addiction

If I drank, i'd be an alcoholic. If I smoked, i'd look like a chimney. if I were weaker in spirit and enjoyed sex a little too much i'd be a whore. If I indulged in any illicit drugs i'd od on heroin, coke or crack. But since my weakness is the Most High I will overdose on Jesus!

random thought

How patient is a person supposed to be when it comes to the lack of self control exhibited by another person, in particular, someone that you love?

Do you badger the loved one until they get it, do you leave them alone, do you pray them through it, what do you do? I know someone that has an addiction, it's not a harsh one but an addiction nonetheless, and I just wonder how their loved ones are dealing with it.

I can lend all kinds of advice, words of wisdom and prayers but ultimately the decision is theirs as to how they get through it. Hmmm, I suppose I'll just keep praying for them and be that shoulder to lean on or give the hugs when needed.

promo

In this economy, that thankfully is finally turning around, it is still dificult to get employment. But for those of us that are employed, are we wlling to take risks and if so, how much of one? My employer has a position open and I've decided to throw my hat in the ring for it. Now realistically my chances of getting it are slim because of how the company operates, it's very politically connected, but I figure the worst they can tell me is no. I'm no stranger to the word "no" so they won't hurt my feelings and I have nothing to lose because even if they say "no" they will know that I'm serious about progression.

However, they should know that I'm serious because I went for and got a promotion a year ago. I do like what I do and the people I work with but why stifle myself when I have the talent, skills and gumption to go to the next level of me. I went for the previous upswing to hone my skills and experience and if they say no I'll keep working until they say yes or an opportunity arises to move on.

So if a promotion comes up, go for it, don't be afraid to hear the word"no" and if you do hear it keep working on improving yourself until they can't help but say yes.

Peace and blessings!

Byron Cage - If You Never

By Yourself

Since i've been back on public transportation the last couple of days i've realized that most people on there want to be by themselves.

I'll admit i am spoiled because my current place of employment is fairly close and i park for free, however, i am not new to riding a bus. Before i bought my first car and since i bought it i have ridden on public trans and a lot of times it's crowded and funky and loud and most unpleasant but cheap and sitting or standing close to someone is the price you pay for cheap, yet dependable transportation.

So if you want to be by yourself i suggest you drive, ride a bycicle or walk to your destination. If none of those are viable solutions then plug your ears with your favorite music or pull out your favorite book and it'll be just like you are by yourself.

Enjoy the ride, peace and blessings!
