Walking Through the Valley...

Ye though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and staff they comfort me Psalm 23:4

This posting comes at a trying point in my life and one at which I'm determined not to shy away from the issues that I'm facing at the moment...

How Do You Follow Up From That...

Wow!

I thought I'd best leave it a bit of time to let the waves settle having discussed quite a heavy issue as national security in my last posting, hence the delay before this one arrived.

I trust you've all been well... I know I have!

What have I been up to? You ask...

Who's Watched or Watches the Watchdogs? Part Two - Civil, or Uncivil Liberties?

ADVISORY: The following information is entirely of my own opinion and is naturally composed, therefore, of my own free will and with no outside co-ercion (sic!). This is in fact simply my chance to say my piece on the whole "national security" debate having seen "Citizenfour" and the excuses that are often used to monitor what we say or what we do!

Also, this may contain triggers for some, so please, read on with caution! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Whassup!

We're back again and I trust you found the last posting informative and worthy of your time. If not, then I'm sorry. But if you did then thank you for coming back for part two as I look into personalising what I raised in part one.

Are you ready?

Then let's do it...

Well now that I'm about to touch literal dynamite because this is a touchy subject given the events depicted in CitizenFour allowed Edward Snowden to air his views on his terms without "outside co-ercion".

It's quite a jump going from Generosity/Stinginess to this, but one that I feel is necessary due to the impact that the 2014 documentary "Citizenfour" had upon me on Wednesday evening. So let me see what I can do and hopefully, by the end of it, you will see why I believe what I do and will be able to understand where I'm coming from and appreciate where I am going to.

Are you ready...?

The World of the Stingy

"The world of the generous gets larger and larger;
the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller" Proverbs 11:24

Have you ever noticed that the less you have, the more you want, or the more you have the more you still want?

That's the question I'm going to be focusing on today as we head into a new season of prosperity and super-charged belief in what we are doing in order that we become amongst the best in the world at what we do!

A bold statement that may appear to be, but I want you to consider the ramifications of such a statement as that because it will straight off help you to assess whether the words of your world really are framed large or small, by generosity or stinginess (ED - let's see how many Scrooge references appear here!).

Ready for the fireworks?

Here we go...

The World of the Generous

"The world of the generous gets larger and larger;
the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller" Proverbs 11:24

Hello and welcome to another musing on life, the universe and, well, everything!

When I use the word "generous" what springs to mind?

Do you think of a certain relative that's no longer with you who was always giving you treats? Or maybe you just think of "helping people", which is generosity in its most basic form.

Either way, there are many connotations that come into effect the moment that you start considering about what it means to be generous...

Arise and Shine

Whassup, bro's!

This feels a little alien to me because I'm writing this from a laptop I'm fixing... at my home address! :D

You may know by now that for some months I have been without computer because of a certain wine spillage I told you about, so it's still odd getting used to this (ED - what he's not telling you is that he's currently in the process of fixing it for a relative!) having been only able to access it through computers at the library or Avanta when I go there for my jobsearch.

But that's by the by, because I'm always looking to keep this updated now that 2015 is well and truly in flow...

Even The Great One's Can Suffer

ED - Again, if you haven't read those postings "Where Praise Is Found", "Where Praise Is Planned" & "Where Praise Is Pointed" then you can check on them by clicking the links.

Whassup, bro's!

It's ironic how I can complete my "Where Praise Is..." series of postings and then almost immediately have to learn from them myself. If you haven't read it already then check them out because I'm sure you'll find them useful...

Every Step I Take

Whassup bro's!

I don't know about you but I've certainly been given plenty to think about in relation to the completion of my "Where Praise Is..." series of postings.

If you haven't already checked it out, or want a recap, then check back here.

I've been giving some serious thought to what the next series should be about, but have so far come up empty (ED - don't worry, keeping TLP quiet won't last long!).

However, there is some good news on the horizon...

Where Praise Is... Pursued (An Addendum)

Whassup, bro's!

I read this on Saturday in my emails from Joel Osteen Ministries and thought it'd be worth sharing with you...
