Things Aren’t All That Bad

I find it interesting that people say certain things are destroying our country when in reality the things they defend do much greater harm. The people who complain a lot are the ones who see others getting the rights and privileges they have exclusively enjoyed. People feast on fear of things that are different and we all know what fear can do to a person. Yes things aren’t the way they used to be and change is a fact of reality.

We pick the wrong fights about things that really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I am not big on doomsday but prefer to have hope for a brighter tomorrow. Fear not is a common theme throughout scripture and maybe we should just chill out. Maybe we should work to be better and not bitter when we don’t get our way. My friends everyday is a new opportunity to make things better for everyone, not just a select few. The freedoms you have are the same freedoms people are struggling for elsewhere. Yes there are people who seek to do us harm but the best way to counter that threat is to live our lives and to share love, not hate.

Things aren’t all that bad. Don’t worry, be happy as Bobby McFerrin once said.

Use Hashtags, They Work In Getting You Noticed

When you use a hashtag from a national brand you just might get Tweeted back to in a positive way. The power of a hashtag can get you noticed, improve your audience and help you make connections. Today I did a Instagram of my lunch and used the hashtag #velveeta and lo and behold Velveeta responded to my post. Another blogger suzie81speaks talked about How to use Twitter Hashtags in her blog today. It’s worth the read.

Rambling About Mega This and That

Mega is a buzz word these days when talking about something huge. Whether it be a store or a church mega seems to be what many like these days. It’s all about making the biggest splash and the biggest impact. Computing has megabytes and now there is terabytes. Mega is the thing and if you aren’t mega then you aren’t worth much in the minds of our consumer driven world. Buy in large is the thing and if you aren’t big then you aren’t worthy. We have a Jurassic Park mentality where you have to spare no expense and always provide something to amuse people. Are we still saying bigger is better or can we change the culture there? Megaminds want to know.

Rambling About Chilling Out

We all get wound up about things in life and that leads to its own problems. People really need to learn how to chill out. For me, learning to relax is not easy. I feel like I have to be doing something, thinking about something and that leads to me sometimes just crashing like a computer or worse. My brain seems to be running all the time, and you know that is not a very good thing especially at night. There are people who say they will sleep when they are dead, but you know I need to sleep so I won’t die. Maybe our high-stress world would be well served by just not sweating the small stuff. Not everyone can relax even if they tried because they need to have control over every situation in their lives. So everyone let’s learn to chill out.
