Your Perception Is Distorted?!

So, what if it is true that your perception is tainted by fantasy rather than rooted in reality? Wouldn't you want to know so that you are not wasting your time on foolish pursuits if it were so? I would, given a reliable source of proof.

Would you rather live your days believing what you wish was true or what someone else has convinced you were true rather than what makes sense based on what wisdom suggests?

Are you able to trust your sources for what you believe, or are they based on the beliefs of someone else? Or, even more concerning, are your beliefs based on what is convenient or attractive to you at any given moment?

There are so many opinions being expressed concerning local, national, and world events and of course there are just as many divergent views on said happenings. One can get lost without a proverbial compass. That being said, herein I offer a soft place to land with wisdom that will never die. Of course, said wisdom is not from me, but from the author of all truth and life.

 

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all and without reproach, and it will be given him.” – James 1:5, ESV

“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding” – Proverbs 3:13, ESV

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap” – Galatians 6:7, ESV

“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” – Proverbs 13:20, ESV

“One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray” – Proverbs 12:26, ESV

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6, ESV

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.”- James 4:10, ESV

“And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” – Colossians 1:9, ESV

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” – Proverbs 12:15, ESV

“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’”- 1 Corinthians 15:33, ESV

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;” James 1:19, ESV

“So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding” – Romans 14:19, ESV

 

So, as we aim to keep our perceptions from the many ways that they can become distorted from reality, let Godly wisdom be our compass as we stay mindful of our attitudes toward others who may remain adrift in their delusions.

Being weak in the knees can be a good thing!

  I am willing to bet that everyone reading this blog has had the sensation of being weak in the knees at some point in their lives... or at the very least has known someone else who has had this experience. For one to be weak in the knees may not always be a pleasant experience. It could very well be a precursor to a serious medical incident related to the brain, heart, or at least, a symptom of a physical issue in one’s hips or legs. But it does not have to be! Now that we have the negative stuff out of the way, let’s explore some of the ways that being “weak in the knees” can be a good thing! Get ready, I bet you can guess where I’m going to go first… “love connections” (or more realistically – “infatuations”). So, picture this… you see someone across a crowded room, your eyes meet, you smile at each other simultaneously, get weak in the knees (yes, both of you), and the rest is history. Of course, you are both single at the time and you’ve likely seen some version of th...

Charlie Kirk Haters Need to Repent!

  “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.” (James 3:1-3 ESV) The world is made up of all kinds of people. We have all likely said or done something in our lives that we later regretted, sometimes even immediately after we said or did the hurtful, hateful, or even just thoughtless deed. I may be referring just to those who have at the very least, a set of general personal guidelines as to how to relate to others in a positive manner, if not those of us who have a moral compass that is set to the standard that God established for us.  Because some people sadly do or say anything they want to regardless of whom it hurts. It is sad that there are many selfish,...

Our Nation Is Truly At A Turning Point!!

It is very evident that there are people in this world who are desperate for common sense to prevail in the hearts and minds of Americans. There is also evidence to suggest that there are people who would rather support false realities, hatred of the truth, and their own selfish pursuits. It is normal for people to have differences in opinions and want to express their opinions, as they should be able to. After all the very first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America is “Freedom of Speech”. This means that people are supposed to be free to say what they want to without fear of retaliation. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was invited to a college campus in Utah to share his opinions and to also offer the opportunity for others to share their opinions on many matters of interest to all Americans. This is something this 31-year-old, who was wise beyond his years, did on a regular basis not only on college campuses, but in high schools as well. His desire ...
