A Walk to Remember

A Walk to Remember


Thursday I finished reading “A Walk to Remember” by Nicholas Sparks. I’m not sure why but lately I’ve been in the mood to read books that were made into movies. With this one, both the movie and the book are equally good. This movie, like Forrest Gump, is not just a cinema version of the [...]

Live For the Moment – The Path of Peace


Jesus is our Lord, our Friend and Lover of our Souls, but he is also the King of Kings and sovereign over our whole lives. I’m sure many people plan their days both at work and off-work, but we have to also remain flexible as our Lord leads us through each day. I know myself [...]

Water for Elephants

Water For Elephants


My daughter recently commented to me that she was bored and there was never anything to do. I told her that if you could learn to love reading books, then life was never boring because you got to go to so many places in the United States and World here in this age and in [...]

Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind


Well I made it through all 960 pages of this timeless classic and it was well worth the time. I’ve always loved the movie, but the book is far better. In order to make the movie just four hours, they had to combine scenes and leave some people out entirely – such as the fact [...]

The Myth About Saturated Fats


I find it interesting that when the government says something is good for you or something is bad for you, the public takes it as the gospel truth.  Here’s the problem, our government bought into this whole myth because of the Seven Countries Study conducted by Ancel Keys in the 1950s.  Keys hypothesized that saturated [...]

The Secret of Contentment


I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find myself in a cycle of “dis-contentment”. Usually, it is when I’m in the midst of trying to solve all my own problems instead of just sitting at the feet of Our Father and leaving my burdens there and allowing him to create calmness out of chaos, [...]

This Election is about Obama or Obama-Lite


I really hate this election cycle! I really do not want Obama in office for another four years. However, the choices for President on the Republican ticket is sorely missing the mark. The only candidate that will stand up for our constitution and small government is Ron Paul. However, in my mind, he has two BIG [...]

Are Washington Leaders Ruining the Economy on Purpose or Are They Just Plain Ignorant?


Government officials in Washington would have you believe that the economic decisions they are making are in the best interest of the public and that chief economic advisors agree they are doing the right thing. These officials would have you believe that running a country (economically speaking – macroeconomics) is vastly different than running your [...]

Forrest Gump


I’ve been in a mood to read books that were made into movies, and I just finished Forrest Gump. Most of the movies that were made from books run pretty close to the actual book, though usually the books are much better than the movie.  However, with Forrest Gump it’s different. The movies is not [...]
