So where are you? There's arguments that go back and fourth about who you are to be. Today I want you to think about where your roots are. It's been said you can't have roots and wings. That you need to choose to understand who you are. Do you want the freedom of flight or the stability of roots. Well even birds have to land. Find a place of resting. Even birds know from where the come.

The concept of working hard or doing something that is noble and not being noticed. And sometimes as you do it, it becomes a weight. Just like the back up singer, blury in the background. but that's not true.

If you go out to a toy store. You walk down the isles. You're going to see a number of toys. All kinds of different toys that provoke interest and ideas of children. But there will be a few isles that will be familiar to your life. Just smaller and made out of plastic. You'll see little ovens, lawnmowers, little tool chests. And do you know why? Because the way children begin their lives is immitation.

A Study says that it found the wealthy motivated by greed are more likely to be unethical including liying and cheating. Those findings led to a series of experiments. More information revealed because of the abundance of financial resources. Rich people live in a more insular world. With less need for social bonds for survival. When you think you can buy what you need. You don't focus on the skills that it takes to obtain that in everyday life.

When you hear the term ambassador. What do you think of? Probably politics and government. But did you know thar if you're a believer. That you are called to be an ambassador of mine.

It's not what you have in life. But how you obtained it that matters to GOD. Sadly it seems that more and more parents want their kids to have anything and everything. Even at the expence of others and the emotional expence of their very own children. And when that becomes the focus. When it's just about giving something to your child. Obtaining that something rather than the proper process of obtaining it.There's going to be a problem.

I bet you've herd the phrase There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. There is nothing in life that is truly free. Everything worth while comes at a price. You may not always be the one paying. But I assure you someone is always making the payment.

It's officially summer. And you like many millions of others. Maybe scrambling around to become physically fit. Whether it's diet or working out. Looking and feeling good physically is certainly important to God. But it's not the only thing God want's to be healthy in your life.

So today is Fathers Day. How appropriate to talk about my foster father Joseph. Now you probably think of him as a carpenter. But have you ever thought of him as a action hero? When you hear acton hero you think of The Avengers. But I want you to think about the word that comes before hero. The word action.

June is a busy month. It's filled with great celebrations of scholastic graduations and achievements. Moving on and moving up is imperative to growth. Life is a progression life is a process. Graduations are a public acknowledgement that you're moving from the past to the future.

With Memorial Day summer is just around the corner. Many of you are planning on taking time off. Some time away from work and that's a good thing. Knowing when you need that rest and taking it is part of being good and healthy.

Do you hear people talking about you sometimes? Or if they describe you what would they say? Do you think they would say you're reliable? Have you ever heard that's just the way they are? They've given in to the fact that you're unreliable, inconncistant, and your wore dosen't always mean anything.

Even though not everyone had an ideal mother or father. On Mothers Day we look at celebrating the traits of godly motherhood.

Blaming on people the things that go on in life never solves anything. Accountability, unity, integrity. Those are the building blocks of real solutions rael change in your life and beyond. Unfortunely if you turn on the news or talk radio whatever it might be. Anything that is a source of information. All you hear is people blaming one another. Gonig back and forth pointing fingers and saying it's their fault it's what they've done that has caused problems. Everyone is blaming one another and no one will have self accountability. Looking around and saying what part do I play in this whole thing is not the norm.

When things get tough in your life you might find yourself swollwed up by these problems. And you may not have the first clue on how to solve them. There's always going to be a list of things that need to be fixed or tended to. The thing about problems is they never have an ending. Not in the way you might hope or think.

The eggs the choclatte and all these things are fun and should be. And you should be able to enjoy them. But maybe you would like to know and think about the true meaning of Easter.

Palm Sunday is the mark of the entrance into Jerusalem. And everyone was excited at the arrival. So where was the false expectations. It started with deep faith and conviction. The attituds of those that were there and witness this. Were such that the animal rode in on. They didn't want the bottom of its hoofs to touch the ground. They laied the palm fronds down. That's where you get Palm Sunday. It's often called the triumphal entry. But this changes one week later.

Some things in life change and some things don't seem to ever change. No matter how long it's been. Certain thing seem to stay the same. 2000 years ago the term tax collector was a pajortive of sorts. Almost a dirty word synomous with sinner. And if asked around today what people thought about the tax collector they would think the same. As tax day approaches. I'm sure you're not pleased or thinking happy thoughts handing your hard earned money to the government. But how do you think God feels about taxes.

There is much that can distract you in life. Always something in your view. But nothing should ever take your eyes from me. Paul in Romans 8:35 wrote "Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ". The way he says it and puts it to paper is that nothing can. That is the answer.
