The Answer To The Smog Problem
What is the answer to the so called environmental problem? How about paying more fees when you smog your car, of paying more fees to drive your car, maybe more gasoline taxes might help, or more stimulus money. Maybe higher electric bills, higher gas bills, fines for using to little water or maybe fines for using diapers. Have you ever notice how the answer to the environmental problem is more money out of your pocket. It's like there is this scream about the enviorment and it has a long arm that desires to dig into your pockets.
Well we can land on the moon, soar the solar system, destroy complete cities with bombs, invent great ideas, built entire cities and when you think about it we could also invent, design and put into place huge air filter systems within our communities that would filter the air. In fact, the amount of money spent on the Iraq war would probably have provided the funds to build a clean air system to filter and clean the air for an entire city like Chicago.
My point being, is that where there is a will, there is a way. Just like landing on the moon and our space programs.

Who Started The First Blog
I've often wondered who started the 1st blog? Where did the concept come from and what did it look like on it's maiden voyage. Blogs have so changed over the years and they are constantly changing. Yet where did it all start at? Any thoughts and I'd love to hear your comments on the matter.
Blogging is fun, great mental exercise and the best part is when the spell check works. :)

Cookies, Milk, Cartoons & Chocolate Sundays
Dad, Dad, can we have cookies and milk and watch a cartoon? Oh come on dad, please? Fifteen minutes later, Dad, Dad, can I have ice cream and watch some more cartoons? Oh, please Dad. Ten minutes later, Dad, Dad, can I have some smarties? Please, please! please! dad!
Have you ever been there? If you have children, I bet you have. It's like where do they put it all? How is it possible to eat and eat and eat and still be skinny. Kid's eat and eat and eat. They also play, and play and play and run, and jump and play and run some more. I'm getting tired just thinking about it.
I don't know which is harder. Getting older or being a father. Both are definitely challenging at times. Well, I'm off, we are now having chocolate sundays with cherries (multiple) on top. I guess I should enjoy this, before long she will be asking for a new car.
It's fun to have fun with your kids, especially while they are young and exploring life.

We Reap The Things We Sow
Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them? Only to realize that you have been handed a continuous flow of deception and lies? It amazes me how some people use and abuse others basically to make up for their own miserable worthless lives. Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle. It's sad because their lives are filled with endless scars, headaches, and metal illnesses and the affects upon the children lead to emotional problems, anger management problems, guilt, shame, embarrassments, and they become disconnected from reality.
Know this, they do not go un noticed and while they think they have pulled the wool over the eye's of many, in time, they will be exposed. You see, those who cast evil and wickedness upon others in the end become ensnared in their own ways. Life becomes endlessly painful for them, they continue to encounter emotional, mental and even health problems that soon overtake them. It's really sad to see a life and the lives of others waste away and decay like that. It's a long, slow and very painful death, yet death is withheld from them.
There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Character, Maturity & Perspective
It takes character and maturity to put things into reality and perspective. Without such, it's like sailing without a sail and with no wind.
Keeping The Flame Burning
Sometimes we all seem to give up and quit just a tad too soon. It's like the sardines vs. the tuna. We plan our game plan, put things into motion and then right about the time it's time to set sail, we give in and quit. Sad. Other times we do all our homework, put our plans into motion and start bragging about our accomplishments before we win the race only to give up because something fell short of our desires. The reality is that success is staying the course and finishing what we set out to do.
Now who would want a bucket of sardines when you could have some huge nets filled with tuna? Imagine the captain of a ship setting sail for a big catch, for tons of tuna only to set anchor just outside the break water. Can you see the sea gulls feasting on the spoiled sardines? Many times that is exactly what we do. Rather than staying the course and sometimes even facing our fears, we throw in the towel.
There is more to writing sayings that pushing them or selling them to others. You must live them. Otherwise your flame burns out.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Words To Ponder
Sometimes life has it's challenges. In many ways life is like farming. There is a time for sowing and a time for reaping. Sometimes we must cultivate things in life, prepare for the seasons to come, plant our ideas, hopes, desires and water those very dreams. Sometimes we must be patient and allow the seeds to root, to grow and to produce a fruit bearing tree. Then with patience, with persistence and through persevering the seasons, we will reap a harvest and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
The key word is labors. It takes hard work and dedication to be successful. Another key word is seasons. For there is a season for everything.
Keep The River Flowing
Do you have a river inside of you? A river of joy, of creativity, of hope and filled with desires to accomplish great things? I believe that we all do. Let's keep the river flowing.
Stagnant waters are no fun.
