Paying Attention to Detail

Paying Attention to Detail

As much as I like detail, I am the worst, when it comes to paying attention to detail. How does that make sense? Well... I don't make mental notes of random information. I can't always tell you what someone was wearing, where they were standing or who were with them, unless I have direct contact or something really caught my attention/eye.

More people are like me than they may care to admit. There is tons of information surrounding us in a matter of minutes. My philosophy is... “Why clog my brain with things that are not pertinent. At my age I must preserve all the brain cells I can.”

Kevin and I were on our way to worship, when we noticed a business we pass, daily, on the main road, had closed. I don’t’ know when it closed, but from the looks of things, it seems as if it had been a while. When they were opened we never noted many cars there and that may be the reason it closed.

They may have closed because the road was just too busy. No one paid any attention to their presence. I know this too, sounds strange because investors teach, “Location, location location!” The down fall in today’s society is, people are busy heading to their destination, not sightseeing, especially on busy roadways.

Leave and Cleave

Leave and Cleave

Author: Sharon Verrett

When marriage was designed, a man was ordered to leave and cleave, that is to leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, the bible tell us this in Genesis 2:24. However, that time seems so very long ago and things are different now, right.

Well ...the world may change and people may change, but God's words stay the same. "But, that's in the Old Testament," scholars may say, "We are living under the New Testament laws of today's Christians."

That is true, and the Old Testament is indeed for our learning. When a man, keyword “man,” becomes a husband, his major priority becomes his own wife and family. A wise person can learn from positive past experience, needing not to reinvent the wheel.

Now reverting back ...this command was so very important that it was indeed brought to the New Testament, the law we stand under today. We can find the same statement repeated again in Matthew 19:5.

It is often said in the marriage vows, as it is stated, " “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”…remember that part? read more...

Fork Tonuge

Fork Tongue

Executive Order!

"Executive order is needed to protect the American people from the Middle Eastern terrorists. we must make sure we are safe," he says. It's in an effort to make America GREAT AGAIN! I ask... are we doing this with no rhyme, clue or reason? How is he charging an entire culture or race of people for the sins of a few?

He claims seventy-eight world attacks have been motivated by the Islamic States. I ask, is not Dubai an Islamic State? Why do we have a picture of him making a deal with the chairman of DAMAC, a Real Estate company in Dubai, if they are a threat? Why is he in Dubai? Keyword "Real Estate."

We need to be protected from Muslims, he says, except ...if he need to make a brand new Trump International Golf Club in Dubai, set to open in 2017!!! Like this year, people! so now we can compromise and be friends,...  

So are we like naive little children or Boo-boo the fool? He claims to separate himself from his businesses by, "putting all his companies in a trust, which will be handled by his children and in eight years they will be relinquished back to him, with much profit, he hopes," he said.

Well_ the problem with that is, they are still his companies even in a trust and in Dubai, large memberships can be purchased with expectations of favors, not just Dubai, but Los Angeles's New Golf Course and other prime real estate property, as well. 

Maybe it's just me, but there is something scarily wrong with that thought. The conflict of interest part, want be gotten around to or enforced, but eventually ignored just like the tax documents. 

Maybe it's just me, but something is wrong with that picture of tough tactics and bands on a NATION of people or countries without legitimate cause, asides from the fact that it's just wrong and discriminatory. 

I think it's a candle burning at both ends, producing a whole lot of smoke screens. Have you not seen it yet, America, bait and switch, speaking with fork tongue?Tough and pudding in someones hands. Make us believe one thing, when it is actually something else. Now I ask, "What's really going on?" 

The Dishonest Marriage

The Dishonest in Marriage

Author:Sharon Verrett

Why is there so much dishonesty in marriage? A woman might ask, "Why do men lie?" A man might say, "You know you can't trust a woman." Why do those thoughts stand with the woman or the man? Is it because of failure, the desire to deceive, the fear of honest or just because the option of lying leaves mystery and secrets concealed?

Whatever the reason it brings a dark awful cloud into the relationship. A relationship built on lies is simply not real and bound to fall. It is always said if something doesn't come out in the wash; it will certainly come out in the rinse.

Just the fact of lying is a dirty job. When we tell one lie, we have to tell another and who remembers what was said the last time? The person you told the lie silently remembers and often keeps a reflective head tally, just to remind you and watch as your web of deceit grows, until the day you are all tied up in them and just as a spider's web catches its prey ...so will your lie catch you.

Nothing is like the strong detergent of truth, keeping things in the relationship honest and clean. There is nothing like having someone who you can trust. Someone you can share and always know they honestly have your best interest at heart. read more...

Kiss While There is Still Time

Kiss While There Is Still Time

From: www.saverrmarriage.com

One last kiss ...kiss while there is still time, is the thought for today.  Kiss while the day is young. When I make a remark like, "Wow, death is in the air. There are so many people who died this week." Kevin would say something like, "There are so many people who die every week."

However, the "Duh" moment may be_ it stands true. Life is short and tomorrow is not promised. I know three elderly spouses, who are being buried this week. All couples who lost their spouses were marries over fifty years.

I am sure they can't imagine what life will be like, now that they must go on along. I hope they have left their spouses much more than an insurance policy, but a bank full of wonderful memories to pull from when the nights are dark and the moments are sad, memories that bring joy and laughter.

When that day come we have nothing else left but memories. So while there is still time, enjoy and make those memories that can last past our demise. Kiss while there is still time. Create laughter that brings tears, and lasting wonderful moments of family and friends, while there is still time... read more...

A Natural Mother

A Natural Mother

Author: Sharon Verrett

Some people are born a natural mother. You can see it in their childhood. I am that person. As I look back I realize was always a mother waiting for a child. Mothering is part of who I am, my personality.

I remember my first doll, that came in this big box, I she was so soft. I was her mother and she was my new baby. As I grew older, too old for dolls, I was the great baby sitter.

My dates with Kevin often included tag along kids, which I was mothering at that point. I knew what I wanted from Kevin, to get married and have a daughter.

All went well, just as plan... until I began to mother him and the baby. I figured he needed me to guide him and show him what to do. He had never been married and somehow, though I had never been married either, I thought I was the authority. Read more...
