Good is just a longer version of God!

God has wired us to want to do good and to want to be good…there’s nothing wrong with that!!

Often times other people’s insecure consciences try and make people who are attempting to do good feel like they are only trying to get brownie points from somebody else and try to shame them for their good efforts!

Those bad thoughts would try to pull us back from the good we would like to do… that we must do…but we have to push ahead and hopefully pull them with us as they see the energy expended for good only multiplies and gives more strength to the giver and receiver of good!

Like produces like! 🙂

Let your message be seen loud and clear…and make it a good message!

Make it something that speaks life and encouragement, growth and grace to everyone who sees it!

Go fly it!

‘Everybody’ is not really the ‘everybody’ in many statistics we hear.

I believe the huge majority of our nation’s people are good people with good hearts wanting the best for themselves, their families and their country. They seek ways to commend each other, promote, award and advance all kinds of good thoughts, ideas, work, and leadership.

It’s easy to get into a negative bent when we talk about things we want improved or done differently. In our country, we have capabilities to provide solutions.  We are not locked into any certain way of doing things. We have freedom!

That’s the definition of true freedom…that I am free to change me and improve upon my life…make things different and better for me and my family. Freedom is not a coercion of others to follow along with my plans and ideas.  Freedom is leading, guiding, helping people to see and do good for themselves and others.

We have a bill of rights – not for me to demand you give me your rights, but that I can live out my rights in a way that’s best for me and mine without harming you and yours.

Do not give in to the voices rallying to condemn. Commend instead! Use your powerful voice to build up, strengthen, and encourage. Condemnation and destruction are two evil cousins not related to our brotherhood of commendation and freedom.

Who can I find to commend today?
