How to Tackle These Kinds of Choices
Unfortunately, there’s no perfect algorithm for making these kinds of decisions. If they were, then choosing would be routine, instead of hard.
In these cases, it’s often best to use a few different methods and see which choices they suggest. If you get agreement among different methods, that’s evidence that one side is the better choice (given the information available).
Let’s look at a few of those methods:
1. Find a model. Formalize the decision.
The first method is to explicitly use reason in your decision-making process. This is of ... read more Do not just be a crowd pleaser! Learn something 4 y
Learn to change you thinking, your thoughts and how to change your brain for the better! The act of going and learning something new is changing your brain and changing the way you process things, which will change the way you actually see the world
Do not just be a crowd pleaser!
“If you learn something, and you learn it well, your brain changes.”
The act of going about and learning something new can change your brain and thus change the way you process things, which will change the way you actually, see the world in a more improved way!
The problem many people have is they get tangled up in the ” Popular and Trending ” things of the world and seldom learn how to use their God Given Intelligence!

God’s Choice

Luke 2:37, ’And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers night and day.’
LUKE 2:36-40
Let’s suppose that Anna was fourteen years old when she married. She would have been 105 years old. Yet she was still fasting and praying night and day! Satan tries to convince us that God won’t use us. He may cite things like age or lack of abilities, or failures that we’ve had. But just like Anna, there are many scriptural examples of the Lord using those who would be considered u ... read more Guided by an angel! 4 y

Sikh Hindu Saved From Suicide After Meeting Jesus - Ruth Levi
Published on Dec 31, 2019
Formerly a Sikh-Hindu, Ruth began suffering from demonic torment so severe that she was about to take her own life. Instead, she called out to Jesus and was instantly set free. Eager to learn more about her savior, Ruth was then introduced to Charis Walsall, not through a friend or advertisement, but through what can only be described as an angel.

What was the first of the Seven Laws of Success? Set the right goal!
Jesus clearly established the highest-priority goal for His disciples in this verse. He did this because He knows that the main goal, our highest priority, determines the preparations, efforts, and zeal for reaching it.

On 27 August 1883, the Earth let out a noise louder than any it has made since.

The problem is not that we don't have faith. The problem occurs when we don't allow our faith to work because we don't keep our minds stayed on God's Word.

Luke 1:45, ’And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.’
LUKE 1:39-56
There are many reasons why God’s blessings don’t always come to pass in a person’s life, but the most frequent cause is simply unbelief on our part. There are no limitations on God’s part. He is willing and able to do anything He has promised. The problem is with our believing.

Why We Are a Republic, Not a Democracy
Hillary Clinton blamed the Electoral College for her stunning defeat in the 2016 presidential election in her latest memoirs, “What Happened.”
Some have claimed that the Electoral College is one of the most dangerous institutions in American politics.
Why? They say the Electoral College system, as opposed to a simple majority vote, distorts the one-person, one-vote principle of democracy because electoral votes are not distributed according to the population.

** Here is one of the most meaningful songs about life that I have ever heard! ** May you never take one single breath for granted (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along

Lee Ann Womack Lyrics
”I Hope You Dance”
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in ... read more Genealogies of Christ 4 y

Even the genealogies are inspired by God and profitable (2 Tim. 3:16). Matthew traces Jesus’ genealogy through Joseph back to Solomon. However, there was a curse placed on one of Solomon’s sons named Jechonias (Jer. 22:24-30), which Jesus avoided by being born of a virgin.

Time marches on, or does it?
