Wisdom From Martin Luther

Christians are called upon to love their neighbors as themselves and to share the love of Christ with the world. Humility is something Jesus talked about and lived. In your work its better to do your best and show you have pride in what you do. It’s a reflection of the gifts you have been given from God. Making great shoes is a better statement of faith than to put crosses on the things you make or on your person. Martin Luther is very right that it’s better to work hard and do good than to offer lip service to a world that just doesn’t want to hear it.

Rambling About Mobile Blogging

Blogging on ones smartphone can be a great way to post on the run. A downside to it is the auto correct feature that takes words you meant to say and turns it into something else. The result of that is a post that doesn’t make sense if you don’t proofread it, which I am guilty of doing. When blogging on your phone keep your posts short and be sure you proof as you go along. I encourage mobile blogging because its a great way to capture the events of life in real time. Your phone can be your friend in blogging.

Thursday, March 3, 2016 – The Week Is Almost Done

Hey friends I hope you are having a great day. The weather here is yucky this afternoon but that seems to be the norm as of late. I am ready for some spring time weather I think. Winter seems to have come and gone without fanfare.

The weekend is coming up close. I am ready for it. Let’s finish the week strong.

#TBT Throwback Thursday: Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

This song was all over the place back when I was in high school. It has also made a comeback as a part of the modern meme scene. When you listen to this tune it hooks you instantly. It’s one of the classic hits of the era.

Instant Inquiry – High School Re-Do

Anyone ever think they would want to re-do high school or certain parts of your time as a teenager? Is there something you would want to change or do differently.

I would have worked harder on math because I suck at it. Then I would have tried to be more out there. I have the heart and soul of a servant and I wanted to do things to make my school better. Maybe I could have done other things too. Perhaps it was meant to be the way it was so I could be the person I am.

For me high school was about learning and succeeding though I had a learning disability. Socially I was a bit awkward but I embraced the friendships of those who were on the fringes. When you are a dork you are going to be drawn to fellow dorks. However I did gravitate to some on the “inside” who befriended me. Most of the time I was a total nerd who didn’t get invited to much. I don’t now come to think about it.

Let’s think about our experiences as they were and if we changed them would they change who we are now. That is kind of a “Back To The Future” style question.

BTW do you like the ginormous glasses and stache in my senior picture?

Rambling About Stress

Stress is a part of adulthood and life overall. We have it home, work and even in things we love. Everyone has some level of it going on in their existence. I am trying to deal with stress in life so anything I can do to not bring it home is helpful. There are various ways to cope and to relieve stress so I am trying to implement them as a part of my life. I need a break to get away from it all. Perhaps that will come soon.
