Imagine a World without Death
I recently read a book about the whole process and history leading up to and including death. I’ve written that as we move from The Innovation Age to The Spiritual Age, somehow, someway, God will eliminate death. This book has not changed my mind. But I will readily write that I don’t have God’s timeline. …
Read MoreContemplating Our Purpose in Life
Our purpose is first to take care of ourselves in mind, body and “little piece of God.” If we don’t do that, we can’t help our families, others and God. This requires self-discipline and the mutual respect between others and ourselves. The realities of life can range from joy to sorrow and from triumphs to…
Read MoreGetting Personal
Spiritual and intellectual public service and charitable types of achievements are so important to me. I would like a third wife to accompany me in the great adventure I see ahead for me, but that, of course, is up to her partly and God. I put myself in the arms of our Loving God and…
Read MoreEach Life is Precious: Let us travel together toward heaven on earth!
If the United States is to be successful domestically, we must think globally and at the same time have a deep realization that we are in The Innovation Age. It is up to us – humankind – with God’s enduring, steadfast love, to reach for the ultimate destiny – Heaven on Earth. To illustrate how global…
Read MoreNavigating toward the Wisdom-Associated Values and away from the Negative Values
We either navigate the Innovation Age with the wisdom-associated values while learning to shun the negative values or America and the world are going to suffer greatly. At least in America, we still have a stable and robust democracy (while not prosperous) and, as Abraham Lincoln stated, “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” There…
Read MorePondering Our Place on God’s Green Earth
A few months ago I attended a men’s retreat through my church. Here is what I wrote one morning: I’m sitting by myself gazing at the calm, peaceful, serene waters affronting part of the family compound. The grounds are beautiful and the birds – in this early morning – are chirping away, as if claiming…
Read MoreMotivation!
The future is all we have ahead of us. We must take care that our young people receive balanced and factual educations. Let me give you an example of the some of the text that I read in my American Government class textbook. It calls – in equal fashion – for equal opportunities and equal…
Read MoreTeaching Wisdom
It’s important for the future of our nation and the world that we educate our young in a neutral way so that as they mature they can become wise, capable and honest voters; and, in the process, elect leaders with those essential qualities. Values are so necessary in the cultivation of the mind, body and…
Read MoreGratitude
I wrote this blog just after I got home from Sunday school about a month ago. The teacher ended saying, “We ought to focus on God.” I disagree. Almighty God and God within all of us is just incomprehensible to all of us. But we can try, try, try to seek God’s calling(s) for us…
Read MoreThe View from Above
I was recently looking at a beautiful sight from my plane—puffy white clouds down below extending all the way to the horizon—an inspiring gift from God. Above the horizon the sky is clear and blue. From here it is breathtaking and striking, and yet from below it must be overcast and gray. Perhaps that’s the…
