Toil under the Sun

I recently have been removed from my career. I will not discuss the circumstances here, simply because it is irrelevant and in the past. (I have no hard feelings, except that a severance package would have been nice :) ) With that being said, it is not so bad being unemployed (so far). In the most precious time in our families growth I have been able to witness the past month or so of my son growing up and learning new things every day. I never would have been able to bond so much with him, and he with me, if it weren't for this opportunity. My wife, my son, and I have been able to spend more time together than we ever have! It has also gotten me to reflect on my life and choices. I decided I would post Bible verses/passages that either do or do not relate. Maybe people have used the Bible to try and encourage you or guide you in your career or career search. Maybe people have used these verses or passages and they have helped you out, or maybe they have made things worse and...

Obama is a Socialist and/or a Communist!!!!!

I keep hearing everyone ( Christians ) getting nervous about our president and the decisions that he has been making with regards to our economy and our way of life. They are saying that he is a socialist and that he is going to drive our nation into even more debt; that he is un -American (which cannot be possible). So I have been thinking about this a bit and had a conversation with my friend which sparked a few thoughts. First of all you should read my post entitled "I pledge allegiance to the flag.........." and you will get further insight into this topic. Let dig into the foundation of why Christians are saying these things about our president. As stated in past posts, for the most part Christians support that which America does to fullest without much questioning, especially after the fact. This means that democracy must be the way that God wants us to have government.... and so on (read my prior post). Pertaining to this post, this means that God wants us to have a ...

Who Needs Theology?

    I found this interesting reflection that I remember we were told we should write. The only question was "Who Needs Theology?" This writing is a reflection, and I thought it was interesting some of the topics I brought up like  dualism  worldviews and holistic worldviews. I wish I would have expanded more in this for you, but again I remember just sitting down and typing this out just like I type out most of the posts on here. I have actually brought most of these topics up in my writing on this site. Maybe this paper actually sparked my interest in starting this Blog up in the first place! (Most of the papers that actually seem like college papers that I have are more than 15 pages long, so the ones that I put on here may seem pretty simple...... because they were intended to be that way. One of these days I will post a huge one... and no one will read it haha.) 9/20/2005      Studying, really studying, about God and religion has just been intro...
