I was praying yesterday, and asking God to forgive my mistakes of last year and to give me a quiet spirit of peace and determination to do better this year. I received a feeling of comfort about it and felt His warm loving Spirit engulf me and remind me of something that I often say, but perhaps don't think about enough . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/good-grace-and-opportunity/

Many this morning are nursing a bad hangover which has left them with a terrible taste in their mouth, upset stomach, headache, and maybe some regrets about their conduct last night. I know all too well what results from excessive drinking, because I did it for decades . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2018/01/remember-and-resist/

I was reading this morning that Donald Trump has the exact same poll numbers that former President Obama had at this same point in his presidency. To me that is truly remarkable considering the enormity of negative press he has received, which in mainstream media is up to a whopping 95%. Likewise, he has been relentlessly bashed by celebrities, Republican and Democrat establishment, deep state, and liberals of every stripe . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/who-is-that-guy/

I have the nasty habit of looking back at my past and wishing I had not made so many mistakes in life . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/love-like-a-dog/

My son told me of a hilarious conversation that he had with some liberal friends who love Obama. They were mad at Trump and vociferously running him down and he asked why they were so upset with him. They replied because of the tax cut . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/hilariously-funny-or-is-it/

A friend sent me the provoking little stories below. During this very special time of year I felt it appropriate to share and reflect . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/the-important-stuff/

To one and all – Merry Christmas! . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/true-greatness-defined/

Yesterday as I pondered the stinging results of the United Nations' vote to admonish Donald Trump and the United states for moving our Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, (128 for, 9 against, 35 abstentions, and 21 sitting it out,) I better understood why the United States has been so generously blessed by the Lord. We have stood by Israel when practically every other country in the world lines up against her . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/no-longer-standing-alone/

The Christmas phenomenon is interesting to me. The Lord left His throne in heaven and came to earth to be born in a stable to lead the life of a humble servant in order to offer His sinless life, pure and innocent as a newborn lamb, as a ransom for many. In a few days we will celebrate His birth . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving-3/

Since Thanksgiving I have spent considerable time setting goals for next year and re-prioritizing my life in an effort to exert maximum energy in a focused manner to achieve my goals for next year . . . http://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2017/12/old-rusty-barrel/
