Off the Topic of Mortgage and the Economy a Bit

We are in a world of variance. The natural byproduct of variation is deviance, because there is difference where there is variation and therefore a deviational measure. There are two forms of the definition of deviance. One definition is, deviance describes actions or behaviors that violate cultural norms etc... The other is used in statistics and relates to the difference between one variable or a group of variables to another...usually in measuring similar profiles against one another but not limited to that.
I was inspired by a message today from a Christian writer named Dr. James Denison. The message was titled The Noble Peace Prize and the Topic was The Peace of Christmas. Click Here for the link. Every spiritual person in America is not Christian, but all the good religions in the world teach a common good. You see, the humans on Earth come in a large variety of ethnic and culture groups, and the religions of the world come also in a large variety. We may all pass judgment upon our opposite spiritual beliefs, but I believe the deviation between each of the people from one religion to the next measures greater than the all out difference between what teachings each religion teaches from one to the next. Meaning, we the people of the religions make our selves more different by our free will to judge one another than the spiritual text that defines us. Obama has the ability to pioneer a road that has never been traveled, and unless we all join together and make the best of the trip, the road traveled will be bumpy whether it should be or not, and the ability to maximize the hopeful positive outcome if it does turn out good is limited by the negative resistance America's deviance has on it. As a whole, lets not be deviant to eachother and all work positively to a common interest.
Note: What I chose to write about in this blog was not intended to reflect the purpose of the message I was inspired by. It was just an angle of life that has weighed heavy on my mind recently and I took away another meaning in addition to what was shared.

Today was just a good day to post a positive feel post. It's cold outside, and I can hear the wind whistle by the window...AND it's Monday. On days like this, I know that purpose and pro action needs a little prodding, so I search out for extracurricular remedies to gather my energy.
--"Attitude is the hinge the door of your destiny swings on." (by Keith A. Craft)...that pretty much means to me, since we actually have control of our own attitude, we control our own destiny.
--Another one from Keith Craft goes like this, "The happiest people on the Earth are not people who don't have problems, but they are people who have learned to solve problems."...you know, we all have those dear friends that can spend hours on hours talking about their problems and who is responsible for them, but they aren't. The weird thing about it for me is, as I listen to those problems, I think back in my "database of life" and it becomes conscious to me that I at one point shared those same exact problems. The difference is, I also become conscious to the fact that I remember what sacrifices I made in the past that I didn't necessarily think I had the energy, time, or even the responsibility to make, and I chose to make the sacrifice investment for the future to change my plan or activitiy for that scenario and I no longer have some of those problems...I decided to own them, and therefore did what it took to solve them. I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS, AND I STILL CHOOSE NOT TO OWN SOME OF THE PROBLEMS AND AVOID SACRIFICE, BUT I THANK GOD FOR MAKING ME HUMAN...AFTER ALL, WE ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE AND SOME CHOOSE TO BE MORE ACTIVE IN THEIR OWN LIVES THAN OTHERS AND I LIKE TO THINK I AM MORE ACTIVE TOWARD MY DIRECTION OF PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION.Have a great week and best wishes for youR Thanksgiving!!!
