I have been a union man for many years. My last Union job was at one of the world's most globally recognized companies. I had a tenure of at least six years at AT&T. I was hired in to be an "all around cowboy". I was to learn every position possible. I did a pretty good job of it. I learned to be a technical guru for the company. I was an installation and repair guy for a couple of years. I did installs and repair of residential phone wire, jacks, DSL, drop lines from pole to home, and sales. I later went on to do heavy duty cable repair; finding faults in the outside plant. That gave me the opportunity to move on to AT&T construction department. I learned to build state of the art equipment. That equipment eventually lead to the AT&T U-verse that we all know and love. Suddenly, it all came to a halt.
I was told that I would be losing my position of top pay($33.00 per hour), and instantly going down to a u-verse technician position($15.00). I hung in there and worked for two years but I nearly lost my mind. I lost all of my savings. I went bankrupt. I lost my 2007 Chevy Tahoe. I lost everything but my family. I nearly lost it.
To make a long story short, i have to say what I really felt toward the end of my demise. I loved my union, but the same rules that would usually protect me, worked against me. I wanted to keep my position or work to get it back, but when I had to switch to a u-verse technician; it made me lower than anybody. I was a high ranking u-verse tech, but it meant nothing. I still had a terrible schedule. I worked long, and rediculous hours. My training had been different. I believed in top notch quality, and it was difficult to do as a u-verse tech. Speed was the name of the game. If I did not have to wait for my turn to come back around(as per union rules), I could have maneuvered and survived. If there were no union, I know plenty of people liked me and my qualities enough to move me to a place more suitable for my skill set and leadership. I would have survived. Due to union rules, I had to stay where I was, although I had more training and experience than many I and R technicians who had been hired after me. I was valuable, but was treated with no value at all. A smaller company with no union would have never thrown away over $100,000 worth of training, by allowing me to be exhausted and quit. I spent my last 90 days on stress leave. It was the worst job that I have ever had, and I have been in a war. I know that it was not just me complaining. Several other employees were on stress leave at the same time.
U-verse has a higher turn over rate than Taco Bell. That is hard to believe considering the good pay and benefits. In my case, I did not have to suffer a death blow in the funeral of a job called U-verse if Union rules did not stick me there. I could have been saved. This is just one man's story.

Should The Right Hand Let The Left Know What Its Doing?
Is it okay for one person in a relationship to keep secrets from the other person? That seems to be a simple enough question. Most people would volunteer the goody two shoe answer of "of course not". That would be the easy answer, but not the most believed. There are a great deal of couples who are honest about the taste of the food, the hair styles, body appearance, and even sexual satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are not very many that are willing to be completely honest about financial situations.
I had to ask my wife for forgiveness one year. Sometimes, people keep secrets, and they do not even realize it. I privately harbored the belief that my wife would "single handily" wipe out any money that she found out about. I was operating in unforgiving ways, and judging her based on her past decisions. I thought to myself, " I will never tell her, if I win the Lottery". I thought that I would pay off all of the bills, secure our future investments, and take her shopping with the left over money. Does that sound familiar? Can I get a witness? I know someone has felt that way before. I realized that I had no right to keep such a blessing from her, if such a blessing happened. I would feel betrayed to know that my wife won $50,000, and disclose it after it was depleted. That is why I apologized, and asked for her forgiveness. I began to understand that we would never be blessed as a couple, if we could not function as a couple. Why should great things fall into our hands, when we plan to lie about it immediately.
The older generation would concede to having some secrets in order to make the relationship have peace. I suppose that concept seems like a noble one. The terrible part about keeping secrets is that they can sometimes lead to deeper secrets. Have you ever heard someone say that lies can lead you into an even deeper web of lies? Secrets can work the same way in a relationship. One secret can cause a person to tell several in order to cover up the first. It may have been a noble gesture in the beginning, but it could really hurt your partner after the heavy build up of dishonesty begins to tumble. I have personally witnessed both genders from the older generations advise people to keep secrets. Female x told her niece to keep a stash, and never tell your man. I quote, " Chowl, don't ya let dat boy know where all ya pennies be, or you ain't gone ever have none for ya self". On a separate occasion, I heard male x say, " If you ever let a woman know what your private savings is, she gone always find a purpose for it". I will not deny that it certainly feels like the old people were correct sometimes, but they were not.
I always tell my children that there is only one reason to lie. There are no valid, or acceptable reasons to lie. All reasons fall into one category. That category is fear. That is right. Everyone who ever lied, did so because of the fear of one thing or another. People fear getting fired, beaten, divorced, rejected, ridiculed, emotionally hurt, and many other things. It is all fear. What are you scared of? A secret and a lie is in the same family. Both are akin to dishonesty. Stop the lies now.
If a couple is not married, I agree with the concept of a need to know relationship. Some things are none of your business. That only changes when you are married or engaged to be married. It would be unwise to tell your boyfriend about every dime that you posses, and the access codes to all of the goods. If he gives no commitment, you don't have to either. That applies to both sexes. The bible talks about two people becoming one flesh. That also means one bank account. Even if you have two, they must operate like one. Both partners need to know what is going on. Why does it feel like freedom to not tell the other person? There is no agreement between the two. A house divided against itself cannot stand.What is his is his and hers. If you don't trust him or her, don't marry the person. It reflects your judgement, if you can't trust a person whom you have carefully probed. Discard that person, thank your intuition, and start again. Christians call that discernment. You must trust yourself, and that person will become "yourself". The two shall become one flesh. I am not going to go there completely, but quit hiding the money. A division sown any place within your relationship will ultimately cause division at the surface level. A split in the money is a split in the honey. I say, "First the bank, Then the bed". Complete separation is inevitable.People have been lolled to sleep with passivity. Its time to wake up and smell the coffee. If this hurts, this is for you.
What can you do about this whole mess? The first thing is to simply acknowledge that you have a problem in your relationship. The next thing to find out is why you have the problem in the relationship. The problem is common, and is one of the leading causes of divorce in the United States. Most people did not set out to be a fabricating dog, full of fear, and stuck to a web of lies. I said before, that secret and lies are rooted in fear. One might ask, "how do I get beyond it"? There are two immediate things to do.
Every lie that I have ever told could have been defeated with courage, confidence, and communication.

The Wisdom Of Forgiveness
We live in a world of infinite knowledge limited by elusive wisdom. We have access to multiple volumes of past human brains. We have what is known as the inspired word of God, which is considered stretching beyond human wisdom. The average man or woman can access almost anything in any language. I can speak a bit of Japanese, but i was never strong at written Japanese. Never the less, I was able to translate an entire letter from English to Japanese Kanji in a matter of moments, via Internet. Many people are not so fortunate in the area of knowing what to do with the knowledge. A intelligent person can have a profound knowledge of something, and still feel handcuffed to mediocrity. People feel this way all of the time. Have you ever believed the answer was right in front of you, but you simply could not grasp the appropriate application of the principle which leads you to the desired results? I am sure that you have. Everyone faces these type of moments in route to wisdom. Wisdom is the divine ability to apply acquired knowledge. Wisdom is the upper echelon of the human capability. It is such a heavy feeling burden when I believe that I know what to do, but I don't know how to go about doing it. This is where wisdom is necessary.
There are an array of applications for wisdom ( The how to and when to of the what). How can I take better care of my family? Who should I marry, and at what age? Should I invest in this property? How do I fix this relationship? How do I forgive? How do I go on living like this? We have plenty of input from the diverse arena of knowledge, but which input do we use? Let us choose one subject, and explore a scenario of applied wisdom.
The principle thing to know is how to obtain wisdom in a given area. However, a "how to" method on obtaining specific wisdom is another book in itself. Therefore, I will simply give you some of my own wisdom from a particular area. Your responsibility is to sift it through your "Bull-O-Meter", and see if it is applicable for your use or discarding. Let us take the subject of forgiveness as one universally common problem in the "how to" area. People do not understand what steps to take in order to forgive someone. Let me try to help, and you can call it wisdom or "wisdumb".
There are generally two questions to ask when going through the process of forgiveness.
I have seen people disconnect from others when the other person had no idea what they did, or never intended for the act to be interpreted in such a negative way. People have left churches mad at pastors. People refuse to go to a church because of something that happened some where else. Spouses have slept in different bed for years because of a single offense. How many people have you turned your back on because you think they turned their back on you first? Unforgiving begins with a root seed of offense.
In order to get rid of the dark and unforgiving hurt, you must track down the offense. Ask yourself, "did this person really intend to offend me"? Did this person hate me? Would they hurt me on purpose? Do they communicate in a way that is different than mine? Are they more passive or aggressive than I am? I know that thousands left my church at one point. The pastor made decisions, and later admitted that the changes came to early and at the wrong time. How much more character do you want than that? He admitted he was out of season. I assessed to situation the entire time as a Christian should. The bible tells us not to judge one another, but it does tell us to judge all situations. I think I judged it perfectly. I asked myself if he did anything harmful and out of order on purpose. The answer was no. He acted with high character before, during, and after the split. I stayed. I was never taken by offense. Even if i were, i know his heart was not of evil intentions. I would have forgiven him over and over again. I urge you to ask yourself the same question. Did your friend or spouse do it on purpose? Did your teacher or boss say it, knowing that you would be offended? Did your sibling desire to see your pain? If not, please forgive them. They knew not what they did. Like little innocent children, give them one more chance. That is what it means to be the bigger person. You become like a parent or the everlasting father. You give grace, pardons, and you sow the seed of self sacrifice. It yields a harvest of unrestricted love.
It is slightly more of a daunting task to forgive someone who malevolently abused your friendship with perfect knowledge of the forthcoming pain
Sometimes, I am not successful at picturing the offender as a retarded child. That is when I have to go to the highest level of self defense. My defense is to extract the offense from within myself because it is my responsibility physically, mentally, and spiritually. The internal stress has proven to be enough to cause bodily traumas and disease. You physically are dis-eased and a cancerous environment is given prime time within your dwelling. Your mental disposition leads back to your physical position. Where the head goes, the body must follow. If you are a spiritual person, most spiritual manuals will denounce the practice of not forgiving. The bible makes it a command. It is bad karma for Buddhist and other religions. Most spiritual people understand that the final responsibility of forgiveness lies with the person who is offended. This means that you are doing it for yourself first and the offender second. At any rate, your sacrifice of letting it go is notable. Your harvested gift will be a light, burden free, spirit, body, and soul. Your harvest/reward is beautiful, and it is all yours, due to your courageous actions. You are so smart. It takes so much inner character. You are ready. The time is now. You can do it. Let's forgive.

There are generally two questions to ask when going through the process of forgiveness.
- Did the person in question act maliciously with full knowledge and intent?
- If the act was intently, do I need to forgive anyway?
I have seen people disconnect from others when the other person had no idea what they did, or never intended for the act to be interpreted in such a negative way.

Before The Wedding
Some things that are said and written are things that may cause you to change the entire direction of you life. On the other hand, there are some things that just make you say "humm". When it comes to marriage, there are many things that can make you raise an eyebrow before the big day.
One might ask, "Do I really love him or her?". Answering that question depends on whose definition of love you are using. The dictionary probably has about twelve definitions. None of those definitions are really any good if the other person does not agree. No matter how much you believe that you love someone, it does not matter if the other person says that you don't. The two of you actually have a division before the marriage ever gets off of the ground. My recommendation is to find out what the other person determines love to be and why.
One might ask, "Do I have a good man or woman?". Answering that question depends on whose definition of a good man or woman you are using. Grandma might have said that a good man is a man that comes home every night. Mama might have said a good man is a man that can fix things emotionally as well as physically. I recall telling a professional female therapist that a man is a protector and a cultivator. She told me that she does not really think of a man as her protector. We obviously had a disconnect in that area. That would pose a huge problem in marriage because that subject was only one dimension of multiple possibilities of ideology differences. Imagine if she does believe that a real man is one that walks the poodle in order to satisfy the need of the poodle owner (her). What happens if I believe that poodle walking is not what makes a man be a man. I would be downgraded to less than a man, instantly. What happens if the man calls a real woman the type of woman that cooks daily? Coincidentally, the woman in question is the master of microwaves after the vows take place. Without further communication, that particular marriage is doomed. My recommendation is that both people in the relationship thoroughly discuss what the fundamental needs are, and how to meet them. Maybe he says, "oral sex is mandatory for me to consider a female to be a good woman". Maybe she says, "missionary sex is what a real man does to a lady". All I am saying is, "you better know before you go".
One of the biggest stumbling blocks in marriage is the matter of finances. I am ashamed to say that some of the worst advice that I have ever received, came from "Good 'Ol" church people. I know that not all Christians think equally, but I do get some good laughs at the different grade levels of biblical understanding. I had a family member give me advice on keeping a happy home and a happy bank. She told me to never let the left hand know what the right hand was doing. She meant that I was not supposed to tell my wife about all of my money. That is a ridiculous seed to sow. Never sow seeds of division at the onset of marriage. I would rather tell her where every cent is located and train her on the subject of me. She has to train me on the subject of her. Some men have to hide it because they think she is going to go buy new boots and a purse. That matter should have been taken care of back in the beginning. Some ladies have to have a separate account because they don't want their shopping controlled by God, the devil, the husband, or anyone. Fix these matters at the beginning, or don't get married. Not all things can be fixed before marriage, but a general direction and understanding of one another's world view can be. Discuss your finances. Don't do it my way, but do it in a way that two can agree upon. If you are already broke as a joke, I recommend putting a monthly percentage in a gift account, especially for the purpose of shopping. That includes her Macy's or his Home Depot.
Opposites may attract, but they can also keep attracting and pulling at each other until the point of destruction. What does he say about beating the children? What does he say about faith and finances? What does she say about the household decision making process? Who gets the last call? Is it a bunch of pirates and no captain, or is someone ultimately responsible? Who is the family landscaper? Are we splitting the bills, or is it all coming from one pot? Are we allowing a big man dog, or the little puffy puppy? Is sex for birthdays and holidays? Is shopping for birthdays and holidays? These are just a small array or the myriad of issues that make you say, "Humm". Think on these things before you say, "I do". Think on a resolve before the wedding day.

A Life Time Of Health
Many people want to have good health, but they just are not there. They talk about good health, and they wish for it constantly. It seems that having the health that most people desire is something that escapes their grasps often. I like to use my blog to give insight and also gain a bit from the comments that may be posted. My usual mode of operation on my blog is one where I scratch the surface with information as opposed to digging down deep. The purpose of this is to draw continued conversation, and we can then get deeper based on your commentary.
I would like to give you (The Reader) the Big Al perspective on gaining total health. Most people think that total health is eating your basic food groups , and seeing your medical doctor on a regular basis. It is not. The human being is called a "being" because "being" means the state of something. It means the existence of a thing. To be human is a state of being. That state of being is what we are and who we are (Who we be). We are a tripartite being. God called the tripartite a human. If the human does not understand his state of being, he cannot understand his or her existence. The human is a spirit. This is who you are, if you are a human reading my article. The spirit has a soul . That spirit that has a soul, lives in a physical body. God designed the Earth so that a being had to have a body in order to operate with authority in the Earth realm. Even the Word of God had to be wrapped in flesh before gaining the ability to do business here. I said that my purpose is to stay on a surface level of understanding, so let me explain why knowledge of your true self is important. It affects how you act and react to all things
The knowledge that I am tripartite being guides me to a deeper understanding of how to satisfy my whole self. My concern should be for the greater health of my entire being. I should consider satisfying my spirit, my soul, and my flesh. If I leave one without attention, I am leaving a void (A hole in my soul. L.o.l) in that particular area. I need to feed my spirit, my soul, and my body. When all three are tended to, I am on my way to total health. We will talk more in depth about that next time.

The human being is called a "being" because "being" means the state of something. It means the existence of a thing. To be human is a state of being. That state of being is what we are and who we are (Who we be). We are a tripartite being. God called the tripartite a human. If the human does not understand his state of being, he cannot understand his or her existence. The human is a spirit. This is who you are, if you are a human reading my article. The spirit has a soul . That spirit that has a soul, lives in a physical body. God designed the Earth so that a being had to have a body in order to operate with authority in the Earth realm. Even the Word of God had to be wrapped in flesh before gaining the ability to do business here. I said that my purpose is to stay on a surface level of understanding, so let me explain why knowledge of your true self is important. It affects how you act and react to all things
The knowledge that I am tripartite being guides me to a deeper understanding of how to satisfy my whole self. My concern should be for the greater health of my entire being. I should consider satisfying my spirit, my soul, and my flesh. If I leave one without attention, I am leaving a void (A hole in my soul. L.o.l) in that particular area. I need to feed my spirit, my soul, and my body. When all three are tended to, I am on my way to total health. We will talk more in depth about that next time.

The Relationship Murderer
I have found homicides on many occasions. Men and women have had their hearts ripped out, and they had no self defense. I am simply talking about the death of relationships at rampant rates. Most people were not equipped to deal with the relationship before they got into it. Even college students have an orientation so that they stand a better chance against failure. Many readers view blogs and articles only soon enough to relate to the pain of it all. I say to the reader, "do something different than the actions that lead to you losing your love". Relax whatever pride is there, and look for new opportunity. Pride is the relationship murderer. I would caution people to rush back into turbulent waters with the same ship that was caught in the previous storm. Equip yourself to be better than you were. Invest in ideas, books, faith, or whatever it takes to be better. I have at least one recommendation. Check out this site (Save My Relationship)
If a financial guy says that you should diversify your financial portfolio, perhaps that advice can apply to certain aspects of your love life. Diversify the investment tools that you use to improve your love life. I am big on that kind of thing. Hopefully, you will be big on it too.
