Good morning and Wonderful Wednesday. Back in 2016 I decided I wanted to branch out into something different as I was on the verge of getting a undergraduate degree in Human Resources and decided the benefits adviser was the part of the HR field I wanted to begin with. I looked on the internet and saw this up and coning tech company and decided this would be the company for me. After getting all of my licenses needed for the position I begin to work for this company. After one year of doing real well with the products that the company offered to consumers, mostly the Affordable Care Act health also known as Obamacare, this company decided that offering a limited benefit plans called fixed indemnity's which only pays a low fixed amount for medical services These policies would offer the company to make a lot of money but would have me doing things that were unethical. So if I wanted to keep my job, I was in a tough spot. In this walk of faith some of us are in tough spots. It is as if we are Between a Rock and A Hard Place.
In general people of faith have been placed Between A Rock and A Hard Place. Is the COGIC or Baptist teachings correct. Are Catholics the religion we are supposed to follow or being
non-denominational and not be limited to one teaching the way. So imagine the pressure of jobs where meat may be spoiled but it is still served, or working in a store where drugs may be sold on the outside of the store, or selling products to consumers that we know that they are not going to help the consumers and be part of a scam. At times choices we make have placed us in a position of being in Between A Rock and A Hard Place.
In coming into the Word of God for this teaching of Between A Rock and A Hard Place I want to begin in 1st Samuel 28:1-3. In these scriptures David has been chased from Israel, and now is aligned
with his enemies, the Philistines and Achish tells him David he will be with them forever. Being unwanted from home but now fighting with his enemies, David is stuck Between A Rock and A Hard Place.
In continuing this teaching of Between A Rock and A Hard Place I go back to the Word of God, I go to 1st Samuel 29:1-3. Now when Achish comes back with David and his men, the Philistines are
in shock. This is David that pursued them with Saul and was credited with killing ten thousands of Philistines. They were not having it and now David is Between A Rock and A Hard Place.
As we come to end of the Biblical portion of this teaching Between A Rock and A Hard Place we go to 1st Samuel 29: 6-11. In these passages David is confronted by Achish and he has to leave what he
thought was a safe place and return back to Israel and eventually face Saul and those who are trying to kill him. David is Between A Rock and A Hard Place.
In conclusion this walk of faith seems to have some of us Between A Rock and A Hard Place. Do I stay at my job and scam people and still think I am ethical. Do I have an occasional drink and be judged by the religious people who think that any drinking is a sin. Or do I say that my religion is superior than all others and disparage the rest. God will provide all the answers if there is a belief he will and can pull you out of these situations. My degree is based on ethics as well as the licenses I have as well. There was no way that I was going to stay Between A Rock and A Hard Place so I made a decision to leave my job and find something that I can feel good about. I am at peace and feel much better. My solution may not be your solution. David was promised sanctuary from Saul but had to find out he still was in a bad situation even after being promised sanctuary forever. Between A Rock and A Hard Place was needed for David to become a king and is part of becoming stronger for those people of faith. May God bless all those who may read this teaching and I thank him for pulling me out of being Between A Rock and A Hard Place. Have a great rest of the week.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
