Inspirational Thoughts For Today - Trust, Desire and Rest | Motivational Insights

Image
 Trust, desire, and rest are three powerful concepts that can significantly impact our lives when approached with the right mindset and perspective.  When it comes to trust, it's natural to want to place our faith in those around us, relying on their strength and support. However, as much as we care for others, the reality is that humans are fallible and will inevitably let us down at times, even with the best intentions. That’s why the Bible wisely advises us to place our ultimate trust in God, who is steadfast, reliable, and never disappoints us. By anchoring our trust in the Lord, we can navigate life's storms with greater resilience and peace of mind. Similarly, when it comes to our desires and aspirations, dreaming big and working diligently towards our goals is admirable and can bring immense satisfaction. However, we must be careful not to become so consumed by these pursuits that we lose sight of what truly matters—our faith and connection with God. When we become over...

Image
 Written By: Ken Hulsey Many of you are undoubtedly familiar with the legends of Bigfoot and all of his ape-like kin who are reported to dwell in the numerous remote wilderness areas and swamps throughout North America.

91X - XETRA-FM 91.1 FM San Diego | America's Best Rock Station | The Original Cutting Edge of Rock

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey This has been a profoundly sentimental week for me. It all started when I discovered that an old friend from my church congregation used to live in my hometown of Whittier, California. Before the first service, I found myself reminiscing about the local landmarks with her, which stirred up a deep sense of homesickness. From that point on, everything I encountered seemed to trigger memories of my California roots. It probably doesn't help that I frequently wander around Louisiana wearing my Dodgers baseball cap.

When God's Grace Reaches Them | The Surprising Ending of Jonah | Ascend with Pastor Steve

Image
What happens when God shows mercy to someone you don't think deserves it?  Jonah chapter 4 presents one of the most challenging endings in Scripture. After Nineveh repents and receives God's mercy, Jonah becomes angry—not because God failed, but because God forgave. This message highlights the dangers of resentment, the struggle to extend grace to those who have hurt us, and how God desires to transform our hearts just as much as He transforms others.

The Land Unknown - Deep In The Icy Antarctic ... A Paradise Of Hidden Terrors!

Image
 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey For most of my young life, I believed that somewhere out there was some undiscovered island, secluded jungle oasis, or even a vast underground cavern that had been preserved for millions of years. The main inhabitants of this primeval world would be none other than real living dinosaurs waiting to be discovered by some explorers or a team of scientists .

Blazing Saddles | Mel Brooks' Iconic 1974 Comedy Western | Retro Cinema Classics

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey In this hilarious Mel Brooks spoof of Westerns, crafty railroad worker Bart (Cleavon Little) becomes the first black sheriff of the frontier town of Rock Ridge, which is about to be destroyed to make way for a new railroad. Initially, the townspeople harbor racial biases against their unconventional new leader. However, they warm to Bart and his perpetually drunk gunfighter friend (Gene Wilder) after realizing they are the only defense against a wave of thugs sent to rid the town of its population. This ribald and irreverent classic pokes fun at the Western genre and its tropes, sparing no one and nothing.

Our Walmart Life - Trippin in the Air Freshener Aisle

Image
 Written by Ken Hulsey Over the past several months, I've begun to realize that our local Walmart has become a true second home to my wife and me. Hardly a day goes by when I don't find myself popping in to pick up something. In fact, I often find myself popping into Walmart for reasons other than shopping. With the heat and humidity so extreme here in the South, I have actually gone to Walmart to take a walk for some exercise. There I am walking around the store in a pattern, passing the pharmacy, then the hardware department, then electronics. You get the idea. Anyone who may have observed my actions might have thought I was out of my mind, but as anyone who has ever set foot in a Walmart knows, my behavior was not the craziest thing going on in that store at the time.
