I am Ambitious, obviously you are Greedy
Being ambitious is a positive attribute and leads us to doing great things. Avarice or greed is destructive and leads us to perdition. Unfortunately we can’t tell when ambition becomes greed. I know that I always see myself as ambitious and never greedy. But I can always tell when you have crossed the line. And there in lies the answer. Each of us needs a friend to tell us when we have chosen self destructive behavior.

How Do We Know What God Wants?
Whenever I hear or read someone telling me that they know what God wants and it is not what I think, I am reminded of a baseball game!Someone in the nose bleed section of the bleachers screams at the plate umpire: “are you blind, that was a strike!” From 240 yards away this spectator can see better than the umpire standing right behind the plate!Amazing isn’t it!

Israel Right or Wrong - Is that Wrong or Right?
Israel Right or Wrong - Is that Wrong or Right?Judaism is not a Political Action Committee (PAC) for the State of Israel! Judaism is supported by God, Torah, & Israel. The first 2 are easily understood it is the third that has become used and abused. It refers to the people Israel and not to geopolitical entity. Israel the country is not the same as Israel the people!

Let Us Pray God Doesn’t Take Sides
In high school, college, and professional sports sports everyone wants God on their side. In business negotiations, a divorce, or any competition everyone wants God on their side. Needles to say both sides in war want God on their side! I am glad that I am not God constantly taking sides. Don’t put God in the middle!

Jewish or Not Here is Why You Need to Remember
I heard a famous podcaster call the Holocaust a lie, he said that only 40,000 Jews were murdered and not 6 million! According to him it is okay to murder 40,000 innocent people. I find his morality suspect! The 6 million Jews murdered stand for the million of Poles, the priests, the nuns, the Soviet people, the Gypsies, and the disabled, among 12 million more murdered. The holocaust is not just about Jews, it is about the persecution of the innocent. Remember to stop the “legal”persecution of those who are singled out just because!
