Philippians 4:8 New King James Version
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
So beautiful, thank you 🙂

Another way to think about this verse is not allow oneself to go into “the darkness” because it will consume one’s spirit, soul, and eventually, their life.

Amen, on all counts….St. Paul knew about this – and expressed it in memorable, stick-to-the-heart words, for sure.

I used to believe this Simon, but after discussing the Bidens, Pelosi and HRC with Democrats, they just don’t seem to care about evil and fraud. They’re far more interested in what’s in it for them in the here and now, not realizing the long term (and most likely, the short term) destructive effects these people would have on everybody.

I think that too,ET. We turn over a rock—and the creepy crawlies under it just stare boldly into the light, like, so? Whatcha gonna do about it? Answer: well, probably nothing….

To put it simply, Hyp, it is a personality/coolness factor. It’s not cool to be a Republican let alone a conservative!
Joe Biden isn’t cool but does have association with the “hip” BHO and Kamala Harris. Nobody and I mean nobody, scrutinizes or understands the issues.
I’d like to send this entire country to business school.

P.S. The American electorate seems far too concerned about issues of which they know nothing.
This infuriates me.
Examples:
1. You’re pro-life? You’re a Neanderthal.
2. You don’t want to be in a 40% income tax bracket or if you’re really rich, you are appalled by a 90% tax bill that punishes you for your success? You’re greedy.
3. You realize Wuhan was a carefully crafted attack on DJT and the American public? You’re Xenophobic.
I would love to read a post about how to defend oneself against all of the above. My acct and I’ve done the best we can, but I am always open to specific suggestions.

Apparently not always. The IG report revealed the treasonous shenanigans of B. Hussein and his Praetorian guard the intelligence agencies. So far, only one young Subordinate minor associate has been indicted ….

One with a robust ethics curriculum, I hope…Liz, you need to head up a business school.

I have Nanda! I’ve run successful corporate and private businesses for decades and am proud to say I’ve trained my fair share of whippersnappers. 🙂
BTW, a business never succeeds on a long term basis unless they follow ethical practices. The very first thing I taught my acolytes is that it must be a win-win for both parties. If they don’t make money, neither do you.
