John Edwards ... Yousa liar

A greedy man brings trouble to his family ... -Proverbs 15:27 NIV

I bet from the title it would seem that I am judging right? I'm not ... okay, I'm lying. I am just a little bit. In truth my judgement hardly means much though. It's God's judgment that matters in the end. There are many questions that this situation stirs up though and none of which I have the answers to. Nevertheless, this situation paints a picture of the type of screwed up society we are living in where family values take a back seat to selfishness, IMHO.

We are greedy people. John Edwards' actions exponentially demonstrate his selfish greed. On the flip side, The National Enquire demonstrated its voracious greed in going after him as well as all other stars, and in turn its greed satisfies our (the public) want for more juicy, gossipy stories about those in the spotlight. Don't get me wrong; I think what John Edwards did is horrible. The adultery is obviously between God, him and his wife, but lying to the same people that he was seeking trust from is irresponsible and arrogant on his part. At least I now know why he disappeared after he dropped out of the race as well as why he did not endorse anyone. Was anyone else curious about that?

Here are just a few headlines for those that are living in a vacuum (it's okay if you are. It is actually better that way):

John Edwards love-baby story at the tipping point; this too is a ...

I hardly need to go into details about the whole John Edwards lying thing because there are so many news articles and blog post about it right now that all you have to do is run a quick search. The lesson for everyday folk like you and me is too stay humble and know that God provides.

He who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in the Lord shall be enriched and blessed. -Proverbs 28:25 Amplified

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity.
