition of marriage is the condition of being married; wedlock. One definition of married is a close or intimate union. When I looked up intimate, I found nothing attaching it to love, it is only attached to marriage. Accordingly, we don’t need to be in love to choose to marry. On the other hand, romance is defined as a love affair. Since marriage...

World Neothink® Day Gala – A Genius Idea! Being the A-Team Coordinator I had the Area of Responsibility of planning and preparing for our local A-Team World Neothink® Day Gala which was truly surreal.  When the time came for me to plan my attire it triggered memories regarding my being stood up for my high school prom.  It also reminded me of the fact that I was cheated out of the opportunity to wear the...

Last Easter Sunday, I Witnessed a Resurrection…….. It Made Me Think! As a part of the baby boomer generation, today, more than at any other time I can remember in my life time, people are living longer and creating healthy lifestyle changes to prolong their lives.  It is not uncommon for people today to live actively well beyond the age of 70 to 80 years.  In my past, the elderly did not want to prolong...

Don’t Let Life Defeat You! Here was my average day for the past fourteen years while working as a Special Education Instructor.    My alarm sounds at 4:00 a.m. and I get up immediately  rushing through my shower, hair, and make-up before I go wake up my son. Now it is time to prepare breakfast, help him get ready for school (he is disabled), feed the animals and get my mail ready (e.g. pay the bills)....

No Sex Before Marriage?   Recently my granddaughter, Jordan, came home from school with an assignment to make a poster that said: “No sex before marriage.”   There was just one problem: she didn’t believe that was a valid concept to have to make a poster about.  She didn’t object because she was sexually active – she wasn’t, although that was no one’s business.   Her parents also didn’t...

The Advantages of Having Discipline and Endurance At the age of twelve, while most of my classmates were vacationing on the beach or traveling abroad for summer, I was enrolling myself in the Jr. Red Cross Cadets, with my parents’ permission. I was taught how to treat casualties, and I saw firsthand and up close how to take care of the wounded. I was trained in using c.p.r., and the correct way to put on bandages...

The First Step to Success! Recently, I had the privilege of listening to a weekend- long workshop on how to be successful. One of the points the presenter made was that everything you have is your own doing. That concept actually guides us subconsciously every day. This is what hit me. I spent twenty years in the Navy and when my career was over I had not attained the rank I thought I deserved. This has been...

The Vision of Prosperity  One Nation:  If our government could make life less stressful do you believe that they would. I believed that they would, until I started to ask myself the question of why. In 1776 our country declared independence from the rule of a monarchy, we, our country became a free Republic. As time went along we established two party’s a Republican and a Democratic party. The purpose...

?Pure Love? Integration ?Pure Love? integration:  best described as the unconditional love parents have for their children.  If a child is drowning the parent will dive in, regardless of risk.  Parents will do anything; even die, for their children.  Their love is completely pure and complete.   Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, built his company piece by piece, integration by integration from...

Pandemic or Programmed Genocide (Part 2)  In my last blog titled “Pandemic or Programmed Genocide” I concluded with a statement from the Dept. of Health and Human Services, (HHS), stating, “The full promise for the progress HHS anticipated cannot be achieved as HHS does not have the requested resources to fully implement the plan it proposed.”  This report added that the fiscal 2008 appropriations...
