Micro Loan
Financial literacy is direly needed globally. Micro financing needs are needed in poor areas of the world not only for entrepreneurs who could use micro loans, but to others for banking and insurance purposes such as health insurance. Here is a link to one of many such programs: http://www.kiva.org/.
Read MoreThoughts on the Presidency
It appears to me that more and more people are now recognizing that President Obama is incompetent. The major parts, though not all, of his lack of fitness for the Presidency are his liberal ideology and absence of any credible understanding of the American economy—its engine, private enterprise, business and entrepreneurial spirit. He distrusts businesses…

The key to moving toward Heaven on Earth from the Innovation Age is human enhancement—especially the spread of the wisdom-associated values—and the shunning of the negative values, as enumerated by Copthorne MacDonald in his essay in my book, “How to Achieve a Heaven on Earth.” In his essay, MacDonald explained that wisdom could be taught. I believe…
Read MoreA Blessed Thankgiving
I have been reading a captivating book, “The Business Solution to Poverty,” by Paul Polak and Mal Warwick. It’s about helping the 2.7 billion people on our planet who exist with less than $2.00 per day (included in that number are about one billion people who exist on less than $1.00 per day). Here in…

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…

The key to a heaven on earth lies with us and God – and I believe both humankind and certainly God are up to that enormous journey through the Innovation Age to the Spiritual Age – Heaven on Earth. With humankind, it is incumbent on all to teach, practice and live by the wisdom-associated values while…
Read MoreThe Bloated Federal Government
We have a bloated Federal Government. Believe me and a host of others. I spent twenty years as a federal employee and I believe a reduction in Force (RIF) could be done in a kind way like good citizen corporations operate when they need to terminate people. It should work like this – hire independent…
Read MoreSelf-reliance is key to our goal of Heaven on Earth!
“I will try to love and help create a Heaven on Earth.” With God’s enduring, steadfast love we can do it. But I worry about trusting government too much rather than self-reliance. After World War II, too many people in the Western world assumed that governments could solve our problems. Some leaders, such as President Reagan…

I am doing a series on Facebook on the ten elements of Heaven on Earth. If you follow my blog, I believe you will really enjoy this series. Follow this link to my Facebook page, and be sure to “like” it!
Read MoreThe Wonder of Reading
I am now taking great pleasure in reading Charles Krauthammer’s new book, “Things That Matter.” The title of the book is quite apt. I’m just at the beginning and it’s so interesting and human that I relish my reading. I’m also studying this work–as a writer–because it is a wonderful example of the art of…
