Creating a positive environment, not a negative one, is the only way to return the positive results I’m sure we all seek. We need to be willing to watch the way we view the world, to watch the way we speak and interact with the world in which we live. Negativity destroys our ability to view the world Ashley Goodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08129124895947478204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279637822338468234.post-61972826182801983162012-01-22T13:47:00.000-08:002012-01-30T20:46:56.077-08:00The green thingThe modern version of “green” is so tame.

What would Jesus really do?It was not Jesus intention to abolish religion. Jesus did deal with wrong motives in the hearts of hypocritical people. For example he taught, don't pray just to be seen, or in Luke 11:42 he said it IS right to tithe but not without neglecting justice and love....In Matthew 5:17 He says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets.

The man said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? I have kept the commandments since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” - Mark 10:17, 20-21.There is a Ashley Goodehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08129124895947478204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5279637822338468234.post-88059155847929527492011-11-25T02:29:00.000-08:002011-12-15T17:27:25.879-08:00Aim for the StarsI once heard a statement I’ve never forgotten and always attempted to live by, Aim for the stars hit the treetops aim for the treetops hit the ground.

The question has been asked, "If a tree were to fall in a forest and no one was there to hear it fall, would there be any sound?" Many people believe the answer to that question to be No, because it's only when the sound waves it creates collide with an ear drum that it produces the sound we hear.

When something goes wrong, he would ask “why?” five times. By asking why, over and over, you eventually get to the root cause. This can also apply to our lives.
