TRUE MAN

Men of Faith

2006-10-23T10:13:00Z

As a man among men he leads by example and not by that which is the social norm of the day. When he falls short of his earthly goals, he sincerely asks for GODs forgiveness, then forgives himself and proceeds to work hard to not make that error again. King Solomon said "There is not a righteous man that never sins." All men stumble and make mistakes, just get up facing the right direction. Take responsibility for your actions and learn from your mistakes.

A true man stands for something and does not fall for just anything that comes his way. He embraces his purpose for living and lives out his purpose with passion. He's the mail man, the garbage man, the janitor, the teacher, the councelor, the fireman, the policeman. He is any and every man that will answer to the call of greatness and faith on his life. He may not be one who has a doctorate of letters behind his name and is most likely a man of simple means.

He is respectful and respectable. He is a loving son, a helpful brother, a supportive friend, a passionate husband, a super dad, a man who fights the good fight of faith to stay the course of GOD's divine plan for him and his future. He works to resist the worldly temptations of alcohol, sex, drugs and the stinking thinking that he faces every time he opens his eyes to a new day. He holds hard and fast to a belief that he is someone special in the eyes of GOD and his life is a gift to be shared.

He walks daily in the presence of GOD's spirit. He is a man that can't be bought, because he is a man that has been called. He may not be a man of many words or a man with numerous college degrees. He may not be able to quote bible scripture which are always on the tip of his tongue, but he possess the character of wise men. He looks upon another mans wife, daughter, sister, mother as thought they were his own and not persons to be prayed upon with envy and lust. He is a gentleman who recognizes that respecting others even when they are not respectable is what makes him a true man. He is faithful and dutiful in his commitment to his call to always live as a true man.

Small Business School

2006-10-23T09:22:00Z

SmallBusinessSchool is a weekly, half-hour television show that began in 1994 and has been airing ever since, first on PBS-member stations in the USA, then on IBB Voice of America TV (VOA) around the world, then on cable stations throughout Canada, Latin America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, New Zealand and more. In the USA the show re-airs on DirecTV and Dish Network.

SmallBusinessSchool is also this web presence where the substance of every episode of the show is available, first within an executive summary (overview-profile), the transcript, a case study guide, and streaming video -- all being translated into Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish.

The people: As small business owners, Bruce Camber and Hattie Bryant felt there was something missing from television. There was nothing about the men and women who are more likely to invent a new product, create a job, and support their community than those big business folks that get 99% of the media's attention. Television is full of news and stories about the publicly-traded companies.

They also believe there is something profoundly wrong with much of television. There is too much programming that capitalizes on and glamorizes exploitation; and there is not enough about creativity and the processes of creating something of value.

SmallBusinessSchool involves many, many people, however the story begins with these two people. This is a Mom-and-Pop shop; they are a husband and wife team, the founders and creators of the series. And like any business, they, too struggle with roles and definitions.

Hattie is the producer / creator of SmallBusinessSchool. She has been a small business owner since 1979; she provided employee training for small companies, most often with 100 employees or less. She developed courses based on the real stories and successful experiences of these small business owners and employees. She has presented seminars in most every state and is a widely-acclaimed public speaker.

In every show she takes us on a discovery mission to find out why people have been so successful within the businesses that they start from out of their minds and passion.

Bruce is the executive producer / founder of SmallBusinessSchool (and before, Small Business 2000 and Small Business Today). He has been focused on human creativity and productivity from a very early age. He has been a small business owner since 1970 and has had thousands of small business customers. In 1978 he envisioned a conceptual framework for diverse question-answer arrays about the first principles of business, of value, and even of our deepest questions about life.

In the '80s he developed software systems (human interfaces) to mimmic human intuition. Pushing it all together, the first iteration of a dream is SmallBusinessSchool.org, a resource for small business owners to get real answers to questions about their business and a place to develop a community of values around best business practices. (More...)

When they started to raise money to produce the program, none of the big companies had a marketing effort directed toward small business owners. The executive over "Emerging Business" at one of the BIG CPA firms, said, "No one wants to be small. If you change the name of the program, we might consider becoming a sponsor." You could conclude that "small" was getting no respect and that has been the case until the web began to sweep the world. Now everyone wants a small business portal and every big company knows that we small business owners spend billions of dollars purchasing the goods and services we need to run our companies.

Many people ask, "Why public television?" Bruce and Hattie envisioned a "how-to" series (such as "This Old House") for small business owners. They have always wanted the show to answer the question, "How does a person start and grow a business?" Also, the broadcasts of PBS-member stations are free to most every American. You don't have to have cable to receive this signal and today SmallBusinessSchool reaches into about 90 million households via over 200 public television stations in the USA.

Sexual Intimacy

2006-10-23T03:25:00Z

Building and cultivating intimacy in a relationship is like going on a journey to an exotic place called love. It is an experience that must be savored and not rushed. And here is where the fun begins. Each couple must define and map out their own unique journey. A journey that will lead you down a path to personal wholeness'. Sex is truly a joyful celebration between two people who love each other. Sex should never be down played as just another recreational sport or a fulfillment of ones own personal needs. Remember, GOD created sex, it wasn't created for us in some dark place to hide away and experience. GOD doesn't keep sex from us, GOD keeps sex for us. It is the giving of oneself, and not the taking from another that makes sex so fulfilling. Women have the gift of sex and men have a great need for sex. Men don't just want sex, they need it to be men.

From the abundance of the heart the mouth truly speaks. True love is paved with patient and unselfish consistency which nurtures a mature relationship. Men have scaled mountains, slain dragons and built civilizations for the love of a woman and women have given birth to a linage of kings, queens and mighty nations because of the love they have for their man. Read the Song of Solomon and truly understand how a man and woman become one spiritually and physically.

Remember desperate infatuation can quickly turn into deep seated hostility when all you have in common are hormones. When we learn how to move beyond the impulses of youthful lust, hopefully with out damaging the people that we encounter along the way, we should then learn that love is more than just an emotional and physical feeling. Because charm is deceptive, emotions and feelings are fleeting, they can be here today and gone tomorrow. Males and females will never fulfill each others every need completely. It isn't fair to believe that any human is responsible for our happiness. But true and mature love involves making a decision and the commitment to love no matter what. Because we all want to be loved unconditionally, no matter what. If you only live for the exciting and thrilling moments that you think love will hold, that is very short lived. And continuously chasing that feeling only repeats the cycle to obtain that same spontaneous empty feeling over and over again with a different face in a different place.

To love starts with a choice of your will, and not just because of some embedded imprint on your emotions that has given you a warm feeling inside by that "Special Someone." And over time your choice to love becomes a state of mind, a merging of two souls, a soul soothing experience that carries you through life's challenging journey on this earthly plain with the love that you know you can count on.

Love slowly reaches into your soul and captures the essences of who you are in that intimate relationship. But when we are young, women play at sex to get love and men play at love to get sex. Many times all of that play leads to some level of emotional pain. And as we mature and leave our childish ways behind, hopefully we learn how to prepare for the ultimate role of being a committed, mature and loving spouse.

Because most people initially have pretty high expectations with low preparation when it comes to establishing a relationship, as we mature we soon learn that there is a big difference between being in love and being a loving person. Marriage is an eternal covenant between two people not to be entered into lightly. A truly fulfilling marriage is reserved for those who are willing to give of themselves unselfishly to their mate. Remember, marriage is not just about what's in it for you. Marriage is not about finding the right partner. Marriage is about being the right partner. Marriage is a journey that resurrects your life experiences daily. This experience shows you who you really are.

Weather we are from Mars or from Venus, our souls long for the emotional bonding and the intimacy that a physical relationship brings, with the kind sensitive touch of another human in our lives. The power of love is an awesome and very healing experience, it frees our soul to feel alive. And sexual intimacy in a loving, nurturing relationship can at times leave you speechless. With nurturing love comes a mature attitude and not a self centered attitude. When you bring your best self into your relationship, you then become open to a greater level of love and healing.

There is in every man "a king and a fool." There is in every woman "a queen and a witch." It is who you speak to in that man or that woman that will create their response to you. A man will hear a woman when she speaks to his deepest need for honor and respect. A women will hear a man if he speaks to her need to feel secure with you in your relationship with her. If we understand that the soft voice of a women turns away wrath within her home and relationships, our lives will change when we do. Anger in a women is like a bitter pill that leaves a bad taste. A women must not deny her feelings, but anger and bitterness offers no solution to what ever you face. And if we understand that a man's untamed ego and infidelity destroys trust and emotional security in his home and relationship, his relationship will grow cold, unwanting and stale. Women aren't the weaker sex, women are the meeker sex. Meekness simple means strength under control. And countless men look for just that attribute in women.

If you must explode, do it in the presence of GOD. Because he will not judge you, but others usually will. Remember, it's a mans world, but its a women's universe. A man whom his mate can not trust, is a man destined to have a very difficult relationship with his mate. When a man earns and maintains the respect of his spouse and family, this is a blessed man. Men are born leaders, but all men don't know how to or have the courage to lead and women are born with the power of influence and persuasion but don't always understand how to positively influence their mate. Men must lead fairly if they want to be respected. And women must use the power of their influence to speak to the man in the boy, no mater what his age, and not to make the man feel like a boy. Because love truly does conquers all.

Men and women are different, and it's OK. Men internalize their thoughts and feelings when they process their emotions, women verbalize their thoughts and feelings when they process their emotions. Men talk directly to an issue, women talk around and issue. Men feel about their hearts when they are in love the way women feel about their bodies when they are in love. GOD created us equal, but different.

Here are a few helpful hint for marriage bliss - Spontaneity has its place, but should not be at the expense of your relationship by seeking partner after partner because of sexual boredom. There is proper behavior and improper behavior for satisfying sexual relations. Men and women many times struggle with marital creativity, how to keep the sparks flying and the flames glowing. Remember, GOD love you both and wants you both to experience sexual fulfillment. Learn to cultivate your love in faith with your mate. Never mount a military campaign in your home ;o). Agree that you will NEVER go to bed angry with each other. Because day by day if unresolved, your anger can turn into bitterness, resentment and contempt for your mate. Admit to each other that there is a lack of understanding regarding each others point of view about how you both may feel about an issue. Why, because men and women many times see and feel different about the very same situation. A wife is a true blessing in a mans life and a husband is a protector of his wife and children. Remember, a smart man realized early that a happy life means that he has a happy wife, and a smart woman will find and tenderly nurture and respect the little boy inside of her man. If you want a godly woman you must be a godly man. The same holds true for a woman.

Just for MEN. Are you more like Mr. Rogers or Mr. T. There are advantages to being a little bit like both. A healthy woman wants a confident, strong, assertive man at her side like Mr. T, but she also want a man who is kind, caring and makes her feel loved and important like Mr. Rogers. Well in the real world it's not easy to be that perfect combination. But a true man will attempt to please his marital mate by learning to express his love for her in her place of need. On the flip side, women are learning that they have got to share the power. Some women have to be lovingly told that, you've got to know how to let a man be a real man. And it's not hard to do when a women loves and respect her true man. A true man earns and commands the respect that keeps him grounded. Are you called to be a true man?

This year, some 200,000 American men will discover they have prostate cancer. Second only to skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men. Thirty percent of American men, or one in four, will have prostate cancer by the time they're 50, with the numbers increasing as men age. As many as 38,000 men are expected to die from prostate cancer this year alone.

Most physicians recommend the standard treatment choices--surgery, radiation, and hormonal therapy--treatments that have limited effectiveness at best and cause major side effects ranging from incontinence to impotence for an overwhelming majority of patients. Now you can take a holistic approach to dealing with this growing problem. READ MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO ON MERCOLA.COM
