The night before Christmas and all through the house…. not one light was blinking nor mistletoe hung…it was all quiet and still in the house. WHAT? Have you become a GRINCH? Are you out of your mind? You don’t celebrate the most beloved holiday ever known to man? The crowd roared with disbelief! With eyes that twinkled and a dimple…
Yep….so true. Everything that happens in your journey here on this side of the time realm….is all about perspective! How’s that you say? Well, how you view something, is how you will approach it. If you view something that happens to you as catastrophic…or devastating..than you will possibly sink into despair or depression. Falling into this trap and having this…
The story of life you say? Yes. I believe that one can discover the meaning of ‘life‘ inside the symbolism and history of this minor feast day….this historical event where a handful of determined, patriotic, God-fearing people overcame the struggles of an oppressive, tyrannical, ruling elite.

And…while my advise to everyone who asks how to get out of one of those slump/hump days is to change your perspective. But then, as we all know, sometimes your own advise…
As we enter into another ‘end of the week’ I’ve realized that almost all of humanity takes a deep ‘sigh of relief’ that the week is over. Anyone ever think of that? It’s strange … all of humanity takes a deep sigh of relief when Friday rolls around. Maybe it’s a God thing. So as Friday rolls around, let’s pause,…
Yes, that is quite a header….but stay with me….I found this short explanation written by someone unknown concerning how we should view ‘death’ …. here we go: “Every year, as the high holy days approach, I remember the strange synagogue in Jerusalem I visited on my first trip to Israel a long time ago.

What in the World? When you look around, there is simply so much going on in all parts of the world – it is enough to throw up your hands and say “ENOUGH“!!! Some days…that is exactly how I feel and I am sure you do too. But is that what we are to do? Give up? Despair? Throw that…
