Well, I have been avoiding writing anymore until I finish this thought on contentment.  That has caused me to not write at all.  Now I will finish up my thoughts on contentment, so that I may write about more things in my life.  Never again, in the near future, will I start a series that [...]

With all the discussion in Goshen lately about the ordinance to extend what is considered as a civil right as covered by the constitution.  When questions like this come up, then it is time for me to search to make sure what I believe is based on the values that I claim as a Christian.  [...]

First of all a refresher on what contentment is: “happiness with one’s situation in life”.  Do you know anyone who is content with money?  It is not that they have everything or too much money that they are content, but that they have enough.

Sharing 101
Are you like me and buy almost anything you need.  Now I have 30 tools you used once every two to three years and they are tools that I know other people around me have.  Why not network with neighbors, family, and friends and borrow items that you do not use that often?  Why [...]
