Think About It: December 2011
http://chrisbeltramithinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. 100 – DECEMBER 2011. The movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit has a particular scene in which Roger Rabbit runs across a room that is lit by a hanging lamp. The production question arose as to whether or not Roger should bump the lamp as he sped from one side to the other. One thought was that, at multiple frames per second, it would cause incredibly difficult light and shadow change for the artists AND that it would not make any difference to the story line NOR to the viewer. Jesus f...

Think About It: May 2011
http://chrisbeltramithinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 12, 2011. 093 – MAY 2011. It’s tough out there. There’s a lot of stuff in the air. World stuff. U.S. stuff. Economy stuff. Health, money, and relationship stuff. Family stuff. Stuff stuff. Life problems can sometimes overwhelm us. Issues of defeat and worry can put a cloud over our spirit and , if we don’t guard our hearts, could elbow us into a bit of depression. Difficulties can cause our hope to spring a leak … or take a long vacation. Solomon (the wisest person ever! In a TV episode of ...

Think About It: THE GOATS, THE FROG, AND THE PEACOCK
http://chrisbeltramithinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-goats-frog-and-peacock.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. THE GOATS, THE FROG, AND THE PEACOCK. 110 – OCTOBER 2012. THE GOATS, THE FROG, AND THE PEACOCK. Two little goats needed to get home. As they prepared to take the shortcut through Jockey Hollow, the farmyard frog jumped into view. He let out a loud croak and, with his unpretentious red-neck jargon, he cautioned the little goats;. 8220;Why, kids, I’m a thinkin’ that ya might take the long way this time. Just last nite I was a hearing a wolf down in that there holla. Zechariah 8:16...

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. 105 – MAY 2012. I was overwhelmed by all the bad news on TV and commented, “Without God, we are nothing but animals.”. To which, my friend replied, “That’s an insult to the animal kingdom.”. The animal kingdom is free from the horror stratum of human intelligence. No animal wants to be a politician in order to pontificate their invaluable opinions. None have a desire to amass territory and rule the world. What the heck happened? She meows and purrs and naps a lot. She seems rathe...

Think About It: November 2012
http://chrisbeltramithinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. 109 – SEPTEMBER 2012. 8220;A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.”. I have noticed that of all the “things” we struggle for (wealth, power, recognition, and praise), we expend the most energy and emotion in a doggedness to be right. In the old TV series "Happy Days", the Fonz would experience anxiety when having to say that he was wrong. It was quite funny! 8220;Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles. All the while...

Think About It: November 2011

Wednesday, November 9, 2011. THANKFUL FOR MY WIFE. 99 – NOVEMBER 2011. The first “Think About It” was over 8 years ago … July of 2003. I write them mostly as a portion of legacy for my children and my grandchildren. How Papa’s brain works! The things he thinks about! I don’t give a lot of answers but simply offer matters to consider in their quest for some answers to a spiritual life. As I thought about this 100th TAI, I decided to share a few of the many reasons why I am thankful for my wife. 1 Peter 1:...

Think About It: October 2011

Wednesday, October 19, 2011. 098 – OCTOBER 2011. Just as a trigger sets a bullet into motion, we have triggers that set our minds into a motion of thought. My granddaughter, Willow, and I went into a contract to always pick up a penny that was on the street. I gave her a bank with a challenge to see who could pick up the most pennies. It’s pretty cool. I like it. Why settle for only the reminders that are spontaneous and unexpected? They purposely set a visual as a prompt to remember … and not forg...

Think About It: August 2011

Thursday, August 25, 2011. THE PLANK IN YOUR EYE. 096– AUGUST 2011. I am very aware of the urge to cast judgments. That cerebral ego action satisfies my fleshy flesh, however … to not judge others is a good thing. There are many reasons to withhold your all-important examination and psychoanalysis towards others. I have listed 3:. 1 We do not know the whole story. Too often, we draw conclusions based on just a. Few tidbits of information. Lives, it seems rather silly to speak bad words about someone else.

Think About It: April 2012

Friday, April 20, 2012. 104 – APRIL 2012. 8220;and after the earthquake a fire, but. Not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. The NIV translation says “. A gentle whisper.”. It’s a great blessing to be able to hear the voice of God. I know of people that have heard an audible voice but my experiences have been more like a whisper of the Holy Spirit of God. I have recalled just a few times:. It sounds a bit rough, but it was exactly how I had to hear it. 8220;It is the Spirit who gives lif...
