” He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ” Quiet! Be still”. The wind ceased and there was a great calm, Then he asked them, ” Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith”?”.

Mk 4:39-40

When Jesus came to us and walked his path of this journey here with us, he was so calm always, but some never wondered of his calmness, with each turn along his path. Jesus was always calm with each step along his path simply because, he had total faith in his father, the creator of all Mankind, to provide him with the right tools needed to walk with confidence, so he could walk through any storm, to get to the calmness of the light on the other side. Faith is the keyword here, and faith is something we today have lost, through all the chaos around us today.

With all the chaos around us today, the clouds of our judgments have become really thick, so thick that we can not see clearly what is right in front of us. We overlook all the little things in life, then make like everything that we do see, is only for us ourselves, without giving a thought that, what may be in front of us, is also in front of all others around us. We have become so self-centered that, not only have we lost empathy for others, we have lost all faith in ourselves, as well as everything around us. Without any kind of faith, there is no confidence, and when we have no confidence, then whatever we may do will never be easy, as we think that we are totally alone, within this journey we walk.

Jesus Christ showed us many things as he walked this journey with us, the one thing that he showed us, that today we take so for granted is, to not only have faith in ourselves, but to have total faith in him, so we to can walk through this journey with the confidence he had, plus be as calm as he was while walking with the faith in his father. Without the confidence and the faith, you can see where that is taking us, we have become so consumed with the chaos, that we do not look at the little things anymore, and we look at everything around us as bigger than life, that will bring great pain and hurt, to which we then fear everything that will come before us along our paths of this journey.

When we walk our paths of this journey as Jesus showed us, we can truly see that we all walk the same journey, just different paths. We will also see that, when we have empathy for each other, we then will help each other, without even thinking about it. When we help one another, this is where the confidence in what we do comes to us, this is how we learn from the little things, so everything else does not surprise us and bring us pain and hurt. Yes, we will go through many storms in this journey, but with the faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, the storms will pass, bringing us to the other side, within the light and away from the darkness of the storm.

Sometimes the dark clouds above us will seem so thick, and seem like they will never end? This is where our faith in ourselves and in Jesus needs to be at its strongest, Without faith, we will never get to the light, we will never have any confidence, which then leads us to great pain and bitterness along the paths we walk of this journey. We then let the doubt of all things around us, which then leads us into the power of denial, that then strips us of who we truly are. Yes, the grip of denial is very powerful, and it will control every fiber of your mind, body, and soul, but when we have the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, then the doubt and the denial of the storm above us, will never last, as the dark clouds above us, become thinner and the light starts to shine through them, that then leads us to the path of righteousness, that Jesus showed through this journey.

When the dark clouds are so thick above us, and we have lost all faith, we know become all wrapped up deep within ourselves, and never put forth our hands, to give anyone around us something to hold on to, as they try to pull us from the storm that surrounds us along our path. We are so deep within ourselves, that we see nothing or no one that may be around us. As we are deep within ourselves, yes we may cry, but because we are so deep, the tears fill up all the cracks around us, and we may seem like we are drowning? The wet tears may not have a place to go away from us, only because we hold them back, which then make it seem like the waters of the storm, are violently attacking us, which make it seem like there is no end to the storm? Only when we keep the faith in ourselves, as well as Jesus Christ, do we find that the tears will flow away from us, which help us extend our hand, so the hand of another can and will, pull us from the storm and help us into the light, leaving the storm behind us, as we move forward along our path, through this journey of life.

There will be other smaller journeys within this bigger journey of life, these are the journeys that help us with our faith and our confidence, like for instance, climbing that mountain before us. Sometimes when the weather becomes bad, that has the mountain within the darkest of the clouds, it is the faith and the confidence that tells you to hike another day, but with no faith or confidence, you will proceed up the mountain, within the strongest part of the storm, that they can and will, lead you to much pain and hurt before you. Because of the lack of faith and confidence, you have then put yourself into more troubling times, which now your better judgment becomes clouded, with much doubt and denial. The mountains will always be there, so when they become socked in from the dark clouds of the storm, then hike another day, so you can be rewarded with great views of the better day, be rewarded with a clear day within the light, as the darkness of clouds, are nowhere near, making for a quiet path, through this journey of life. Each reward that comes to us will bring us not just the faith and confidence in ourselves, but the faith and confidence in Jesus Christ as well, so we all can walk through the darkness of the storm, to get to the light on the other side, which is the peace and happiness, that Jesus showed us along his journey.

” With true faith and confidence, the darkness of the storm will never last, as the light will always light up the end of the storm as we move forward”

” Without any faith or confidence, the clouds become thicker and darker as they consume us dearly, into the power of doubt and denial”

” Here we spend our time, and what we see”

” What we think about matter”

Psalm 119:37

Corinthians 10:5

It is the many smaller journeys, within this bigger journey called Life, that make us up to be who we are? The Perspectives, the visions, the way we take actions from what we see, to inmplement them in our own way, this not only forms who we become, but what we tend to forget is, it forms many others around us, whether in a negative way, or a positive way.

We are all within this broken society today simply because, we in one way shape or form, have failed each other with our own actions. We have lost sight of one of the biggest conmandments that Moses, brought forth to each of us, from our Father, and the creator of all the beauty around us, ” Love Thy Neighbor”. We do not even know our neighbors anymore, let alone a simple hello in passing, we all move around like we are the creator’s? Like we own everything around us, and are entitled to everything around us? Yes God created all this for us to enjoy, but to enjoy with each other in harmony, without trying to attack and kill each other. Until the day comes that we all get back to who we truly are, we may never get back to a good and healthy society, it all starts with the actions of each one of us, as we move forward within our own journeys, of this journey thru life.

This journey through life has much beauty for us all to see, but when we keep the current actions we are taking, all this beauty will turn to ugliness all around us. Now I get the fact that each society throughout this journey will grow from one to another, but when they do grow and when they are taught the wrong things, from the wrong actions, this is where we have gone so wrong. Plus the fact that we of this society are so far removed from the time when, Jesus Christ came to us and walked this journey with us, has led us away from the house of God, and so far away that, there are some who just do not believe, or have formed their own Idealologies about the son of man. Well!!! Unlike the so-called media of today, I have a real news-flash for you, without the belief in Jesus Christ, you can not have any faith, which then leads to no hope.

Faith in anything is key to us walking our paths confidently, to be better and stronger. With faith in our selves, we then can keep moving forward, without stepping backwards into the unknown, and with that faith, we than can have great hope, that helps us to not just be who we are, but succeed in everything we set out to do, as we walk our paths of this journey. Now some in this society who have no faith in anything, will try to bring their inabilities to the rest of us? Then say that, you need to do as I say, because it is the only way? Some and because of their inabilities, will try to wreak all the power over us, so they can seem ( only to themselves), as the most powerful over all others. Then you have the ones that, just simply go with the flow, as to not bring any unwanted pain and hurt, let alone anything that takes away their comfort. People today fear so much of all ugliness and hatred out there, that they forget how to actually take a stand to it, how to look the fear in the eyes, so they can end that fear around them, so they keep to the status Quo, cause they fear more of the actions that may come to them.

We need to change our actions we take toward each other, we attack each other at every turn, this is not what Jesus taught us within his journey here, some will be Politically correct to your face, then stab you in the back when you turn from them? These actions only promote more ugliness and hatred, we need to get back to ” Love Thy Neighbor”, so we then can get back to, our true feelings and emotions, show more love and empathy of each other, then we can actually take the right steps moving forward, of how to make not only this society better and stronger, but make ourselves better and stronger, as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

With each little journey within this bigger journey, there is so much beauty around us, there is so much to truly see of what God created for us, the only way to truly see it is, we need to step out of our comfort zones, step out of our in actions, and get back to our true actions, get back to who we truly are, get back into the house of God, so we can truly feel the blood of Jesus Christ warm our hearts and flow freely within our bodies. When the blood of Jesus flows within us, we then will have the empathy of one another, so we than can get away from the ugliness and hatred, as we move forward within the proper changes, for us all to be better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life, within the peace and joy, that Jesus showed us as he walked this journey with us.

” The many journeys within this bigger journey, are what shapes us into who we truly are”

” Change is all around us throughout this journey, it is how we accept and adapt to the change, that shapes us into who we are”

His most precious Blood

” Jesus Christ, loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood”

Revelation 1:5

” The blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses, from all sins”

1 John 1:7

Even the very wealthy J. P. Morgan had found that, he to was powerless and just as dependant as the rest of us, on the mercy of God. What we take so for granted of today, is that no matter how rocky, or how uneven the land is, it is perfectly level when we all walk together in unity, especially when we walk within the faith of Jesus Christ, so we can feel the blood of our savior passing through our hearts, and throughout our bodies.

When we walk through the doors of the house of God, we all enter equally in guilt and full of sin, we all then leave equally forgiven and free. That same blood of Jesus Christ, is the blood that cleanses us and flows freely within our hearts, leaving us within the true faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, so we all can have the hope moving forward, to achieve all we can, throughout this journey of life.

Somewhere throughout this journey, we have become separated from the love of Jesus Christ, yes he did come walk this journey with us, just that in this society, some just can not truly believe. There will be much change that will come to us all throughout this journey, this change can and will change each one of us for better or worse, it will bring much pain to us as well, but if we do not except and adapt to the change correctly, then the change will always change us for the worse, bringing a pain so deep, that we will hurt deeply, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

Within the faith in Jesus Christ, he then will bring us the hope, so we can except and adapt to all the change correctly, as we move forward instead of stepping backwards into the fires of Hell. We lose sight of where we are gong, when we don’t glance back at where we have been, seen what was good and bad back then, so we than can make the necessary adjustments, fix what we need to fix, as we then move forward, without repeating what was wrong and continuing it. This is what’s wrong in todays society, as some take away the past, just to keep all the control of today. These same ones are the ones who have buried the blood of Jesus, making their hearts cold, just as Satan has transformed them.

The great outdoors and walking through nature, is the best way to not only listen and feel the hearbeat of the Earth, it is a great way to get back in touch with the love of Jesus, as he unleashes the flow of his blood, back within your heart, so you can feel the true feelings all around you. Getting back within mother nature, is getting back in touch with the faith in Jesus Christ, as well as getting back the faith in yourself, with this faith, there will always be great hope for us all moving forward, so we can prosper and grow correctly, as we walk our paths through this journey of life, to be within the peace of the Lord, and the joy we all so look for. Then when we are all on the same page, and come together in unity, we will find that there is nothing that will ever try to derail us again.

We may not see Jesus, but he is always there and will never leave us. It is we the people that, with our actions, make it like Jesus does not exist. When we lose the true faith, there will never be any hope, no matter how much we try otherwise. Jesus will send us his signs, but when we neglect to see them, this is the start of our hearts turning cold. when the warmth within our hearts goes away, this should be a red flag to us all, as this is the biggest sign Jesus sends us, so we can make the necessary changes moving forward. The signs of Jesus Christ are all around us, we just have to refocus our minds, so we can truly see these signs, as we move forward along our paths, of this journey through life, to be better and stronger, within the peace and joy of Jesus Christ, as he brings us to the path of righteousness, and cleanses us of our sins, with his own blood.

” The heart is warmed from the love of Jesus, so his blood can pass through it as well as our bodies”

” The cool carm serenity of the great outdoors, will help heal your mind, body and soul”

” In all these things we are more than Conquerors through him who loved us”

Romans 8:37

” Resist the Devil and he will flee from you, draw near to God and he will draw near to you”

James 4:7-8

Thought of the day:

When Jesus came and walked his journey with us, he taught us how to be conquerors so the victory can be ours. When the blood of Jesus flows freely through our hearts, this draws us nearer to God to enjoy his protection, and we no longer need to fear the enemy.

Just as the day time sky gives way to the night sky, the good gives way to evil. The daytime may give way to the darkness for a short time, the evil can be the same, only sometimes we let it linger longer than it needs to. When we give into the temptation of Satan, the evil will then seem so strong, we get lost within the darkness. Sometimes we get caught up in the darkness around us, and with so much of it, we try to avoid it by hiding deep within ourselves. We forget that through the darkness there will always be the light of goodness. But as we hide within, we lose sight of where we are going and become lost as we walk through this journey of life.

True at times the darkness will seem stronger then anything we have seen, but the reality is, we forget that the goodness will always conquor the evil and the light will return to us all. While the darkness consumes us, sometimes other forces come into play, these forces will try to control every fiber of our being, and they will if we do nothing and let them, which is why we must never lose the faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, so we all can have the hope, that we will get through the darkness, to once again be within the light of the good moving forward along this journey.

We all have this inner child within us, this child also needs to grow in a healthy way, just as we on the outside. When this inner child gets neglected, its kind of like a young child gets neglected within society, they do not grow properly, which then leads to a lot of issues later in life. When we become so troubled, we then put up these walls and let no one inside of the walls, even if that one is there to help? Once these walls go up, then we will never see any light, as the darkness goes wherever we go? This will make us all ripe for the pickings of Satan and all evil to control everything about us. The pain of this darkness becomes so painful, we will then do anything to rid ourselves from it, which means we will bury our true selves, then portray this fake self to all those around us, and as we portray this fake self, we then bury our true feelings and emotions very deep within, so that the blood of Jesus will not flow through our hearts, turning it so cold, that we feel nothing for anyone or anything around us.

Just as Jesus resisted the temptation of Satan, we to can resist the temptation as well. We need to stay strong to who we are, never bury our feeling and emotions, and always look all fear in the eyes, so that fear then melts away from us. When we put up these walls we will never face any fear head on, we will always take the easy way out and become someone we truly are not. There is no fear that is stronger then any of us, we only make it look strong as we give into it and let it totally control who we are. This includes the power of Addiction, yes an addiction is very powerful, but when we let it control us and not stand up to it, then like fear it will conquor us and take us deeper into the darkness, with zero light anywhere in front of us.

Sometimes we need to change what we are doing, in order to get to who we truly are, and for some that may seem harder then walking through a brick wall, but in a lot of ways, we are walking through that brick wall, as we have put up the wall to begin with. True there will be much pain to fix what we need in order to get to who we are, but that pain is nothing to the pain of not being of who we are, just that we have numbed ourselves so much from the pain, we do not feel it anymore. We feel nothing from anything, when we try to move forward without our true feelings and emotions, but there is no better feeling in the world, when we are true to ourselves, have complete faith in ourselves and in Jesus Christ, which then gives us hope to be whatever we want along this journey. When we resist the temptation of Satan, then Jesus will always be with us and guide to the path of righteousness, his blood will warm our hearts as it flows freely within us, his love will always be within us, so we can share that love with each other, and yes it is also okay to cry, as the tears are what heals us from our pain moving forward, just like mother nature rains on the earth, washing away the dirt and bringing out the flowers of life.

We may walk our own paths through this journey of life, but the journey is the same for each of us. We grow and heal in our own ways, but when we resist the temptation of Satan, Jesus will always be by our side as we walk our paths, its the faith that shows us that and brings us all the hope we need moving forward. The darkness does not have to be around long, which will give us all true light throughout this journey, as we see clearly of where we are going, with no obstructions to slow or stop us, and we move forward in the peace of Christ, with joy at every turn.

” The day sky gives way to the night sky, just as the darkness looms over us, the true light will always be around the next corner”

” We only fear the enemy because we let temptation control us and move further away from the power of Jesus Christ”

Happy Birthday to the Catholic Church

” Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed”

Romans 12:2

” I have set before you life and death****therefore choose life”

Deuteronomy 30:19

Thought of the day:

As the first church was created, the world was upside down. the imprisonments, deaths and ugliness were overwhelming, Jesus Christ hoped to change our world? but how can we really change when, we are deeply afraid to take a stand or even, to stand out?

There are many bridges and cross roads throughout this journey of life, the thing is, the bridges break down over time, the cross roads with so much traffic, become riddled with ruts and grooves, that can get us all twisted and bruised. We all want everything handed to us today, nobody wants to work for anything anymore, which makes for the bridges not being attended to, or the cross roads not being groomed as well. Back about 2,000 years ago as the Catholic Church was created, that society back then was just as bad as this society today, the big difference is, the technology we have today. Now with technology, it was suppose to make life easier for us all? but in a lot of ways it has complicated life in so many ways, and in ways we truly do not understand.

We the people are what’s wrong in this society and we the people can fix it moving forward. In a lot of ways we all think we are better and smarter than each other, which leads to much head butting, and we as a society not coming together in unity. For instance, when something gets invented you go through a series of experiments, you go through multiple think tanks with many others, you just can’t invent something thinking this is the change all, without getting out all the bugs and issues. Nothing is perfect, not even we the people, as much as some may think they are?

When Jesus came to us and walked this journey through life with us, he taught us many things, he showed us of how not to just be a fishermen, but to be a Fisher of Men. he showed us how to treat each other with respect, so we than can show our love and empathy to each other. He protected us from the evil, while showing us how to resist temptation, as he himself resisted the temptation from Satan. We in this society and because many of us have forgotten what the inside of the house of God looks like, and in many ways given into the temptation of evil and Satan, we have buried our true feelings of love and empathy, as to try to protect ourselves from all evils, which does nothing except, makes our hearts go cold, and stops the heart from letting the blood of Jesus Christ flow freely throughout our bodies. We of this society today, think very strongly that, we know more than all others, which because of this mindset, has lead all into the path and destruction that Satan wants, as we all have gone in the other direction of what Jesus wants for us all.

Change is good, change can be difficult and bring much pain, but if we do not adapt to the change, then we as a society will never see the light at the end, as we all stay within the darkness of Satan and all it’s ugliness it brings. Satan wants us all to be hateful of each other, as this is what divides us moving forward, hate is a learned thing and we have learned it from somewhere? We need to find where we learned it, so we can unlearn it and get back to true love. Everything around us will change constantly, even we ourselves will go through many changes as we walk our paths, we will go through many changes throughout this journey, but if we never adapt to the change, then we will never fully walk any path we choose, along this journey of life.

The Catholic Church was created to give us a place to worship, a place to go listen to the words of God, so we can implement them within our lives? But as time passes and we change and in some ways for the worse, then everything around us becomes diluted with we not being true to ourselves or even true to Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church is a place we go to keep the faith in Jesus as well as ourselves, so when there is faith, there will always be hope moving forward. When we keep the faith in Jesus and ourselves, no matter what this journey may throw at us, we will always walk our paths with confidence, as we never lose site of the light from the path of righteousness, which keeps those dark days to a minimum, like the night giving way to the daytime.

The Catholic church is no different than anything else along this journey, it has gone through many changes from when it was created, which is what makes it successible like we ourselves, to the changes of life. The church in a lot of ways has given into the temptations of Satan, with all the power, control and greed, which has had it lose sight of the true words of Jesus Christ and then interpreting them to you and I as they see fit. Yes they have had some scandels in the past, and some of these scandels has led us away from the church, maybe if these scandels were handled better and in a way like Jesus handled the temptations from Satan, then our faith would be alot better, leaving us with better hope moving forward.

Sometimes through change things become frazzled and out of focus, when this happens, sometimes it is best to go back to basics, to move forward even stronger. Some in this society want to take away all the history, to give you nothing to glance back at, so you can fix what you need to fix, they want you to become so dependent on them, that you then do not walk a path through this journey for yourself anymore, and now you have become the sheep within the herd, for the small majority of shepards in this world. When we all come together in unity, when we all get back to truly being of who we are, when we all get back to the faith in Jesus Christ as well as ourselves, this is how we get back to truly feeling the love and empathy within us, as the hate and the ugliness find they can not affect us anymore, when we then as Jesus did many times, resist the temptations of evil, so we all then can see the true hope in front of us, as we walk our paths in peace, and find much joy throughout this journey of life.

” The Philosophy of life is really very simple, just that we the people have twisted in so many ways that we have become out of focus from it”

” The bridge over troubles waters have become frazzled and in need of a fixing to keep all moving forward without falling to the peril below”

The greatest security is the home within Heaven

” Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head”

Matthew 8:20

” He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”

Psalms 91:1

Thought of the day:

Security is a big deal, it’s why we seek committed relationships, or high paying jobs. That’s also why it’s devastating when spouses leave and jobs are eliminated. Christ is the only true source of security, he will never leave you, or forsake you.

This journey through life we all walk a path within, is very much the same journey that Jesus Christ walked, when he came to us all. I get the fact that some will not truly believe in the son of man, they think it is just a myth, only because we are so far removed from this time, and the fact we of this time haven’t physically seen him, just we can not find the faith to truly believe. Very true that many of us have totally forgotten of what it looks like in the house of God, but you really do not have to walk in through the doors, simply because, if you have the true faith in Jesus Christ, he then lives within you, he gives you the faith in yourself, so you can achieve anything you set out to do. These days we live our lives on the exterior, but when that exterior is taken from us, like our jobs, or relationships, then we become extremely insecure in all we do, we lose faith in moving forward along our paths, then simply wander aimlessly throughout this journey.

Now with all the technology out there, yes there will be many security breaches, but when you truly believe in the faith of Jesus Christ, truly feel his love within your heart, there is nothing or anybody that can breach that security from you. I get the fact that we all want that someone special at our side, but with all the change that happens around us, with the way we change in our own ways, the only real security we can have is, with we ourselves, as we have total faith in ourselves like we do in Jesus. Is there really a such thing as a dream job? Within the way things change around us, there is no set dream job, job security is a thing of the past, as all the companies go through their changes, with these changing times. Each company has an image to portray, and if you do not portray that image, then its not worth your time to pursue that company, no matter how bad you want that job. Sometimes a job you think is not that glorious, ends up being just as glorious as the job that rejected you for an image.

We all in a way, within this society have become so fake, we will put forth a form of fake self toward others in order to try to be excepted by them, but at what cost does this practice really take? Because when we can’t even except ourselves for who we truly are, then how can all others truly except us as well? If we only put the effort in that we do for portraying our fake selves, just imagine how perfect this world would be, if we all put in the same effort, to be who we truly are? Just maybe this world would have more peace, happiness and love within it, as we walk through this journey.

This journey from beginning to end is all the same for each of us, just like we are all equal to each other, but just like we are unique to each other, this journey is unique as well, with the many paths within it for us all to choose from. Now as we choose which path we want to walk, when we do so with the total faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, there will never be a wrong path, but when the faith is not there, then neither is the hope as we try to move forward within this journey. With no faith and no hope, we will never be secure in what we do, without any security as we walk our paths, this is where all the chaos and the ugliness will come to us, the problem then is, we will never see clearly along our paths, as the clouds from the chaos, become so dark, we will see no light anywhere on the path.

This society is so screwed up, that we think if we have all the money, then all our issues will go away? Money may buy all your material things, which gives you the fake feeling of security, but take away all the material things, take away all the money, and let’s see just how happy you can be? Within the true faith in yourself and in Jesus Christ, this is all the happiness you truly need, as now you can be truly of who you are, without making a conceded effort, to keep this fake self going. Being fake only breeds all insecurities, and when we put forth this fake self, not only are we not being true to one another, now we can not trust one another, which then leads into the lack of respect as well. All the ingredients we are all seeing around us now, the way we change this is, we all have to start being true to ourselves, start being true to who we are, then all the security we need, will be back within us. The security of knowing Jesus Christ is within us, the security that the faith in ourselves and in Jesus, is warming our hearts, so his blood can flow freely within us, which then gives us hope in all we do. With this kind of security, then we all can walk our paths in peace and joy, throughout this journey of life.

” We may leave our homes and our material things behind as this journey ends, but our true homes are within heaven with our faith in Jesus Christ”

” Without any security then we walk aimlessly through this journey, when we feel secure now we walk with a purpose”

Its all about an Agenda

” An agenda is something that keeps us informed and tuned into what is going on around us, it is not about shoving your ideologies in the face of others, just to keep the fear factor going throughout a society”

***BowlingChef***

We all have our agendas that keeps us going as we walk our paths through this journey, yes we set our own agendas, but what we forget is, one agenda that is good for some, may not be at all good for others. We live in a screwed up society today, a society that has lost its way and forces what they think is right, down the throats of others. The main player in this world of agendas are the far left liberal media, they have their agendas with the main agenda being, to keep the fear factor alive within the lives and at the cost of all of us within this society. The other players are, our so-called leaders within the walls of Washington DC. These Individuals have their agendas as well, and we the people are never in any thought of these agendas, and if you think otherwise? Then you are only fooling yourself to think differently.

I put these two pictures here for a reason, yes one is out of focus, but both are of the same thing, so as one being out of focus, will bring out the point I am making. The good agendas will always be clear for us all to see without any issue, as the out of focus one is how we view all the sick twisted agendas, that the media tries to jam down our throats everyday.

I was watching an episode of Law and Order and as the show shifts to the courtroom, the first thing they do are the opening arguments, we all know what the Lawyers are trying to do here, the Prosecution is trying to convict, and the Defense is trying to get their client off with as little damage as they can, we all know this. But!!! Each of these Lawyers basically have their agenda, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve that agenda. One will damage the other and they do not care how much? Well in that episode the Defense lawyer was simply playing the ” race” card in favor of his client, This got me thinking……if the ” race” card gets played in a courtroom, then what’s to stop it from being played within this society, just to achieve an agenda? This card gets played every single day all around us all, it is an agenda that is so sick and twisted, that it has this society becoming sick and twisted as well. This card has been played in all other societies as well, just that within this society, with all the different platforms and technology out there, we have made this card bigger than it has ever been. We the people are the fault of this, as we get so wrapped up within all the different agendas around us.

I get the fact that we all move forward with our own agendas, but what I don’t get is, why do we need to bring ” race” into the agenda? We all who walk this journey are Human Beings, true there are many different varieties of we as Humans, whether color of skin, religion, or even nationality, this is what makes us all unique to each other. We all bleed the same blood, we have hearts, eyes, mouths, hands, etc… But we have become that stupid that we have to turn a simple thing like an agenda, into something that turns us all against one another and this is sad of us all. I remember the days of walking down the street and saying a simple thing like hello, and getting the same back, this does not happen anymore, I first blame each of us for letting it happen, but the real culprit is the left liberal media and all their sick twisted agendas, that have turned us all against one another, so they can seem like they are more powerful than all else. We the people can end this and we do know how, just that we have bought into the fear that the media has brought us to.

Now it’s not just the media who has their agendas that we fear, it’s the politicians who try very hard for all the power, control and greed of us all, then there are the Corporations as well, we the people are the little guy in this fight, but just like when David slew the Giant, we to can come out on top if we do it correctly? The first thing we need to do is, get rid of all these ” race” card type agendas, start uniting and working together, so we can show those in the left liberal media, that their agendas have zero affect on us, stop listening to all the propaganda out there, and step outside to simply say hello to your neighbor, they way it used to be in years gone by. They want us to fear our neighbors, which is the start of the ” fear” agenda, but if we look the fear in the eyes, then the fear can not hurt us.

This society may be broken, but this society can always be saved, especially when we all unite together, and put an end to all the sick twisted agendas, so we all can get back to truly walking our paths in peace, as we live this journey in happiness, without the media, the politicians and the Corporations, shoving their agendas down our throats at every turn. No matter who you are, where you are from, or the color of your skin, we are all equal to one another, we are unique to each other and we bring different qualities to each other, just that the so-called powers to be, don’t want us to think like this, cause it will strip them of all their power, giving that power right back to we the people. This is how you fix this society for the better, so we all can be better and stronger, as we walk our paths, through this journey of life.

” Back in years gone by, we used to play in the same sand box no matter who you were? Now we fear who is getting into the box so much that we do not step inside anymore”

” When you see something out of focus, then it is time to adjust your settings, so what you see becomes clear once again”

” A society that is troubled and scorned, is a society that is in need of a major fix so all within the society can be at peace once again”

The many journeys

” We all walk a path through this journey of life, we tend to forget that along the path are many smaller journeys that make up the bigger journey for us to be better and stronger moving forward”

***BowlingChef***

We all have our own likes and dislikes, and the only way for us to find out what they are, is to explore everything around us, so we can find out just what those likes and dislikes really are. There are so many things to chat about in order to determine what you like or dislike? The only one that can determine this, is you yourself. others may support you, or they may guide you, but ultimately, it is you, who truly knows what you like or dislike, as others can only speculate, or simply just give you ideas.

Yes we all walk this big journey called life, but within this journey are so many paths to choose from, we can become so overwhelmed, that quite frequently we will choose the wrong path, and as we keep choosing many paths, can and will become so lost within this big journey, that we then stop walking and start wandering, with no true direction of where we are going? It is okay to explore other paths, as this is the way we find what is the true path for us, not everybody will walk the same path, as we all have very different likes and dislikes. Yes we need to explore each path to find out if it is the right path, but when we get to deep into the path and lose sight of how to get back to the crossroad that turned us down this path, now we become lost along this journey, as now the clouds of our judgments have clouded what is in front of us.

This journey through life will also throw us curve balls, it will also have these life events that come to us. These events are very different to each of us, they are also either very hard to deal with or very miniscule and easy to deal with, yes they can control us as well, and when we let them control us, now we become someone for who we truly are not. These life events are part of life and yes they can come to us by another, who want nothing but to control us moving forward. So as you become lost within this journey, the only way to truly find your way back, is to keep exploring other paths, and stop hiding within yourself, for this does nothing but keep you wandering, without truly walking a path of this journey through life.

Everybody has their own way of dealing with the ups and downs this journey brings to us, some may find different ways to explore and clean the cobwebs that life will bring to us, for me, I love the outdoors and exploring all it has, plus the getting away from the rat race for even a short time, helps with the healing of the mind, body and soul. Mother Nature has her way of giving you a different outlook of what is around you. It is when you do not explore what life has out there, now you continue down a path, that is not really for you, and you then become bitter and unhappy, as you walk through this journey. The more bitter you become, the more hatred you develop, as you can clearly see all the hatred within this society we all walk our paths within.

Hiking, off grid camping, kayaking, these are great outlets to totally relax and clear the cobwebs, now true some may not like these, but there are so many more outlets, you just have to explore and find the right outlet for you. These outlets will help us refocus, determine things we have forgotten about, so we can get to truly of who we are, then get back to walking with confidence, along the path of this journey through life. Now some may not want us to remember any history, but it is the history we need to remember, so we don’t repeat it moving forward, plus it is the history, that helps us glance back and fix what we need to fix, as we move forward better and stronger, while we escape within Mother Nature and heal ourselves, not too mention, look at all the true beauty all around you.

Look out into the horizon, it may seem endless at first glance, but as we grow and learn correctly along this journey, we find many horizons for us to explore. Whether your looking at a horizon from the top of a mountain, as you paddle a kayak along the river, or maybe sit along the sandy shoreline and staring into the ocean, the place we look into the horizon may be different, as each path we walk, but the horizon is all the same, just like this journey through life we all walk together. There are so many similarities all around us, but if we do not truly see them, then all will always be different, no matter how we look at them. When your path is full of bumps that will bruise you and leave a scar, it becomes all about how you get up from the fall, dust yourself off, heal the bruises correctly, so you than can move forward better then you were. Some may get right back up like nothing happened, while others either never get up, or take a very long time to get up, it is not about the time it takes you to get up, it is about how you get up from the fall, how you stay true to who you are, without hiding within yourself, and never really reaching your true potential.

There are so many little journeys within the even bigger journey we all walk, the key, is for us all to explore and find the right one that best fits us, then excel within that journey, so we can be truly of who we are, so when we walk our path we choose, we actually do the work of clearing that path of the obstructions, so we can move forward better and stronger, within the peace and happiness we all so need and deserve, as we walk through this journey of life.

” This journey comes with many ups and downs that will knock you down and bruise you, which then makes it of how you pick yourself up and heal from the bruises of life”

” Just as you look deeply into the Abyss, look deeply into the horizon and ask yourself, of just how to get to that point and explore all that comes before you”

The many Vines throughout the journey of life

” I am the true vine, and my father is the vine grower”

JN 15:1

” If you keep my Commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my father’s commandments and remain in his love”

JN 15:10

There are many vines throughout this journey of life, these vines will come in various shapes and sizes. Now some may relate to a vine growing a fruit on them, like a grape or a raspberry? But the vines will grow many things on them, so they can flourish and prosper. Tree’s are a form of a vine with many branches, for the many various leaves that will grow upon them. We ourselves are the branches of life, starting from the foundation of a mother and father, expand out into the branches, and then growing it’s own fruit, so the vines of life can keep flourishing, to be better and stronger as each society grows and keeps moving forward.

With all the dead wood we see all around, goes to show that yes, there needs to be death, so that life can continue. For every dead branch that falls to the ground, there are many more new and fresh branches just beginning their journey. With the new branches, comes new fruit to make the branches stand out from each other, we to are like the branches, as there are no two branches alike, there are no two of us alike as well. The problem then lies with each of us, simply because we let ourselves get so caught up with all the ugliness and chaos, we then forget to see all the true workings and the beauty, throughout this journey of life.

The tree’s that sprout the branches that grow the fruit upon them, can grow anywhere, just as we can grow anywhere and become anything, or anyone we want to be, then as we bear the beautiful fruit from our labor, will show just how diverse we really are. No matter where you look throughout this journey, there is diversity at every turn, just that we tend to overlook the diversity, as we get too involved with the ugliness around us.

We all think that we are better than each other, we all try so hard to get ahead of each other, that we forget to just simply walk the path we chose, so we can groom it and take out the obstructions, to move forward better and stronger. We each have a job to do within this journey, but we have all become so lazy, that we have wandered away from doing that job. Just as Jesus taught us when he walked his path here with us, when we walk together in harmony, while sharing our love with each other, this journey will reward us with great beauty, it will reward us with much prosperity as well, so we all can walk our paths in peace, while we move forward in this journey with happiness, as we all make strides toward the path of righteousness, just as Jesus showed us while he was here, and still shows us, with the signs he sends us, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” There are many different kinds of vines in this journey, with each one bringing it’s own beauty to the forefront”

” The branches and the limbs always have a strong foundation, so they can showcase the fruits that they will later produce”

” Diversity is everywhere and all the fruits on all the branches drive home that point with all the true beauty all around us”

Don’t forget the soap

” Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?… He who has clean hands and a pure heart”

Psalm 24:3-4 RSV

Hope for the day;

Defeating an earthly enemy will never bring peace, creating the devastating weapon doesn’t prove strength. People who learn to wait on the Lord will be the ones who experience perfect peace, and a strength that doesn’t fade regardless of world events.

We the people of this society have become so clouded within our own heads that, our judgments of all we do has become so tainted, that we simply can not judge properly anymore. We have slipped into the world of denial, this is a world that, when it grabs a hold of you, it is very hard to escape it’s clutches. This is a world that, you lose touch with all the reality around you and replace it with, all the lies and untruths, so that we ourselves can try to move forward along our paths, as if there is nothing wrong. Denial is a very powerful source and there is nothing it can not control, true we ourselves may think nothing will control me? Denial will control you, as quick as you can read this sentence. Just like anything that may cross our paths, when we take the right actions, stay true to who we are, have complete faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, then we will always have the strength to fight off whatever that may come to harm us.

We are all in a sad state right now within this society, there are some who so badly want all the power, control and greed of us all, that they will do anything to get it. They are turning us all into the sheep with all their twisted agendas, then when you go against them, they make you out to be the black sheep, for all others to throw stones at. There are plenty of life events for us to get through along this journey, what we do not need is, for others to be throwing stones and stopping us from moving forward, to be better and stronger with each step. We all will struggle with our issues as they come to us, and yes these issues will try to control us as well, what we do not need are others, because of the actions of the powers to be tell them, to throw stones and look at us as the black sheep of this society.

Time to step out of your comfort zone, time to get back to walking your path with confidence, time to wake up out of the denial, get past the black clouds hovering above your head, so not only you, but we all can get back to the peace and serenity, that this journey through life has for us all. The more we stay hidden within, the more some will keep trying to control each one of us. Just like when the Bully terrorizes us, the best way to stop that Bully is to stand up to him, look him deep within the eyes, and put the fear right back at them, so they then cower away like the true coward they are.

Don’t forget the soap as you cleanse yourself from all the ugliness around you, the true soap to use is, having the true faith in yourself as well as Jesus Christ, entering back into the house of the Lord, blessing yourself with the holy water, as he blesses you moving forward. We are all sinners within this society, we are all tired from being the sinners, so time we walk back into the house of the Lord, so he can heal us and give us the rest we need, as we all have become weary from this journey. When you are tired and weary from this journey, it is the house of the Lord that will bring you the rest you need, to move forward along your path, and truly find that path of righteousness full of peace and serenity, within this journey of life.

Some within this society are so focused on the ugliness that they simply can not see any beauty, They want nothing but to bring even more ugliness to the rest of us, so they seek all the power, so they then can have all the greed, which now they can control us all. This society needs desperately to cleanse itself with the holy soap and then rinse with the holy water, so we all can walk our paths peacefully, throughout this journey of life, while we get back to sharing our love with each other and ending this hatred and ugliness all around us.

” The father, the son, and the holy spirit, something for us all to get back to moving forward”

” Don’t just wash with any soap and water, truly use the soap of the Lord and the holy water to cleanse the ugliness away”
