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.
I am committed to observing a weekend free of political discussion on my blog and social media. This would be start at sun down on Friday. There’s been too much of it this week and a break from it all would be nice. So no talk of elections or candidates or anything else regarding the race for The White House on Saturday or Sunday. If something serious happens then maybe a blurb, but otherwise politics is off the table. Are you with me? Let’s do this.
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.
Some things you have to do in life are tough and messy. They have to be done though. It is kind of like removing a bandage from your skin. You know its going to be painful but you just have to grip and rip. Everyday has those moments when you dread doing things you hate. Everyone has that one thing they have to do but hate to do it. So no matter what unpleasant things you have to get done today I hope you will do it with courage and some peace.
I have been trying to decide who I will support in the presidential election of 2016. Today is the time when we need to move forward and do things to bring all people into the fold. Hillary Clinton I believe is that person. We cannot go backwards as a country only forward. I am with her. I am all in.
