” 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”

You see what you want to see, but never really look at what you are seeing

” You are witnesses of these things”

LK 24:48

We of this society within this Political correct world, simply let other’s take control of who we truly are? Why? Because we let our perception of what we see cloud our judgments, as we lose the direction of where we are going along our paths of this journey. Perception is one of those things that we all will do differently, you can take one thing and have ten people look at it, and the result is, ten different perceptions of that one thing. Multiply that by each Individual on this planet… Well you get the picture? Now you add in the source of where the information comes from, example like the far left liberal media, and now you have perception on steroids’, with drama, agendas, and chaos all around us.

We all will be a witness of many things, but one thing some may not witness because they take it for granted is, stepping outside and seeing the true beauty of mother nature. Mother Nature will always be there to show us her beauty, but instead of focusing on her fury that the media will surround us with, we will never see past that, in order to truly look at her shine in her finest moments. Most will never go off grid camping, pitch a tent to make your bed within, so you can lay down and truly feel the heartbeat of this planet, they would rather stay in a hotel, order room service, and look out the window, then say they saw mother natures beauty? Most will see this waterfall, but only a few will truly look at this waterfall and ask questions like, how did this waterfall get here? This waterfall was formed by a Glacier that happened way before any of us were alive. The Glacier formed the rocks, as the mountain stream flowed so fluently over the rocks and into a pool of water below. Most will just see it as water that flows over a cliff of rock, as few of us truly look at it in awe! Of the true beauty that mother nature holds for us all.

Today within this crazy society, when we say witness? We immediately think of, being a witness of a crime that has been committed? We forget or take advantage of the fact, we all have eyes to see with, for which now we are all witnesses of everything around us, whether good or bad. If a dog runs in circles now we are the witness of watching that dog run in circles, when the sun moves from one side of the sky to the other, now we are witnessing the movement of both the sun and the earth in harmony. You see an Eagle fly through the sky high above you, now you have just witnessed that Eagle in flight. We are all witnesses everyday as we walk our paths through this journey, but the problem is, we take so for granted of everything, that we don’t truly look at what we are seeing.

Even if you only see the same things day to day as you commute to your daily 9 to 5’s, you are still a witness of what you are seeing on a daily basis, just that we don’t look at it in that way? There is so much beauty right there in front of us everyday, but the sad part is, we do not allow ourselves to truly see what we are looking at, we may glance at something, but we never truly look, because we so fear this politically correct world we are in today. A lot of the problem is not we ourselves, it is all the agendas and the drama, that is forced down our throats by all the media types, and our so called leader’s around us, they will only tell us what they want us to know, so they can keep to their agendas, which happens to be, the power, the greed, and the control of every one of us throughout this society.

This journey of life does not have to be this way, but it will never change if we ourselves do not change. Yes change can be difficult and hard, but when change comes for the better, then it can be even more beautiful, then mother nature herself. Change will never come if we keep to the status Quo, which makes it even more important for us all to step outside our comfort zones, and let the change come, so we all can accept it, to move forward better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

Change, is all around us everyday, just like mother natures beauty is all around us. They both can bring us fury as well as bring us beauty, but like the world of political correction, we fear greatly all the change, as we let it cloud our judgments and never truly see the beauty right in front of us. Unless we can all truly be a witness of what we are seeing, we may never look at any beauty around us, and truly see how beautiful it really is? This journey of life really is not that hard, but we ourselves make it hard with our actions, and how we perceive everything around us. May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, as we all walk our paths through this peace, throughout this journey of life.

” Do you truly see what you are looking at? Or do you perceive what you see without truly looking at what you see”

” Political correction is making us all weak, we need to truly see it for what it is, so we can look deeper into all the true beauty around us”

New World Order?

” Let the peace of God rule in your hearts”

Colossians 3:15

The hope for today: The weight of Worldly concerns can crush your spirits. We get bogged down in life and forget what has been given to us. Ask the Lord to restore to you the joy of your salvation and refresh your spirit.

What is really the ” New World Order”? To me, it is just a few rich eccentric Individuals, that have nothing better to do with their money, but to bring drama, chaos, and ugliness to the rest of us within this society. Some of these individuals have made their money in a way that is above board and legit, while others have taken advantage of the system, lied and cheated, to achieve the wealth they have. Now I get the fact that we all have our own beliefs and ideas, but when you take your beliefs and ideas, then jam them down the throats of the rest of us, then make them out to be the only way? This is the difference between being a democratic society and a Tyranny. The New World Order is all about power, control and greed, and nothing else.

These Individuals in this Legislative arena, are nothing more than Leetch’s, who are sponging off of the people for their own political gain. Now I get the fact that there may be a few good ones within this room, but because the actions of their peers make for the same outlook of the entire room. Do these Individuals say they are speaking for all of us? I have a news flash!!! Never put words in the mouths of others, especially when you don’t give a Rat’s ( you know what), for the ones you speak of. Do you know what the word Assume really means? Well, this is what all within this Legislative room do every day, while they have their hands out to the Lobbyists to pad their bank accounts further. The new world order is made of some within this room, with the leaders being very wealthy, and two of them well known. George Soros and Bill Gates are the front runners of this new world order, which because of their wealth, think they can buy anything they want? I don’t care how much money you have, it can not and never will, buy you true happiness and peace, as we walk through this journey of life.

Very true that this journey is of what you make of it, when you keep to the simple life, it makes for a more enjoyable life and more manageable, which keeps you humble and true to who you are. When you are all over the playing field and running amuck, it never lets you focus on what is in front of you, which then, as you become lost and lose control, and even worse, losing who you truly are. Now I get that other variable can knock you down as you walk your path of this journey, not to mention another that crosses your path, can also influence how you walk as well, but when you stay true to who you are and stay true to Jesus Christ, there is nothing that can keep you down for too long. When you have complete faith in yourself and Jesus Christ, there is nothing that can keep you down, as you get up, wipe yourself off, and continue moving forward through this journey.

The new world order is nothing but a thing an eccentric person will do, just to pass the time because they are bored. Being filthy rich may seem cool to us who are not, but in reality, it is the most boring and lonely thing, simply because you just can’t go out in a public place like you and me, your lifestyle has become changed forever and it robs you of your true happiness and peace. Having money is good and being financially free is even better, but being an eccentric will not only change your lifestyle, but it will change who you truly are, especially when that change comes in ways that you truly do not understand, or try to bring change to others, who do not want the change. Some of these rich eccentrics get this twisted ideology, then try to ram it down the throats of the rest of us, just because they are rich and think they can? They are still a Human Being like the rest of us, which they also have to walk a path through this journey of life, only they have lost who they truly are, and need to find themselves before their journey comes to a close, which then leaves plenty of questions about, why did they not find their true purpose in life, even with their wealthy lifestyles. When the journey ends and you have never found that true purpose, then it becomes an incomplete journey, which then becomes a wasted journey, that you walked your path within. Some of us do find that true purpose, but there are many more that do not find that purpose, then end their journey with regret, and never being truly happy, or within the peace that Jesus showed us when he to walked a path through this journey of life.

” It is better to walk a path of happiness and peace, then a path of regret and doubt”

”

New world order full of crap, when it’s nothing but power, control and greed”

With Growth comes change

” Don’t be afraid”

Matthew 28:10

” Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and your neighbor as yourself”

Luke 10:27

Come my Shepard, let’s lead the Sheep to peace, happiness, and a good feast, but never shall we lead them astray, or into the great Abyss of the deep dark unknown. We all walk our paths through this journey of life, as the paths being different from one another, the journey is the same for us all, with the beginning and the ending being the same for us all, it is the middle part that our paths we chose will help define who we truly are. Now as we walk through this journey there will be much that will come to us, there is so much that we will encounter, we may get lost from time to time trying to find our way. The growth and the change that comes to us can, and will be over whelming, so over whelming they may have us lose our way? We not only grow on the outside with how tall or short we are, we also grow on the inside with our true feelings and emotions. We will also grow within a society of many to be better and stronger, but if we do not grow properly within the society, then we get left behind and ridiculed from all others. If we do not grow properly on the inside as well as the outside, then the change that will come is either going to be positive or negative.

Just like with faith there will be hope same goes for, when you grow properly, then the change that will come will be positive. anything or anyone will never escape change of any kind, it is part of this journey. Everything around us changes even we ourselves will change as we grow. We are not the same person from when we are born, till the day of our last breathe, the things we can do at a young age, we find we can’t do as we become older, and when we are older we are much wiser then when we are young. Our bodies will go through many changes on the exterior as well as the interior, which is why we need to grow properly, so we can accept any and all the change that will come to us, as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

Somewhere along this journey we all have become disconnected with each other, We think we are better than one another and that we are smarter than one another? Yes we are all unique to each other, but we are all very similar with all the same faculties and parts. True some may look different with their skin color, but in the eyes of God, we are all the same no matter who you are. Very true that we all serve a purpose as we walk this journey, just that the problem then is, some may find that purpose, while other’s wander aimlessly along their paths. Some because of other factors never truly live up to who they are, they get passed up and left behind, then the ones who passed them think now they are better and smarter? Some may learn faster as others, but this is no way to determine that you are better? We all learn at our own pace as we grow within the society, then as the change comes to us, we all then become wiser as we grow old.

Within this society we all live today, there are some who think they are better than us all, as they try to achieve all the power, control and greed over the rest of us. I have a news flash for you: Nobody is better than anyone, we are all similar and equal to each other, the only difference is, we are all unique to each other, and when we come together with this uniqueness, then we all can change and grow properly and be better and stronger moving forward. There is nothing we can not do when we grow properly and accept change with confidence, there is no one who is smarter or better then ourselves, only that we all learn at our own pace, and when we take care of that inner child within us properly, then we can not only grow properly on the exterior, we can also grow properly on the interior as well.

Not only do we grow and change as we walk our paths of this journey, there is the plant life, the wildlife, the sky, the bodies of water, mother nature, etc. Everything around us grows and changes as well. There is so much growth and change going on within the calendar year of the four seasons, it is hard to keep up with and at times take totally for granted, the death within the season of Fall of all the plant life, to the white Winter blanket of the cold winter months, then the re-birth of the Spring months, to the vibrancy of the Summer months, the change within the seasons is enough to very easily lose track of. From year to year as you venture out within mother nature, you can clearly see all the changes, one thing you may see one year, may not be the same the next year. Everything throughout this journey of life will go through change, which then leads to how we grow properly, so we can walk our paths in peace and happiness always.

” With faith there will be hope, through change there will be growth”

” The Shepard will lead the Sheep throughout their journey, but that does not mean the Sheep can not lead themselves or that we can not be the Shepard ”

The style and grace of white

” Jesus took, Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves, and he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on Earth could bleach them”

MK 9:2-3

The color white has always been associated with pureness. The Bride at a wedding, dressed in a beautiful white gown, symbolizing her pureness in starting a new life with her love. The ground covered with a fresh white snow, that cleanses the Earth for the next season, as Spring then brings the new and filling the Earth with a renewed feeling. When Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for all of us, he then rose from the dead wearing a white robe, and so white that he then symbolized the color white, as the color of freshness and new.

We of this society through all the ugliness and hatred, have totally become far away from the concept of anything white. We have walked so far away from the house of God, that we forget that Jesus is even inside us warming our hearts with love. The color of white is the light we all need in order to walk the path of righteousness, and escape the darkness and the clutches of Satan. We are within a time of good versus evil, the white is the good and the black is the evil, but if we can not get back to what the color white truly stands for, then we shall never get to see the light at the end of the tunnel. When we look at snow we see yellow or dirty, we never see the real fresh white snow anymore, when it snows out we take on a negative outlook, showing our hate of the snow, which has us become further away from the white of the snow. Then through all the extra marital curriculum out there, and the pre-marriage mentality, we then do not look at the white dress as it should be looked at anymore. True that our so-called Leaders are leading us down a dark slippery slope, and the far left liberal media is pushing us further down the slope, and unless we want to reverse this trend. Then it becomes totally on we the people of this society to stand up to these Bullies, fight our way back up the slippery dark slope, so we than can see the light of the path of righteousness, and then see the color of white so bright, that the darkness will slip away. Yes we must walk through the darkness to get to the light, but when we become stagnant and procrastinate, then the darkness will become overwhelming.

Good versus Evil is all around us within this society, but when you become fixated on one you will never see the other. True that Good will always win out over Evil, but it takes all of us within this society to unite together, so we all can walk our paths through this journey of life, within the peace and happiness that God had envisioned for us. Yes it may seem as if the deck is stacked against us? But when we stay true to who we are, stay true to the faith in ourselves as well as in Jesus Christ, there will always be hope for each one of us so we than can move forward, within the bright white light, that leads us into the path of righteousness. Right now we are within the darkness of the Power’s to be, with the Media keeping the light away with their sick twisted agendas, we need to look past this darkness so we can get to the light that is there waiting for us. We need to be stronger than the darkness, smarter than the darkness, so whatever the darkness does? We keep moving forward away from the darkness, as then the darkness becomes less of, and the true white of the light becomes even brighter in front of us.

This Journey of life comes with many bumps that will bruise us this is fact, but if we let the bruises dictate how we walk through this journey, then we will never truly walk this journey, which then has us become consumed on our paths with all the ugliness and the hatred. We are in total control of our destiny, don’t let the Power’s to be tell you otherwise? Don’t let the left liberal Media engulf you in nothing but darkness. Get back to the house of God, so Jesus can warm your hearts with his love once again, and as we within our souls are warm, then we can share this love with each other moving forward. Then as the warmth becomes infectious among us, we can get back to walking this journey in peace, joy and harmony once again.

” White is the color of good making us pure within the eyes of the Lord”

” Black is the color of Evil bringing us into the darkness with no light in sight”

” White is the style and the grace of God, as the darkness is nothing but evil with many innocent falling to the hands of Satan”

Yet another Lenten journey

” A Leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, “if you wish, you can make me clean”. Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I do will it, be made clean”

MK 1:40-41

With yet another Lenten journey about to embark and open it’s gates to us all, may we all first take the trek back into the house of God, so we can rekindle our relationship with Jesus, to let our hearts be warmed with his love, to fill our souls, then bring the same warmth and love to one another, as we then take the 40 day journey of Lent, through this journey of life.

As we take this journey of Lent, we do so as we sacrifice something, just as Jesus sacrificed himself, for us all. When Jesus came and walked his journey with us, he did so while showing us all, just how to not only love ourselves, but to love all those around us as well. Jesus is the one who healed us from all the ugliness around us, he healed many from their sicknesses and their diseases, all we need was, to have complete faith in ourselves as well as in him, so we then can have great hope moving forward. Jesus has done a great deal for each of us, now as the journey of Lent is upon us, let us show him Respect, by honoring him, and sacrificing a part of us, through this journey of Lent.

When the Leper stepped forward into the eyes of Jesus, those around him flinched with his looks, but Jesus never flinched as he called him near, The Leper asked Jesus to cleanse him, and Jesus did just that with no regret. Those that were there and witnessed the cleansing, were in complete awe of this, as they to wanted Jesus to heal them moving forward. Even though we of this society have never seen or heard from Jesus, he is there, not only there, but with the faith in him, he gives us hope moving forward, as we walk our paths through this journey. The love of Jesus is always within us, and will never leave us, only that, with our actions and the clouds of our judgments, does then the love become buried deeply, as our hearts then become cold.

We of this society, and we of little faith today, have lost sight of the hope that is in front of us, because of some among us, we are forced to see all the ugliness, forced to bury the love deep within, which then fills our hearts with the cold of hatred, that clouds our judgments, that brings us into denial, without seeing the reality that is right in front of us. We are better than this, we are stronger than this, Jesus didn’t teach us this when he came to us, this is totally on us, the people who walk their paths of this journey, we have become so engulfed with the negatives, that the clouds are stopping us from seeing any positives. It really doesn’t have to be this way, this is not of who we truly are, as the love is always within us, and the hate is a learned behavior, of which we learn it from somewhere, or someone. Today we all have become the Leper of this society, and with this Lenten journey in front of us, may we all then, come before Jesus Christ and kneel, as we then ask him to heal us from this ugliness around us, so we than can dig down deep, get back in touch with his love, let the love warm our hearts once again, so the hate will disappear from us all, share the love with each other. Then as we are back in touch with our true selves, and as we keep the faith of ourselves and Jesus front and center, then the hope will always be there in front of us as well, so we then can move forward in strength, walk our paths to be better, throughout this journey of life, as Jesus showed us, when he came to us and walked his path among us.

The ugliness and the hatred within this society is totally on all of us, this is not of who we truly are. Just like the society back when Jesus came and walked his path, we of this society have let some, engulf us with their power, control and greed grab, that has forced us into the darkness, and away from the light. It is okay to travel through the darkness, as this helps heal us from our troubles, but when we get stuck in the darkness, with no light in sight, this is when we bury the love of Jesus deeply, as we try to minimize the pain, to keep the hurt as little as we can, the darkness keeps us in touch with reality, as the light is right around the corner. Even the light of the day, gives way to the darkness, but only for a short time, as the light comes back even brighter the next day, We are all encompassed within the darkness of the ugliness around us, this darkness does not have to last, so as we enter in this Lenten journey once again, may we all sacrifice something as Jesus did, so at the end of this 40 day journey of Lent, we then, can move into the light, with complete faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, as the hope brings the love up out of the darkness within us, warms our hearts greatly, so we than can share this love with each other, as we now can walk our paths better and stronger, which then, brings the peace and happiness to us all throughout this journey of life.

” Through the darkness comes the light, just like when there is faith there is also hope”

” When the Leper steps out of the darkness we turn away, which further deepens the love within us”

” The 40 days of Lent is just a small sacrifice, then the sacrifice Jesus made for all throughout this journey”

The Baptism

” This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: One mightier than I is coming after me, I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals, I have Baptized you with water, he will Baptize with the Holy Spirit”

MK 1:7-8

This week as the season of Christmas ends, we now recognize the Baptism of Jesus Christ. Now some may wonder why the son of God, needs to be Baptized? As John the Baptist continued to Baptize Jesus, he then realized that as he became baptized, Jesus now will bring the Holy Spirit to the rest of us. The Holy Spirit is within each of us, but if we do not recognize this Spirit, if we do not have complete faith in this Spirit, then the true power of the Holy Spirit, will never come to reach it’s full potential. This Holy Spirit within us, when we truly have faith in it, Jesus Christ, and ourselves, the sky is the limit to what we can do, when we recognize the Holy Spirit and stay true to our faith, this is how we become better and stronger, moving forward throughout this journey of life.

Everything has a reason and everything has a purpose, it is up to each of us to find that reason and purpose, without the true power of the Holy Spirit within us, when we do not find the reason or the purpose, we will simply be wandering throughout this journey. We all wonder of this ” Higher Power” we hear about? This higher power is the Holy Spirit that is within us, it is the power of Jesus that helps us be better and stronger, and even during times that we think all is lost. Without the faith in Jesus Christ nor the Holy Spirit, then there will be so much unrest around us, the hatred, the ugliness, and the corruption, these are the main ingredients of the fact that, the faith has slipped away, as we have wandered away from the house of God.

There are so many today that have wandered away from the house of God, and the current situation we are all in, within this society, proves just that. The trust, the accountability, the integrity, these are just a few that is lost today, Without the faith, we will never have any hope, but as some around us try to exploit the power, control and greed, the hope will seem non existent. Even as everything seems so bleak, we should never lose sight of faith, as through faith, it will open so many doors, and doors we thought never existed.

Just as Jesus got Baptized, we to get Baptized as we enter into this world, as Jesus grew up in this world like we ourselves, he taught us many things, but the biggest was how to love each other, and through that love how to treat each other with respect and dignity, but unfortunately, like everything else we touch, it starts out great, but over time, it brings much hatred and ugliness, which is nothing more than Satan trying to control us, but as Jesus himself was tempted by Satan, we to get tempted, and Jesus showed us how to resist the temptation, to move forward better and stronger.

It’s all about good versus evil, we get baptized into this world, so the good will be within us, this evil that is Satan is not within us, and has to be learned over time, but when we stay true to who we are, stay strong in faith to Jesus and ourselves, we will always have hope moving forward. As long as we always have hope, we then will always stay true to ourselves, so we can be at peace and share our love with each other. When we stopped entering the house of God, this is were we then became disconnected from the Holy Spirit, which opened us up to the evil that is Satan. We all need to cleanse ourselves again as the power of Baptism does, so we can be re-born and truly follow Jesus, to the path of righteousness, where we can have true peace and love, to move forward better and stronger.

” Baptism is where we are cleansed and enter into the land of God, then let the love of Jesus warm our hearts”

” The power of the Holy Spirit within us, helps us keep the faith, to have hope, to be better and stronger”

Say what you want, say what you mean, but never speak for or of another……….

This is one of the best quotes of my life so far. The late Stuart Scott said this as he was being honored at one of the Espy awards shows before Cancer took him from us. You can take the word Cancer out of this quote, replace it with the word Life, now you have a totally different meaning, which is why this quote is so good, it is very versatile in that way. Life is definitely of what you make of it, if you make it hard, it will be hard in return, if you walk this journey correctly and with respect always, now life will be easier, throughout that path you have chosen.

It is perfectly okay to say what you want, and say what you mean, but when you speak Ill of another, or even worse speak for another, now you are doing nothing but create a lot of unwanted drama around the rest of us. When you speak for another and especially without consulting with them, then how do you know they truly mean what you have said? This is not just what is wrong within this society, this is totally what is wrong within the walls of all the media publications out there as well. These Individuals within the media spend big money, to go to the best schools, so they can say they have a degree in Journalism, but what good is the degree, when you work for a publication that only wants you to keep to an agenda? Right now this agenda of the media is all about, speaking Ill of some, while they spread lies and untruths of others. If you do not agree with their twisted philosophies, then you become one of the ones for which they speak Ill of, this is totally what is wrong with this society, this is what we all need to fix, as we move forward throughout this journey of life.

Then there is this thing called Political Correction which you can not say anything of anybody without offending someone, I say you know what you can do with this Political Correction…..? This has totally made this society weak and made us all fear everything that we may say, even if what we say may be correct, or even better, maybe what we need to fix this society, to be better and stronger moving forward. Yes, you do need to hear the truth, even if that truth hurts you and brings great pain, but if you deal with the pain and hurt correctly, it will only make you that much stronger moving forward.

The spoken word is just that, they are words we speak out of our mouths, they are also our opinions of what may be going on around us, now some may not research properly before they speak their words, which then becomes an even bigger issue that will affect us all, then there are some, like the ones who create these agendas, that will force their workers to use the spoken word in the wrong way, especially if the agenda creator did not properly do his/her research? With all the bad research out there, no wonder why the spoken word has become so…. screwed up and off point.

Ever since Eve told Adam to eat that forbidden fruit, this is what started all the societies within this journey of life, to walk on eggshells, as the spoken words have become like a bullet out of a gun, simply because, and some may disagree, which is fine, but words do cause great pain and hurt, but the right words can heal and bring us all to peace. Jesus showed us all when he walked this journey here with us, that words that come from the heart with love, will help us heal and be at peace, while words that are fake, that only get spoken out of hate, will totally hurt as the pain becomes great, we shouldn’t have to watch what we say all the time, only because, when we speak correctly and from the heart, then these words not only can heal us, but they will help us all become better and stronger, as we walk our paths, through this journey of life.

” There are many quotes out there and many we may remember, but a great quote will forever stand the test of time”

” The spoken word can be the best thing we will ever say, but they can also bring great pain and hurt”

” For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples”.

*** LK 2:30-31***

With yet another Christmas in our rear view mirror and a New Year lurking in our future, let’s look a bit deeper into what is Christmas. Christmas is a whole lot more then giving gifts or even receiving gifts, Christmas is the birth of Jesus Christ and even further, it is the creation of a family between Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. When Jesus came and walked his path here with us, we all focused on him, while Mary and Joseph went to the back burner of life, but if you took the time to notice, both of them were never to far from their son. Even at the time of death for Jesus, his mother Mary was right there with her son, while her love spoke loudly among us all. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph became a family when Jesus was born, they then built that strong foundation and bond that family is, which today we have gotten away from, and all the ugliness and hatred around us today, proves even further, of just how much we have swayed away from what a true family is.

The last few decades we as a society have wandered away from the true meaning of family, we have wandered so far away that, families have become broken, and through all the divorces, there is a whole generation that have grown up with only one parent, making them incomplete. True of the family foundation being solid and strong, but over time and without tending to the decay of the foundation, it then will crumble and fall, which is what we are seeing, with all the ugliness and the hatred around us. Family is what helps us all grow into a society of many, each parent in their own way, teaches everything we need to know to be better and stronger with each step moving forward, The Mother will teach us love, compassion as well as many other factors, the Father will teach us strength, respect as well as many other factors, we need both to be complete, when one is missing, we then are incomplete, the foundation then stops being built, and is so weak, that it does not take much to corrupt who we are.

Our family here on Earth is, a Mother, a Father and Siblings, our spiritual family encompasses a whole lot more, as each of us are brothers and sisters within the society of God. This spiritual family is a lot bigger then our family here on Earth, the family foundation starts being built within our family here on Earth, then continues as we grow within the society, so when we are within a broken family and the foundation stops being built, now we have no basis to build from within the society of many. With all the problems and the troubles that the year 2020 has brought to us all, is a bi product from the last 10+ years, and the fact that we all have been suffering from the effects of all the broken families around us. Now the family you are in may be complete and you may be complete, but all the other families around us and especially the broken ones, whether we want to admit it or not, have effected each of us, in one way shape or form.

Nothing really ever lasts and there will be much change all around us, just like the rock in this picture, you think a rock is solid? but when the rock is submerged in the water for a long time, and then becomes free from the water and into the rays of the sun, it can break in two just like this one. Well the family foundation is much like this rock and needs constant work all the time, to keep it strong and to stand up to the test of time. Each member of the family has their own part in building the foundation, and when one of those parts are missing, now the building stops and the incompletion begins, leaving all to try to find something to fill the void, from the broken family foundation.

Yes it is true that we can succeed along this journey with only one parent, but to truly succeed along this journey, and to feel totally complete as we walk our path of this journey, it takes a complete family, for each of us to feel complete, as we grow into a society of many. Throughout the years all our lives have changed in a negative way, now it is on we the people, that can change it back in a positive way, and in a way that Jesus showed us here on his journey, right now we are all hurting with all this negative change, the time is now to change positively, so we all can get back to peace and happiness, and away from all this ugliness and hatred. We all walk our paths through this journey of life, and it starts with family helping us grow correctly within the society of many.

” Family Time whether spiritual or Earthly, has a foundation to nurture and grow”

” The birth of Jesus Christ brought forth the feeling of family and the building of the family foundation”

Having Faith and truly Believing

” And the Angel said to her in reply, the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you, therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the son of God”

” For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord”

Within this society of today, do we truly have faith? I mean not just to have the faith to leave for work and return home later, but do we truly have the faith that everything happens for a reason, and yes we can over come whatever that may cross our paths, and when we do, then there will always be hope for us all, as we walk this journey of life. Belief…. this is something we do totally within our hearts, it is not just a word that is thrown out there, just to make like we understand something, when you truly believe 100% with your heart, there is no copy, or there is no faking the belief, because when you truly believe, not only will the faith be there, but there will always be hope as we move forward along our paths, of this journey through life.

True without faith there is no hope, also true that with no belief, there will be no faith or hope, which then leaves us all empty as we walk our paths of this journey through life. There are so many factors throughout this journey, true it can get overwhelming at times, we can lose our way and become lost, as then we are just wandering and not walking as we should. When we truly believe in something, we will always have the faith in that something, which then gives us great hope moving forward along our paths,

Jesus Christ is a great example of true belief, cause when we have complete faith within our hearts and souls for Jesus Christ, then not only can we feel his love within us, but he will help strengthen our faith in him, as he brings us great hope moving forward. True some may say we never see him, but when you truly believe in Jesus Christ, then we shall see the signs he leaves us, as we then discover the faith in not just ourselves, but the faith in Jesus Christ as well, which then leads us to great hope moving forward, which then helps this journey seem not as tough as we sometimes make it out to be. We may never see Jesus among us, but the signs he sends us to see, are all around us, which is why we always need to look deeply at what we see, because when we do not, this is when we will never see the signs, which then leads to zero belief, followed by no faith and the hope will never come to us throughout this journey.

This time of the year, the time of Christmas, is truly the most magical time and the most precious time as well. It is the birth of our savior Jesus Christ, it brings forth the belief in him, so we can truly feel his love within our hearts and souls, then with the belief the faith will then come, and not just in him, but in ourselves as well, while we truly see the signs that Jesus brings to each of us, then as our faith becomes stronger, then the hope we will find right in front of us, leading us into the path of righteousness. Even through the darkest of times, when we find that path of righteousness, the light of Jesus Christ will always light our way, throughout this journey of life. Jesus Christ is always there, he is always within us no matter what, it is us who lose the belief, which gives us no faith, to see no hope as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

” Merry Christmas to all and to all may you totally have the belief in Jesus Christ, which leads you to the faith in yourself and him, while the hope is in front of you”

” Jesus Christ is within us all, which is why we need to look deeply into what we see all the time throughout this journey”

” The three factors in life that we all need to be conscious of always, belief, faith, and hope”
