Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen. 

You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take.

Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions.

Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And Grow Rich.” This system mentions more scriptural concepts than does Think And Grow Rich and in many places actually quotes the scripture without giving where it is quoted.

My point here is that we need to study the Word of God and find all of the nuggets that God has placed in there for us. Including Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Consider also, II Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Another verse to reinforce this point is, Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart (mind) with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”


As we can clearly see, how we think, what we ponder on is incredibly important. Your thought life is where your life is headed. Be careful what you think about.

Purpose

You may not realize it, but our purpose can be found in our gifting. God put inside each of us skills and the desire to fulfill it.  When I was around 5 years of age I discovered how radio worked. At that time I was bitten by the radio bug. I discovered my purpose! When I arrived home that same day, I pulled out the record player, the 8 track tape player (yes, I’m that old) and a screw driver for a microphone. I was determined to have my own radio station (as a 5 year old). That day WNTC was born. A station that could only be heard in my bedroom, but that didn’t matter to me.  I had no idea that it would create a life long obsession! I was privileged to work for 30 years in the radio business. I was later put out to pasture permanently, or so I thought in December 2008. Then in early 2017, I had the privilege to start producing programs at WGTK and later was asked to report news. This came about after sitting in with Joey Hudson during his program “Upstate Live”, I was invited

Follow Your Dreams

All of us have a dream. When we were small children an adult would ask us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My generation would answer something like this, “I want to be a policeman, a fireman, an astronaut” I could name so many other career choices. If you are to ask kids from this current generation, you would receive a completely different set of answers. Some of the answers you would possibly get would be,   I want to be a You Tube celebrity, I want to be a blogger, I could continue with so many opportunities that didn’t exist 5 years ago. If a young person has a dream of achieving whatever they desire, the possibilities are fantastic with the advent of technology. The ability to work from anywhere using the internet makes so many things possible. As I mentioned earlier, you can post video to You Tube and it can be seen worldwide. A live radio broadcast can be produced from anywhere with an internet connection. Whatever dream you have, the possibilities of re
