The Bible and Inertia

2548) I was reading an article recently that focused on inertia. I found it interesting because I can plainly see its fingerprint all around me, including in the mirror. Inertia basically means things love to keep doing what they are doing. Patterns form quickly, and once they establish themselves, changing course will be a fight,

Look for the Fruit

2545) Having a Master’s degree in technology is a result of the gift God has given me to understand and “see” how it works. One of the things I’ve been watching in this field is the establishment and huge growth that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made in recent years. As most things do when there’s

I Was Only Joking

2541) The other day, I was watching some random videos, and an old clip from a show of yesteryear came up. I sat at my computer and laughed throughout it; smiling when it was over. As I sat there afterward, it occurred to me that humor has changed through the years. Yes, there were the

A Good Name

2533) Because I run two small businesses, I am subscribed to several marketing newsletters. If they are reputable and not just self-seeking, you will read that a person’s brand and reputation is vital. This vitality is of far more value than trendy advertising and hacks. If someone were to whisper your name and/or your brand,

Three Things

2521) I have noticed in my writing that I often use three points, examples or arguments about multiple things. I like this because three give validity for whatever point I’m making. It’s not just two examples or points, it’s three, showing credibility. In light of this, it’s interesting that God, too, uses three things in

The Lions in my Life

2497) I have never been to a circus, though I have seen enough of them on television to picture what happens in a show. One of the things I think I would have been scared to see as a child is a lion in the same cage as a person, and the lion is riled

Knives

2348) For many years now, I have been prone to drop things. I don’t know if there’s a medical problem, but it’s a reality. I have found that if I’m not careful to acknowledge this when I’m holding things that can cause great damage or be damaged if I drop them, it can lead to

Flattery Will Get You?

2341) There’s a difference between encouraging and flattering. When we encourage, we are supporting someone. We hope to bring confidence and maybe hope. (Oxford Languages.) To flatter someone, we give insincere praise, usually to further one’s own interests. (Oxford Languages.) The word flatter in Hebrew is chalaq, which means to separate and divide.

Winning Against Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s

A Step Back

2288) When I look at verses like Proverbs 1:7, I sometimes think, this verse isn’t about me. Why? The verse says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Certainly, I have the “fear” or reverence for the Lord, but it is the second part of this verse
