Name

There is power in a name.  A name can impact you positively or negatively. No one is truly indifferent to their name.  They love it or they dislike it but everyone has some type of leaning for their name.  There is power in the name of a person because the person with the name matters.    If the person with the name didn't matter thein there would be little to no power in their name.  If this was ever the case this would shufy be a rare occurrence because even a person without a name wants to know their name because they want to have a sense of value. Not that the person is invaluable but that they feel power in the obtaining of a name.  The ability to identify and be identified is something intrinsic to our nature.  

So then what is the purpose of a nick name.  As a term of endearment or as a name of jest.  One should be careful, for if this name is not invited or approved of it can cause more trouble than it is worth because of the inherent power in a given name. Never underestimate this power by dawning a nick band upon someone who didn't ask for it nor wants it.   It can cause much turmoil with in that person and within you. 

Introduction

Jesus Christ is Lord.  I have always been told that often times if you open with that in a conversation it will either end abruptly, start an argument or spark a more favorable response from whoever has the pleasure of being on the receiving end.  I love the Lord and I love the saints.  However the purpose of the blog is to just convey general thoughts that I may have at an infrequent basis about various issues that may come across my mind.

Everything I say may not be agreeable to all.  That's ok.  It is not within me to please but to present a genuine and honest case for what I am feeling and what I am thinking.  That's all anyone really can do.  What comes out of it is what comes, however I earnestly believe that any thought conveyed as long as it is genuine will be received genuinely.

So let's start with a small list of things that I think before I go off on any sort of tangent.

1. A student sitting is a desk is not as productive as a student moving around.
2. A quiet classroom isn't always a good thing
3. Learning different languages in school is great but increasingly irrelevant with the rise of translation technology.
4. Yes I do believe in universal healthcare.  No I do not like the current bill for universal health care for the reason that I do not think it goes far enough.
5. Income Inequality is the biggest issue facing the future of the U.S.
6. Abortion is wrong.
7. I support the President Barak Obama of the United States without agreeing with everything he says or does.
8. Tattoos are awesome but I probably will never get one
9. A healthy body = a healthy mind (I love Crossfit)
10. LeBron James is my favorite NBA player and I am a heat fan for life (not a bandwagoner)

That pretty much sums it up.  Everyone has a different opinion and everyone is so complex in their view of the world.  Thats what makes people so amazing.  I look forward to the time I am inspired to write in more detail about a specific subject but until then, I am happy to end here.

Congrats Cleveland, I am so happy LeBron is going home.
