I don’t fear much in life. I have mentioned before that I have lived a very blessed life, and that is one reason I don’t have much fear. I also know that God is watching over me and is with me all the time. As a result I don’t tend to live in fear of…

Where I plan to ramble on things
What is Tolerance?
I want to spend some time today talking about the word tolerance. Over the years this word has changed meaning (to many people) in my opinion. According to the dictionary the word means: (Merriam-Webster) capacity to endure pain or hardship 2a: sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own…

When I was younger, I was someone that liked hanging out with others. I liked…
