GET BACK UP! GO BACK TO CHURCH!



As Christians, we can have a good stretch of everything is going well with our daily walk, and then we hit a bump in the road. we do something that we deeply regret, and we suddenly feel guilty and unworthy. We ask ourselves, how can we ever bounce back? This one bump in the road can change your life for the worse if you let it. It can lead to depression or anxiety, and it will lead to skipping church or quitting altogether. Just like riding a bike and falling, you have to get back up and move on. 

We are humans and we are not perfect so we are going to fail. The greatest inventions in history did happen without multiple failures. Sometimes, we must ask ourselves what we are trying to accomplish and if it's worth it. In the song The Gambler by the Late Kenny Rogers, it was said, "Know when to Hold Them know when to Fold them". Even in the most addictive and dangerous hobbies, you have to know when something is not working, and it's time to move on and try something new. 

When you have a bad day at work!

Go back the next day!


If you have a car accident

Take it slow but

Get back in the driver's seat


When you have a big argument with someone and feelings are hurt. accept the apology or say you're sorry and salvage the relationship.


When the whole week has been bad, and you don't think God is listening,

Pray and go to Church on Sunday


Corinthians 15:31 Paul said "I die Daily"

Paul used this phrase to express that he saw his life as a daily death to himself. He believed that he must die to himself, his rights, and his desire to be his own boss. He faced many persecutions and unimaginable suffering for the sake of the gospel.

As a Christian and churchgoer, it is heartbreaking to see someone quit church over church hurt. Something goes wrong, and your feelings get hurt. it is bad enough when they switch churches, but when they just totally give up on God, that is the worse thing anyone could do.

In 1st Samuel, David was anointed king, but some Bible scholars say that because of his trials and errors, he had to wait 20 years. But during those years, David never gave up on God; he pushed on until he became King of Israel.

Numbers 20 Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to it when he was frustrated with the Israelites and God did not allow him to go into the land of milk and honey but he still loved God.

DO NOT EVER GIVE UP ON GOD!

The Last Laugh

Image
It was the grand finale no one wanted. For over a century, Brightworld Amusement Park had been the crown jewel of summer. Generations had grown up beneath its ferris wheel, and entire romances were born in the glow of the Tilt-A-Whirl’s flashing lights. But in the last decade, something changed. Every year, the lines got longer — not because of the rides, but because of the complaints. The cotton candy was “too sugary.” The roller coaster was “too scary.” The carousel horses were “too unrealistic.” Even the fireworks were “too loud,” though no one could agree on whether that was a good or bad thing. Management tried everything. Softer fireworks. Adjustable-speed roller coasters. A “non-spinning” Tilt-A-Whirl that didn’t whirl at all. Still, the complaints poured in, faster than tickets could be sold. Finally, one gray September morning, the owner, Mr. Lawson, unlocked the front gate for the last time. The rides were silent, their bright colors dulled by dust. A handful of curious local...

June 30th: A Historic Day For Cleveland Sports

Image
June 30, 2025, will go down as one of the most unforgettable days in Cleveland sports history. It wasn’t about a game-winning shot or a dramatic comeback—it was about the future. On this one day, two major announcements changed the trajectory of Cleveland sports for generations to come. The WNBA Returns to Cleveland After more than two decades away, professional women’s basketball is coming back to Cleveland.

Reflections on Retirement: Five Months In

Image
On January 1st, I retired from work. Now, halfway through my fifth month, I find myself wondering if I made the right decision. My original plan was to pick up a part-time job—something low-paying so it wouldn’t impact my Social Security benefits. But life had other plans. Shortly after retiring, my mother fell ill. It took me three long, stressful months to get her placed in a nursing home. I didn’t have Power of Attorney, so I had to involve Adult Protective Services (APS). The process was messy and emotionally draining. My anxiety was through the roof. (I’ll share more about that in another blog post.) These days, I spend more time reading the Bible and getting involved in church activities, which helps keep me grounded. Still, being home alone can stir up anxiety and stress, especially when your mind drifts to all the problems waiting to be solved. Thankfully, I’ve found a few escapes. I make good use of my Cedar Point and Kalahari season passes, often enjoying them with family. I’...
