Smallish post 7

I believe that one of the few things that we get to take with us when we die are relationships that we create while we are here.  For most people, we create a good part of our relationships at work.  I have made friends and acquaintances at work and those can be the hardest relationships to keep positive.  It can be hard work sometimes.  Sometimes with a coworker there are conflicting feelings and opinions and it takes charity to still be keep a good and professional relationship with them.  But charity is key.  Having charity allows there to still be good feelings between us.  Another key is forgiveness.  Forgiving others and asking for forgiveness allows a relationship to stay strong and to grow and is the application of charity.  With charity comes forgiveness.  Striving for charity in every relationship will have eternal returns.

Position Vlog

One scripture that I think about frequently says that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.  It is a much of a caution as it is a promise.  Things that can appear insignificant can have a major impact on our lives.  Addiction starts this way.  It may start as something small and simple, but it can grow to become an evil and destructive habit.  As a husband and father, much of my time is devoted to those responsibilities.  Taking care of my wife and son are worthwhile and fulfilling activities that bring the most happiness to my life.  I have to be very careful with my time so that I can fulfill my responsibilities.  The internet seems to be that consistent temptation that wants to eat up my time.  I have to be on constant guard to prevent it from overtaking my life.  The social sites and online video games can consume a life.  And it can start with something small and simple.
