Love God.
Love your neighbor.
Can it really be that basic?
If so, how can we make it so complicated?

All of us on Christmas Day.
No telling what I may write about. But, hopefully whatever it is will be beneficial to those reading.
The passions behind this blog
Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, retired pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.
If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.
If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Rick,
First I read your post, then I went to read another blog and found this...
O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
I found on on jesuscreed.org the blog of Scot McKnight.
Yes,
Because
Basic, NOT easy
why? because we are sinful and prideful people who desperately need a savoir!
I think about this all the time. It really is all you need to do to keep from sin. Sin always hurts another person in some way. I agree with bill that it's basic but not easy.
I think it's more than just keeping us from sin, not that that's any small matter. I think it's the whole package. Everything we do should be summed up in those two loves.
>@Rick....Yep,got it!
