Rant & Recommend

I gave Lucy the same gift for her birthday that I gave her for Christmas, our anniversary and Valentine's Day...a day of unlimited hot running water! We checked into a motel and as she washed and re-washed her hair all I could hear was "AAAH!"

One of the disadvantages of a motel room for me is that I have the tendency to turn on the TV. In a matter of minutes, I was overwhelmed with "News" which consisted of child abuse and murder, celebrity vomiting due to drug abuse, marital infidelities, the most unreal "reality" shows and educated experts as guests on talk shows to tell us how to manage our anger, raise our children and eliminate our debt. Problems are highlighted and opinions are freely offered. Yet out of all the answers to our societal woes, no one mentions God....

Any psychologist will tell you that a child who doesn't know who their father is will have difficulty in their life. There is a sense of loss; a lack of identity and belonging. Half of our nation doesn't even talk about our Father God. We have a national holiday called Thanksgiving and yet...we can't teach our children in school "Who" we're thankful to!

Please forgive me, I didn't mean to rant but I did need to get that off my mind and out of my spirit. I do, however, wish to make a recommendation. Let's you and I begin to publicly acknowledge God in our daily conversation.

Try saying "God bless you" in place of "thank you" and "good-bye." When someone calls you lucky, tell them "I am blessed by God and highly favored" or "the Lord is good to me." When someone tells you that that the economy is bad, jobs are down, prices are high etc...just tell them "It may look that way but God is good all the time; all the time God is good."

Seeds! We need to plant God seeds if we want the knowledge of God in America to grow. The following, my friends, is NOT an opinon...it is truth!

God is the only Answer to our questions; the only Solution to our problems.
