MADE IN AMERICA I DIDN'T KNOW HALLMARK CARDS WERE MADE IN CHINA ! That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark anymore, They are made in China and are more expensive! I buy them at Dollar Tree - 50 cents each and made in USA I have been looking at the blenders available on the Internet. Kitchen Aid is MADE IN the US. Top of my list already...

Today, while I was exercising at the park, I encountered two guys I know. We struck up a conversation about staying in shape. One brother mentioned that exercise generates the energy for fellowship building in a lively and uplifting way. He said, "No one wants to be around someone who is always tired and complaining. When you are meeting with others in a group, each person should be lifting up

Controlling your thoughts is a critical skill for all athletes to develop and use on a regular basis. Alison Arnold, Ph.D. writes in her article entitled, "The athlete Warrior: 10 Principles for Becoming a Champion", thees principles which should be studies and applied by gymnasts. She lists the following principles: Intention; Belief; Awareness; The Present; Discipline; Trust; Joy; Compassion;

I'm now Head Boys Coach at KT's Allstar Gymnastics at the Santa Maria Mall. We have all the latest equipment and safety devices. Comeby or call to inquire about your son or friends who may be interested in gymnastics. It's a great activity for youths which builds strength and flexibility. I competed in gymnastics from middle school through college level and love the sport.

Laodicea USA By Grant Phillips When examining the church of Laodicea, it is like looking in a mirror and seeing ourselves. The Laodicean church, in Revelation 3:14-22, strongly typifies the modern day churches of this country. Let’s take a brief look at this great city first. Laodicea was located on a very important trade route in Roman Asia Minor (modern day Turkey), and was thereby an

I'm now working at the Salvation Army Corps in Santa Maria. We'd just hired a group of kettle bell ringers for the holiday season. These persons will raise funds to be used throughout the coming year for food, meals, clothing and utility assistance for the needy. We also have a church service on Sunday mornings at 11:00am.

Facebook is cool. I just started using it regularly recently and I've found the viral nature to be inherently refreshing. I hope more people will come to this blog, through facebook. Here in this blog I desire express thoughts about life experiences, that I hope will be more meaningful to my readers.

Today I was working in San Luis Obispo and happened to hear and see a young man calling out for someone to smile at him. He was homeless and spiritually lost. I asked him his name and he said it was tattooed on his face. I noticed the tattoo read "Bull Shit". I asked him why he felt that way and he began to tell about being "on his own" of his home in New Orleans when he was sixteen and he's

I was talking to a fellow brother today, who stated that he had "the father/son talk" to his 18 year old son who was about to graduate from high school. He stated that you must let your son know who's boss. I told him that I disagree with his conclusion and I told him that all children aren't the same. Some children are rebellious and some are compliant. I told him that one child may be ready

I just watched the lifehouse everything skit and I was almost in tears. To think about how much the Lord loves us, inspite of our wrong use of the free will he created in us. This skit is very moving and gives a graphic meaning to the Lord's words about his love for us.

In The Lord's Prayer, we are told to thank God for our daily bread. We are told by many we should have faith in God for our needs. However, I see and hear the same persons making these statements fretting over whether or not someone has a job. Why is this double standard? Back in the early 1980's I remember talking to a co-worker who was extremely devoted to putting away money for his

How is our new President Obama doing? Is he leading our nation to a greater since of fairness between the races or leveling the economic playing field? Many people I ask this question say give him time, he's just started. But when do you make a judgment call on a new President? Six months, 1 year or 2 years into his adminsitration? There has been a lot of money being given out, how many

Today I was reflecting on one of my mentors, who was also my favorite uncle. He was crippled by spinal meningitis at 8 years old. He never had the joys of youth most of us remember, like running through a park or at school or swimming at the public pools. He was always in the house, too weak to do anything. He had no formal schooling, girl friends, wife or children. But he was the most helpful

I observed the following to be true many years ago when I starting my career. I noticed that the women managers, in the companies I worked for, searched more widely and tactfully for solutions to workplace issues than men. Also, there was more sign-on by the fellow employees, to the implementation process following descisions of women managers. This article puts into words many of the ideas I

The current discussions about bail-outs in this country miss the moving target citizens in a big way. The lastest Obama solution for mortgages in default miss the point. He declares that it will help "responsible homeowners" stay in their homes. One day you have a job, the next day you're laid-off or downsized. You were already living paycheck to paycheck. These homeowners qualified for their

Kingdom living, as opposed to reaching salvation and stopping our Christian growth, has been a theme I've been hearing lately. Our leaders are teaching this approach but the ball must be picked up by the mature Christians to be more successful in sharing His light with love and good works. If not, how can we shine it in baby Christians' face with the complaint that we wish they'd stop squinting
