Scriptural thought of the Day:

Yesterday was a better day. It had its own anxiety but I was able to handle each problem and got through it. The thing I was so stressed out over is still there but it's looking to have a solution eventually. 

I decided to see what the daily text had to say for today and tried to think about how it applies to me personally.  

The text was from Ecclesiasties 9:6 "Better to enjoy what the eyes see than to wander after one’s desires. This too is futility, a chasing after the wind."

At first glance I thought to myself your father in heaven is trying to tell you to just enjoy what you have and try to find joy and beauty in the small things. It dose no good to want or wish for things that you don't have. Just be thankful for what you do have! I wanted to look up some cross-references to dig deeper but there wasn't any attached. There was a commentary that came from an archivelivesd issue of the Watchtower magazine. It said a deeper study  of Jesus parable of the talents in Mathew 25:14-30 might be beneficial. 
So, I did that and thought about what all I had been given. It did give me a different perspective. I especially thought about verse 29. Sometimes I tend to think of myself as someone who dose not have yet in the parable what he did have would be taken away from him. I think what you do have is what matters. Do you appreciate it, do you sgmhare it, do you try to build upon it. I mean that physically, spiritually, and monetary.

Tune in tomorrow for more of the journey.

Carl Dean "Dolly Parton's husband "

I'm kinda new to the Country Music scene. I have written a few songs and I'm trying to get them demo ready. I'm hoping to promote  them to some big city Nashville executives" soon but honestly I could care less who buys them or records them as long as I get paid. That being said I'd love to get one of my songs in the public eye. Dolly Parton had a song she wrote go above and beyond her expectations entitled "Jolene". She says she wrote that song because of her husband. I guess maybe at the time she was jealous of this Jolene. I don't know. I hope one of my songs ends up doing that well too. I saw last night where Carl Dean passed away. My wife and I will have been married 35 years come November 3rd of this year. Carl and Dolly had been married for nearly 60 years. My heart goes out to the family.  My wife recently suffered from two strokes I'm 52 and she's 73 so suffering the loss of part of my better half cant compare to a total loss but it c...
