Refraining From Negative Personal Criticism
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Saturday, August 12, 2017
Do you ever negatively criticize people? Perhaps even, those closest to you – meaning loved ones, and dear friends?
Why is it that such seems to be the case, more often, than not?
To refrain from negatively criticizing people is a loving decision that I’ve made which respects people.
It doesn’t mean that I always agree with their decisions, but it allows Read the rest of this entry »

Little Irritants
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Friday, July 14, 2017
The toilet lid is up.
The toilet seat is up.
The toothpaste cap is off.
The toothpaste tube is squeezed all over.
The toilet paper hangs off the back.

Professor Dr. Robert Alter, PhD, professor of Hebrew and comparative literature at the University of California, Berkeley, wrote in his 1984 book “The Art of Biblical Poetry” that a dialogue with “the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy” the sensuous joys of sexuality and the encouraging dialogue of friends occurs in Song of Solomon, the unmistakably erotic book in the Bible.
Feminist Biblical scholar Dr. Jo Cheryl Exum, PhD, Professor Emeritus at the University of Sheffield, England, in an expository entitled “Song of Songs” in the 2012 book “Women’s Bible Commentary,” wrote in part that, “We do not know whether or not the situation – love, one-to-one relationship – allowed a certain freedom from social constraints, or whether the genre (love poetry) of the social setting (private rather than public life) accounts for the Song’s unique portrayal of mutuality in love, but in any event, the Song testifies to a world-view that included a vision of romance in which Read the rest of this entry »

Bear this in mind as you read the following news item: For the vast majority of workplaces, alcohol consumption during work hours could lead to significantly more than mere dismissal from employment. For those whose work involves human life – such as heavy machinery operators, healthcare professionals, law enforcement officers, and others – it could result in harm or loss of life to individuals.

Having A Drink Or Two At Work Could Boost Your Productivity
