Marriage and the Economy---Can’t Buy Me Love

Image
The other day I heard a report on the economy where the new jobs created numbers were being reported. Everyone was excited about the 162,000 jobs that had been created even though the unemployment rate had not dropped and the majority of the jobs being talked about were temporary and seasonal. The census helped 2010 in a temporary way. This news was very distributing to me. So distributing that I sat down and wrote a letter to President Obama, have not mailed yet but I did write it. The letter basically informs President Obama on the state of my America. As I wrote, all I could see was that middle class Americans like me and many others would never be the same. America was changing, not the President’s fault but changing still the same. My spirit was broken by what many couples have to face; so I started looking up statics to see how finances really impacted marriages. I also looked up these numbers for my own research because Marcus and I noticed that w...

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me!

August 29, of this year (2010), my queen and I will be married for twenty three years. As I look back on that day, I smile as I remember how my queen laughed as she told me that she could tell how nervous I was by the way I repeated my vows. She said as I spoke my vows my tone became louder and louder, this is how she came to the conclusion that I was nervous. I personally don’t believe that I was nervous at all. I was and remain the same today, confident and sure regarding the decision that I was making. I can honestly say that this statement is one of fact because I feel stronger and more assured today regarding my decision to marry…even more than I did on my wedding day. Thinking back I start to ponder my vows and how they have been tested and tried. What did we declare on that day before God and man? We declared to be together for richer or for poorer, for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, till death us do part. Funny but most of us only hear, receive and live half...

Common sense isn't common....

Image
Now, I am one who appreciates good old common sense. I am a thinking man/husband and the truth is so simple. Common sense isn't common. That is very true in society today. We like to complicate things. If something seems too simple, we think it can't possibly be effective. And the pure and simple truth is that nature has given us what we need to keep our bodies healthy and well. And to mutilate and destroy the body in any way under the guise of attempting to heal it makes no sense at all. I am not a practitioner or a scientist, but I am a creature of nature, and I have learned to live according to natural laws. First you have to decide to accept responsibility for your health and understand that you have the authority to choose what you are going to take into your life. So what are the things that are going to build your health? THE TWELVE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HEALTH: 1. The Human Mind is Ultimately the Most Important Building Block to Health and Well-being. We showed earlier, u...
