Why You Shouldn’t Share Your Dreams with Others
I had lunch with someone close to me recently, and I was sharing dreams that had grown from ideas I have and projects I’m working on. I’m so excited! As much as I would like to have all of them going right now, it’s not even smart to try to do anything more right now….
Fasting is NOT a Diet Plan!
I told a couple people that I was fasting and their responses were, “I need to fast so I can lose weight” and “You look fine.” All I have to say to both of these people: Fasting is NOT a diet plan! Yes, you do lose weight when you fast but the purpose is to…

Question About Compliments
If someone gives you compliment but adds a sarcastic negative remark, is it still a compliment? I was told that I would reach my goal – it may take awhile – but I’ll get there. Was that extra stuff really necessary? Anyway, this person called himself being positive and encouraging, but there was always a…
Technology Makes People Cowards
Technology has definitely changed the way people communicate. Some people use it because it is faster and more convenient. Other people use it because they are cowards. I try to accommodate people’s communication preferences. Personally, I want people to call me. However, I have friends who live by text messaging; other people respond mainly through…
Fredrick Douglass: What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July
Fredrick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” He delivered it in 1852. Fellow Citizens: Pardon me, and allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I or those I represent to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom…
