Willing Thoughts: Today's Church Scam Takes The Cake
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2008/12/todays-church-scam-takes-cake.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. Today's Church Scam Takes The Cake. My name's Deacon So and So. and uhm, Mike Somebody is the bishop and we're with Church Inc and we're trying to raise some money for a 12 year old boy who is getting a kidney transplant at that hospital right up there.". Where are you located? 1) He wouldn't give the boys name, not even his first. 2) The hospital mentioned does not do kidney transplants (a doctor's wife confirmed). 5) Church Inc. really? The conception is already that condemna...

Willing Thoughts: December 2008
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 15, 2008. I'm the guy that questions everything. If it exists, if people unanimously agree it's ok, I have asked why. A lot of people do things simply because they're told to, or because they see others do them. What's funny to me is they don't stop and observe the results of what people do, they are content in doing it just because "it's what you do". So I ask about Monday, what's so bad about Monday? Hey, bob, how's it going? Well, it's a Monday. It's time for a break from trying!

Willing Thoughts: Communication Station
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2009/02/communication-station.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? I mentioned before that I question everything we do just because. And particularly I've been thinking about communication. Why do we communicate the way we do? Do we even recognize it? Is there a better way? We communicate reflects why. Do you carry a cellphone because you might need to reach someone while you're out, or because someone might need to reach you while your out? The difference is subtle but the reliability of you...

Willing Thoughts: January 2009
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. Standing in the Shadows of Giants. The inauguration is tomorrow and Obama has been championing "change". Some are far quicker to mock the statement than to question their own perspective of it. We instantly think things like "how's one man going to really change anything". He was the first to admit in his victory speech, "This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us. Of their work that he could accomplish great new. Just because discrimination and ...

Willing Thoughts: My Personal Time Machine
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-personal-time-machine.html
Wednesday, January 14, 2009. My Personal Time Machine. Another time travel dilemma people suffer from is the past. "I'm not trying that because I'm not good at it." We too often let history haunt our present and predetermine our future. If we let the past determine our future what's the point in even having a present? God created time and even a time machine so that we can find ourselves exactly where He wants us. Here and now. I want to use the past and the future to my advantage. I want to use them...

Willing Thoughts: Blank Pages
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2009/01/blank-pages.html
Friday, January 2, 2009. Often when I pray I pray for wisdom. I recognize that a fair amount of people do as well. Whether it be because of a big decision that lies ahead or all of the little ones that lie in between. But sometimes we ask as if there is some amount of knowledge, or ability to manipulate that knowledge, that will take away the difficulty and fear of these decisions. January 3, 2009 at 9:49 AM.

Willing Thoughts: Why Do Chickens Crossroads?
http://willlurie.blogspot.com/2008/12/why-do-chickens-crossroads.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Why Do Chickens Crossroads? People tend to be afraid of things that are intended to be liberating. Like flying on an airplane. Like riding a roller coaster. Like the big hat buckle wearers who fled religion to practice their brand of faith in the freedom of a New World. No this isn't a late Thanksgiving message. But doesn't it feel strange somewhere inside that people should ever feel they have to be afraid of an oppressing religion? The last church we were at. Because they ...
