    Names like words mean something. Everyone’s name has a meaning, because they come from words. My psuedonym Mundy Writes Is from my favorite hobby writing and my last name.

    Cynicism Warning! Highly cynnical content to follow. You have been warned! Hello Readers, I used to think myself filled with wisdom from others on how to find good friends. I had rules in my life given to me by older men, women, and even some my own age with rules such as: This list was…

    “Having it all”, is to me the most ridiculous idea. People don’t realize that every asset becomes a liability with time and everything you introduce into your life has problems. Some people think of this as having glory by worship of men through whatever means they imagine to find it. Some people think that Honor…

    I have had one broken bone in my life. It was a result of a combination of poor choices. I decided to ride my bicycle 9 miles home, which was more like an hour and a half of riding. That wouldn’t have been so bad, but due to another poor choice I was wearing loafers.…

    I think of often the old German proverbs that are either ridiculous or are incorrect. Here are 10 German proverbs to get your feet wet. #1, Verschprechungen uberschneiden sich nie [commitments never conflict].

    Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” Sometimes it’s too easy to lose sight of where you plan on going, but not everything has to be that complex in life. Many guru’s have talked about having a five year, ten year, or you name it year plan…

    I think it shows from my blog that I am a very abstract human being with a wide range of skills and knowledge. I know a little bit about too many subjects for my own good, but when I am asked about subjects that I really want to discuss it always has to be understanding…

    The Word of God doesn’t tell us to be happy in all things, but in all things to give thanks (Ephesians 5:20, Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;). For many and in many instances people believe those to be identical, but the…

    Recently I think of all the negative changes that I have in my life, and this question is one of the more difficult to answer. Not necessarily that these choices are negative entirely, but that they have negative aspects and have involved loss. One of the most difficult things about those changes is the lack…
