Every year that passes we hear it again.   From the time of being a baby crawling around in diapears.   Through our teenage years and all thru our adult life, we hear it every year.  Happy Birthday!  At least…most people do, there are some unfortunate people who never get to hear it, but most of us have family and friends that care about us.   In that case, I suppose you could tell yourself Happy Birthday!   Of course…it just wouldn’t be the same.

No matter what though, birthdays are a important time of year for every individual, as it is the day they were brought into this world.   The day their bellies were severed from their mothers.  The day you first opened your eyes to the reality of this world.

Birthdays are usually considered to be YOUR special day.  The day you are King or Queen of your world and to all thats there for you.

That being said, if your reading this, this probably is your special day and I would like to wish you…a….  Happy Birthday to you!

Why is it that human souls are tortured and tormented by demons?  Didn’t the demons commit the biggest crime against God?   Angels are automatically in heaven, humans have to earn their right to be in heaven.

Lucifer and 1/4 of the angels in heaven rebelled against God, Lucifer let pride get the best of him and rebelled against God IN HEAVEN!   When in heaven your surrounded by love.  God is love.  Yet in that environment Lucifer and his followers REBELLED and was cast out of heaven. Is this not the ultimate sin?  To actually rebel and attack God’s domain.  Is this not a bigger sin then murder, rape, lies, homosexuality or any sin a human could possibly do?

Yet the demons get to torment and punish human souls for all eternity and get joy out of it?  Shouldn’t it be the opposite way around and the human souls torture and torment the demons?   Human life is but a blink of an eye compared to angels, demons, satan and God.

What is 100 years to eternity?  Worst yet there is children in hell!  What is 10 years, 11 years to eternity?  NOTHING!  No comparison!  So a child is on this earth for a blink of an eye and because of a small sin committed in that short amount of time is subject to eternal torment and condemnation?   Is this God’s mercy?

According to near death experiences, A.K.A NDE’s Jesus denies and turns his back on the souls in hell who reach out and cry out to him for mercy.  Jesus tells them it is late.   It is late? How can it be late in eternity?!  Did not God create all that there is?  Should he not be able to do all things?  Why can God not show mercy upon souls in hell?  If he created these souls surely  he can destroy them.  Or better yet give them another chance or move them else where.

Mathew 25:41 “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels”     So from this scripture hell was made for Satan and his demons.   If this was the case then why are the odds stacked against us?

Why did God establish mankind on earth where Satan and his demons already resided?   Why is the gate to destruction wide and the path to eternal life narrow?  God created the gate to destruction to be wide because he expected many human souls to enter it as it says in the scripture many will enter it.  The Bible was written how many years ago?  So from the time the bible was written, God knew that many would enter the gate that leads to eternal destruction hence he made the gate to destruction WIDE.     Why does God allow demons to torment humans still alive, even children, to tempt people, to scare people, to possess people.

Why doesn’t God reveal himself to the masses so undeniable that people have no way to deny that he is real, would this not help more people to believe and change their ways?   God is omnipotent Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” (Revelation 19:6)    So since God is omnipotent, he can appear to human souls on the brink of death and give them the chance to repent, if God himself or Jesus were to reveal himself to people on their death bed urging them to repent or face eternal damnation wouldn’t more souls be saved?

What stops God all mighty from going into hell and setting all human souls free?  Would Satan be able to stop God almighty from setting the captives free?

I ponder these things and shake my head for I feel that God’s judgement is not fair.   For all praying warriors and all those that walk with the Lord and even prophets please help me to understand these things.

Basketball is a very simple game… sometimes people make it HARDER then it should be…example: The Chicago Bulls.

Always been my team growing up watching Chicago Bulls lead by Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.  One of the greatest teams of all time.

Fast forward to the playoffs of 2015 and Chicago Bulls are on vacation watching from home.  By the far the best team the Bulls have assembled since the dismantling of the fabled Jordan era.   The talent was there to go all the way shot blockers, rebounders, post game, outside shooting, mid range shooting, perimeter defenders, slashers, play makers, great passing big men.

What was lacking however…was execution.   Poor decision making, bad minute distribution, poor floor spacing, lack of player AND ball movement, lack of actual offensive plays.

If I were coach of the Bulls the game plan would be to let Snell and Butler be the primary defenders on Lebron, no double teaming unless a big can come over to help without giving up a easy layup.  Shut down the shooters, no space for them to breathe at all times and box out Triston Thompson.   Kyrie was limping so whoever Kyrie was guarding Rose or Brooks have them ATTACK Kyrie and make Kyrie chase them all over the court with and without the ball even encourage some crossovers here and there to put his feet and ankles to the test once and a while wear him down.

Lebron will get his points but just make him work on both ends of the floor.   Whoever Lebron is guarding needs to run all over the court and expend energy chasing thru screens on defense and then when he has the ball just do your best to keep your body between him and the basket and contest everything you can with minimal double teams.

While Gasol was able to play, space the floor well with shooters Noah top of the key and have Gasol post up and close to the basket as he possibly canTHEN get the ball to him, if he is doubled it is the man whose opens job to make himself available to were Gasol can see him and make the pass while everyone maintains proper spacing for easy passes while the defense may try to recover.

Most times Rose should just be Isolated and let him create off the dribble no screen needed especially against a hobbled Kyrie.   Give him the green light to attack unless the laned is closed make the smart decision to kick it out to the open man.  Rose can take his man off dribble finish and or make a play for his teammates and all his teammates have to do is get themselves in position to score.  Isolating Rose DOES NOT mean everyone stand and watch.  For example dunleavy can be in corner waiting for a kick out pass for a three but Noah roaming 10 to 12 feet from the basket outside the paint can come out set a pick for Dunleavy  and Dunleavy and run past the pick to the opposite corner for a simple catch and shoot.    Simple..basketball is simple why make it hard?

So many things the Bulls could do to generate high percentage shots instead of Rose pulling up for a contested three 2 feet beyond the arch or Rose dribbling the ball and everyone watching.  Just sad.

Triston Thompson should have been bodied and boxed out at all times to keep him off the glass as well as the their center.  Keep the center as far away from the basket as possible.   No space for the shooters to breathe and contest all their shots and the Bulls would have crushed this Cavs team.

The other concern I had was the minute distribution.  Why would anyone keep starters in the game when their team is up by 30 points in the fourth quarter with less then 10 minutes left?   This Bulls team was deep.  I’d have utilized every player as much as i could to keep players fresh, build stronger chemistry, and gain experience.   For example: whenever James Jones or Miller came on the floor I’d give Mcdermott the nod and tell him, stay on them, no space to shoot and contest everything.   Get yourself open, move without the ball catch and shoot, thats your job.

My final thought….all the Bulls teams Thibodeau coached played great defense, premeter and interior and moved with and without the ball and it was fun to watch.  Now the Bulls have a complete team and all that is gone.  Why?
