39. Relationships: How Do We End Up Doing Satan’s Work for Him?
Even though we don’t know it, half the times in life, even in our own families, we do Satan’s work for him. More than just making our family listen to the Black Eyed Peas, getting cell phone service on AT&T or changing the channel to Full House. I’ll explain it this way… life is like [...]
May 1st, 201237. Relationships: What Do I Do When I Have To Say Something That Might Hurt?
You ever have to face a situation where you might have to hurt someone’s feelings, but it’s something that you have to do? And I’m not talking about telling someone to shut up while you’re trying to watch a movie in a theater. That’s not right. Just ask the manager to kick them out. I’m [...]
April 24th, 201236. Relationships: When a Relationship Ends. What do I do, or what can I tell someone who’s going through it?
One of the worst things to happen in a relationship is when it comes to an end. Either that or when your wife ask you to go along to go to shopping for clothes. Not sure which one is worse. In one case you want to cry yourself to sleep. In the other case you [...]
April 20th, 201235. Relationships: What Do I Do When Things Aren’t Going Well?
Have you ever gotten so sick of someone close to you that you just wanted to scream? Now I’m not talking about getting sick of your proctologist. I’m talking someone close in a different way, in a relationship way. We see siblings who never talk to each other, kids who won’t talk to their parents [...]
April 17th, 201234. Relationships: How Should I See Myself in Relation to Others?
This series has been on relationships because a lot of times we overlook the people closest to us. Kinda like how I just spent time going to store to buy bacon just to find out I had some in my pocket the whole time. Previously I talked about we’re supposed to help others manage their [...]
April 12th, 201233. Relationships: Where Do I Fit In?
In the last devotional I talked about the importance of finding your role in your relationships. I also talked about bacon. Now I will expand on how to understand your role. Your role in relationships. Not your role with bacon. But, that would make an awesome devotional though. So we left off with, “What [...]
April 10th, 201232. Relationships: What’s the Purpose of a Relationship? (Or, Why are these kids wearing bacon suits?)
If we are to have good relationships, we need to first understand the purpose of them. It would be like trying to try to understand how to have good bacon, without understanding its purpose. It is used for clothing? For hair styling? For skin care? As an antiperspirant? Or as food? Or as well all [...]
April 6th, 201231. Relationships: Why Are Relationships So Difficult?
If there’s one thing about relationships that we all understand, from family relationships to friendships to marriages, is that relationships are difficult. But why are they so hard? And no, it’s not just their fault. Well, in my case it probably is their fault due to their jealousy of my wisdom and good looks. But [...]
April 4th, 201230. Relationships: People Are Disappointing, So What Do We Do?
I’ve said it before… ministry starts with relationships. And since people aren’t as perfect (or as humble) as I am, there’s a lot to consider. One constant in life is that people are disappointing. People don’t live up to our expectations of behavior. Of course our expectations of behavior are probably messed up – but [...]
March 30th, 2012How Do I Lead Effectively?
Everyone at one point ends up being a leader in some form. It could be in a formal setting like a boss, but many times it could be with friends or family. In my case, I lead my family, Decapolis, and a group that boycotts any product that uses that stupid Train “Hey Soul [...]
