Fact Checking


 Resources for fact-checking… 

 When I was working on my MBA, we were required to use verified and proven sources as we did our assignments and presented information in class. 

 What was comforting to me about this was that not only did I have to make sure that what I was sharing with the class was verified and true, but also, I was able to relax knowing that what my classmates shared was verified and true as well. 

 In my experience, this has helped to create a solid and powerful learning environment. 


Wouldn’t that be great if our culture and society required the same thing? 

Sure, on some levels we do, that is why there is the “fine print” at the bottom of most documents requiring our signatures, but what about the advertisements and wild claims that fly from folks’ mouths as they try to say our opinions or move us to buy or try to evoke emotions in us? 

It pays to check the source of the information. 

Sometimes selfish motives outweigh facts, and the information gets manipulated to stretch or fabricate the truth. 

The promises that are in the 2 most important books in my life assure me that their facts are straight and real. 

The Bible and the Big Book are the 2 sources I rely on daily to help me see and say the truth… 


How do you verify what you are seeing and hearing?.. 

Check your experience… 

“For faith in a Power greater than ourselves, and miraculous demonstrations of that power in human lives, are facts as old as man himself.” Big Book pg 55 

Lord, let us look to Your Word and Your will for us when we seek to learn the truth, AMEN. 

“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” Colossians 2:8 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Be Salty!


Seasoned with salt – NOT Salty language! 

Even though words fly out of our mouths with meaning formed from our emotions and experience, they can be received and interpreted differently by the individuals receiving them. 

Obviously, our words have different meanings depending on what part of the country we are in. 

For instance, asking for a pop outside of the Southern United States will get you blank stares instead of asking for a soda or other carbonated beverage. 

The point I am trying to share is that our words need to be geared toward the audience we are addressing. 

Our dinner conversations with our 23-year-old daughter revolves around more adult themed topics like finances and insurance instead of the topics we discussed with her in her younger years. 

Are you making sure the words you are using are being received in the right manner?.. 

Check your experience… 

 “Patience, tolerance, understanding and love are the watchwords.” Big Book pg 118 

Lord let our words be filled with grace and formed so that the ears of those receiving will understand, AMEN. 

“Live wisely among those who are not believers and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.” Colossians 4: 5-6 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

How's Your Footing?


How’s your footing? … 


Sometimes we find ourselves on rocky, cluttered, or unstable paths as we try to walk. 

When we encounter these challenges, we usually become a bit more wary of each step and sometimes consider changing our path. 

We don’t necessarily need to change the goal or the destination, but perhaps change the way we are trying to get there. 

 We can and will encounter some unstable paths in life and along our Spiritual walk as well. 

It’s in those times we can look to the Holy Spirit to guide us and set us on a clear and more stable path instead of trying to seek an easier, softer way on our own. 

How do you find firm footing spiritually? … 

Check your experience… 

“Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs.” Big Book pg. 63 

Lord, let us look to You to establish our footing when we find ourselves on shaky ground, AMEN. 

 “You cleared the ground under me so my footing was firm.” 2 Samuel 22:37 

Have a blessed day Y’all!!
