Lucky Sperm Club

Note: I would hope that everyone might visit my Words for the Day website, www.wordsfortheday.org There you can find a searchable database of all of the past WFTD since 2000; literally thousands of them. I have categories on many and a word search engine. You simply type in the subject or word for which you want to see more information, and it will pop up all WFTD written material concerning that subject in chronological order. If you search by category, it will display all WFTD written concerning that category.

I have also posted my personal testimony on it along with a charcoal rendering of me in the bad old days when I was a drug addict, (I was on LSD when the rendering was sketched). Feel free to share my testimony and website with others. Many thanks to Ken Ross for all of the hard work on the website, without his help I would not be very far along!


As a young person trying to work my way up through the corporate ladder, I admit that I was jealous of those to whom I referred as being a member of the “Lucky Sperm Club”; those people who had been born under the right star to the wealthy parents and had everything going for them. There was always some “Lucky Sperm Club” member ahead of me who had the right education, a shiny new car that was provided by daddy and mommy, the right set of golf clubs and membership at an exclusive country club where the boss liked to play golf with their dad, and invariably the right political connections to be assigned the sweet jobs, draw the big bucks, and get those promotions. Generally I had to work for one of those Bozos. Most were lazy and inept and it infuriated me to work around them; not only did they sit around all day without contributing as much as one original idea, but often they would take the credit for my ideas and/or hard work. G-r-r-r-r!!!

My recourse was to outwork everyone and to work smart. I did not have the education, the shiny car, the finesse, smooth political connections, and I wouldn’t have gotten out of the electric chair to play golf. (Pooh Pooh Pee Doo!) I was rough around the edges and used to accomplishing things through brute force when necessary, but I was as dedicated as they come and was always the first one there and the last to leave. My take no prisoners and accomplish my goal attitude was fierce and effective. My goal was always to find a better way of doing things. I assumed that if I could take a department and radically transform it for the better and save, or make the company more money, then I would personally succeed in spite of my exclusion from the “Lucky Sperm Club”. Corporate executives did like the “Lucky Sperm Club” members, but they liked making money for their companies more; consequently in my first real job opportunity, I was promoted eight times in just two years, invariably ahead of certified club members.

When I became an entrepreneur I used the same techniques to succeed. I worked very long hard hours and I worked smart. I defined clear objectives in writing and then I achieved them with reckless abandon. Foremost in my mind was to find a better way of doing things that would make money and not just try to replicate what someone else was doing. I actually invented quite a few products and developed various products to improve things in many different markets that people are using even as I write these words, and it is very rewarding. I have tried my utmost for decades to eliminate “Lucky Sperm Club” mentality from my companies’ executive management team, and open jobs up to those who could perform the duties the best, regardless of their standing in the community. It is what is between their ears and what they can accomplish that is interesting to me and not who their daddy is.

Jesus Christ was often criticized by the Pharisees and other rulers of the day for eating and spending time talking to ordinary people including sinners, tax collectors, Samaritans, and others who were not befitting according to a few. Jesus set the example that we are to follow. We should not turn up our nose at the poor, homeless, prisoners, disabled, and others who do not measure up to someone’s “Lucky Sperm Club” requirements.

All humanity was created by God and the very hairs on our heads are numbered. Jesus took the time to witness to these folks, heal them, feed them, and lovingly advise them in spiritual and other matters; what do you suppose we should do? Think about what you can do today to help someone that is not as fortunate as you.

If you are a member of the “Lucky Sperm Club”, count your blessings from God, revel in it, be glad, and figure out how you can use your good fortune to advance the work of the Lord by helping others and spreading the Gospel. God has given you the unique resources and ability to help large numbers of people in an intelligent and articulate way, not to mention financial; don’t waste it all on personal stuff.

We should always be cognizant that God is going to judge us all one day. We should all use our talents wisely in order that one day at the judgment He might tell us, “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”

Eccl.12:14
For God will bring every work
into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
