on a desert plain...: September 2006
http://desertplain.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
On a desert plain. Saturday, September 16, 2006. Part I - Minimized Effectiveness. The birds of the air and the lilies of the field. They know what they are doing. Worry is a lot of things. Worry is how we cope with things we can't handle. Worry is a waste of time. Worry is a defense mechanism. Worry is not going to solve anything. And most of all, worry is a lack of belief in the fact that God has our best in mind. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:26-27, NIV). As passi...

on a desert plain...: Fiscal Responsibility Starts at Home
http://desertplain.blogspot.com/2009/02/fiscal-responsibility-starts-at-home.html
On a desert plain. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Fiscal Responsibility Starts at Home. For the most telling chart on our current financial mess click HERE. I find this most interesting primarily because I haven't seen it before. If you bought yours before then or never want to move, and you can actually afford your mortgage (another problem all together). then stop checking zillow. Also, everyone should not own their own home. nor should everyone stay in the home they never should have bought in the ...

http://desertplain.blogspot.com/2009/02/i-have-list-of-5-tips-on-expanding.html
On a desert plain. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. I have a list of 5 tips on "Expanding a Household Brand" by a guy named Garry Ridge (he is President and CEO of WD-40) hanging above my desk. Tip #5 goes like this: Invest in products that consumers will always need. This makes good sense. And in order to understand what people will always need, we have got to understand what kinds of problems people will always have. and then, here's the key, we've got to invest. Sore backs (hot pads, Icy Hot).

on a desert plain...: October 2005

On a desert plain. Saturday, October 08, 2005. 200 words or less - Context. I believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. A book, in its original languages, that allows us to see the very heart of our Lord. It is a story from beginning to end (chapter and verse numbers were added much, much later). It is an intertwined adventure, full of love, mysteries, action and life-saving truth. 1 Corinthians 13 is about proper use of spiritual gifts — not about romance. Posted by Randall Payleitner.

on a desert plain...: May 2009

On a desert plain. Friday, May 29, 2009. This isn't just a blog about life issues. I promise. But read this:. So, while I do believe that bringing God into the equation of life is critical- it really is refreshing when someone who claims to not believe in God at all will de-politicize an issue and make a solid, morally based argument:. A pro-life atheist tells why the tides might be turning. But even if you might disagree with my claims there, you might want to tread lightly just in case I might be right.

on a desert plain...: April 2009

On a desert plain. Tuesday, April 14, 2009. If you can't beat 'em. Do you think we should join 'em? Well, in one sense it can be a cop out. In another sense it might conjure up good sportsmanship. Take for example the loser of a political primary election. After spending months nitpicking at their opponents weaknesses, pointing out their flaws, claiming that they have no experience, etc. Then losing. And then joining forces to fight off a common enemy. I'm glad God is in charge. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

On a desert plain. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Kinda Makes Me Sick. Children are not a "cost" to be rid of. Children are not a line item to delete once the irresponsible state governments get stuck in the red. Children rejuvenate cultures in downturns. Societies that act on what this woman (the Speaker of the House of Representatives, 2nd in line to the Presidency) is saying, eventually die. Freedom has a scent, like the top of a newborn baby's head." - 'Miracle Drug'. Posted by Randall Payleitner.

On a desert plain. Monday, March 16, 2009. What do you think of when I write the term "Guardian Angel" up there? A puffly, winged creature hovering between you and oncoming traffic? A stranger who shows up at the exact right time, with the exact right something, only to never be heard from again? A prayer card with the etymology of your name on it? Angels are God's creation, we need not forget that we serve an omniscient God whose Spirit is everywhere (John 3:5-8). Posted by Randall Payleitner. I believe...

on a desert plain...: 2 minutes

On a desert plain. Wednesday, March 04, 2009. Perusing the Internet can waste a lot of time and can yield few results- or it can cause me to find this computer-generated reenactment of the US Airways plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River last month. Basically, this pilot took everything he ever learned, all his thousands of hours of flight training, his years of experience and PERFECTLY EXECUTED this landing, without losing any cool (or lives), in less than 2 minutes. Hebrews 10:38-39, NIV).
