A Christian Humor Essay by Rev. James L. Snyder

Just when you think you have all of the idiots in the world organized and in their proper place, someone comes forth to challenge the number one position there might an epidemic of idiots in our world because there sure is a large amount and it seems to be growing every day.

They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and dispositions. There are political idiots, religious idiots, celebrity idiots and just plain downright stupid idiots. Of course, the stupid idiots have somehow crossbred with all the other idiots.

I am not exactly sure what category the person is that I am about to tell you about because he could fit into many categories. Recently a former senator from Nebraska (if you are from Nebraska you have my sympathy) announced that he was suing God. It really does not matter why he is doing God, I think it had something to do with terrorism in this world, but the fact that he is suing God for anything caught my attention.

Studies have shown that every one minute you spend planning saves you 10 minutes of execution.

Do you look at your office or home and feel totally overwhelmed by the clutter, piles, and stuff? Do you wonder where to start? Do you want to run out in terror?!

I know what it’s like to feel like your home or office is totally out of control instead of you being in control. I know that this feeling causes stress and anxiety. And, can make you a not very nice person to live or work with!

There’s hope. I work with overwhelmed people every day and help them get focused, organized, and productive in their home and office. But, you need a plan.

Building a home based business is like rebuilding a car that has not been driven for 65 years.

Wayne found a 1926 Star Coupe in a garage. Because this car had not been driven for 65 years, it had deteriorated immensely.    It took 20 years searching for replacement original parts, replacing rotten out wood frame work with new hard wood, carved and shaped for the roof structure.

Many hours of work has paid off, the 1926 car runs like it did 82 years ago when it was new! I know it takes time to build a home-based business. However, I also know it will not take 20 years to make a very good profit when you have the right tools. When you have the right system to follow.

The starter’s pistol has gone off, the rest of the field has taken off, and you’re still frozen in a kneeling position, head down and bracing for the race to begin. As your fellow competitors race to the finish line, you rise slowly and try to convince yourself that this race was not really for you. You console yourself by saying that the risks were too great and ask yourself such self-doubting questions as, “What if I had fallen?” or “What if I’d started and couldn’t finish?” and “Who was I kidding? I had no business even thinking about entering that race.”

Starting a business is very much like running a race: Preparation and practice are key success factors. The following 10 tips, framed in the context of getting physically prepared for a race, might help you overcome the hurdles that entrepreneurs are sure to encounter on the road to startup.

Almost every business start-up checklist that aspiring entrepreneurs will read, refers to “must know” information about legal issues, money management, sales, marketing and operations. In fact, success as an entrepreneur not only relies on your knowledge and effective execution of these fundamentals, but also requires a constant commitment to keep growing and gaining knowledge in these areas. Fortunately, there are many resources available for small businesses in the form of professional services or public agencies available to help us augment our own skills in these areas at affordable rates. As we busy ourselves getting on top of these business-technical skills to manage day-to-day operations, it doesn’t take long for us to realize that these skills, although essential, might not be enough to make your business start-up succeed.

Your child is special. There is no one just like him or like her in the whole world. Did you know that?

I hear that everyone has a twin somewhere. There may be someone who looks a lot like us, but we each have our own DNA and personality. It’s just a little bit of difference that makes us unique. I’m still amazed that of all the people in the world that have come and gone that are and will come, no one is just like my daughter and no one matches my son completely. And it’s their uniqueness that makes them so special.

We all ooh and ah over our newborns and look upon them as pretty special. But it’s when they grow older, and caring for them has taken a toll on us that we are tempted to put them aside a little bit. On days when a strong willed three year old enforces his ‘no’ by throwing your vase at the wall, or a five year old begs you to read ‘The Cat in The Hat’ for the umpteenth time, you may begin to take their specialness for granted.

But this is exactly when they need your unwavering love and affirmation. Good thing God loves us in our trying moments. He lets us know He loves us and He builds us up with His Word: He affirms us.

 Interview with William P. Young [30:11m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1)

A few bloggers (including CWAHM’s Jill Hart) got together yesterday for a wonderful interview with William P. Young, author of the New York Times Bestseller, The Shack.

About the Book:
Mackenzie Allen Philips’ youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.

Against his better judgment he arrives as the shack on a wintry afternoon and walk back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever.

In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant The Shack wrestles with the timeless question, Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain? The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book.
