He who looks will not see it;
He who listens will not hear it;

I often hear or even read about people mentioning they are God fearing. I always cringe when I hear that term because it just doe not make any sense.
What’s funny is that those same people who say they’re God fearing, also love God. The part that does not make sense is how can [...]

I’m not sure if you have seen the movie Avatar. If you have not, I truly recommend it. The computer graphics if out of this world, specially when you see it in 3D. The story is pretty good as well, if you can see beyond the visual effects and really get into it.
Some people, I’m [...]
In thinking on what to write the other day, intuition immediately jumped out at me. This is the process I go by when I do the post, by the way. I ask myself what to write next and whatever jumps out, wins.
Anyway, back to developing intuition. I want to first differentiate between knowing and knowledge. [...]
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of all the finger pointing that goes on in our society today. Sure, there is plenty of blame that can go around, but when will somebody take responsibility?
