Judgmental:

Yes judgmental.  Lately I've felt that people are becoming more and more judgmental both in the world and in Christian circles.  We're all guilty of it at one time or another, but when it is going to stop.  What provacated this entry you ask? Well I'll tell you.  I was sitting my office listening to some officemates talk about a magazine that they were looking at about how "busted" the people (models, that is) in the magazine were.  They were talking about the way people dress want what makes someone "gay".  I found it ridiculous because they knew nothing of these people yet they were willing to speak poorly of them.  You might say why didn't you stop the conversation, well because that last time I attempted to do so I was told to mind my own business.  So this time when I became fed up of them I left the room.  I've lately been really convicted about being judgmental about looking at a person and based on their outward appearance making an assumption about them.  So I've willingly and consciously made and extra effort to stop in my own life!  

Can you Die of A Broken Heart?

With Valentine's Dat just around the corner, I thought that this might be an apporiate post.  The other day I was watching the channel 7 evening news and I saw a special medical report about the story of a broken heart actually having medical merit.  Now as skeptic and scientist, I thought no, that can't be true. So, I checked up on it myself. Here it is people the weblink to back up this claim:

  http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/asc/faqs.html . 

(This is from Johns Hopkins itself and not some bogus site)

"Stress cardiomyopathy, also referred to as the “broken heart syndrome,” is a condition in which intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy). This condition can occur following a variety of emotional stressors such as grief (e.g. death of a loved one), fear, extreme anger, and surprise. It can also occur following numerous physical stressors to the body such as stroke, seizure, difficulty breathing (such as a flare of asthma or emphysema), or significant bleeding. "

So for this Valentine's Day don't break any one's heart because they might attempt to sue for the cost of the medical bills. 

It is Right?

When someone is in a position of authority they're several expectations that people have of you.  You are sometimes required be superhuman.Why? Is right for people to place those in authority on a pedistal that they will eventually fall off of. 

Is there a real difference between venting and gossip? If there is where do you draw that line. Yes, it does go toward motive but how can you really tell someone's motive especially when they're angry. 

More to come.....
