” Jesus summoned the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits”

Mk 6:7

God didn’t just create all that is around us on a whim, he had a plan and he carried out that plan. What he never planned on was, the way we have taken his plan for granted, as we just move forward with our own intentions, whether how right or wrong those intentions are. God’s plan was for us all to live together in unity, so we could carry on with the creation of God and live in peace. God had help with his plan, as his son Jesus came to us and taught us many things, so we can continue to stay in unity, so we can prosper in many ways, there were many others like Moses, who came to lead us into the path of righteousness, but still today we venture away from that path and separate ourselves from each other, which now the ugliness of Satan has come to try to take us away from all the good.

There has been many who have walked this journey, who have tried to divide us and take us away from the good of this journey, but the good has always won out, simply because through good there is unity, and with unity there is strength in numbers, with evil comes division, as now you are alone to fight off the bad, which brings you much pain and hurt. God knows that none of us are perfect and we do make mistakes, but through his son’s journey here with us, he taught us how stay true to ourselves, stay true to Jesus Christ, so we then can have the faith and keep all hope right in front of us, as we walk our paths together, so the journey becomes peaceful, with much joy and happiness for us all.

Within this society of today, there are many trying really hard to divide us, so they can seek all the power over all. They will do anything they can for us to fear everything around us, so we look to them to lead us further into the darkness. What has been happening for many years now, especially the last couple years, has been nothing short of some, trying to gain all the power over each and every one of us. When we stay strong and true to ourselves, with the faith in Jesus Christ, then we will bring that to each other, so we all can stand up to the fear, see through the darkness, come together in unity and truly see the light at the horizon, as we keep moving forward toward that light and out of the darkness. Then we can get back to the peace of God and his plan he had for us all.

There is this trail here in the east known as the Appalachian trail, this trail takes a lot of careful planning, so you can walk the 2100 plus miles of this trail. With the right planning, setting up your replenishment spots along the trail, being prepared with the proper items within your pack and plenty of water to keep hydrated, now with the water it may be hard to actually carry the weight of all the water needed, so now you need to at least bring an empty bottle with a screw top, so you can have a filter sytem that screws onto the bottle, and as you fill the bottle with fresh water from the clean mountain streams, you now can drink clean water through the filter and stay plenty hydrated along the trail. There comes a lot of careful planning with this trail, mapping out the route, getting to the nightly rest areas to set camp for the night for a much needed sleep for the next days journey, when all is properly planned it makes for a safe and happy journey, but when it is not planned out correctly and your not prepared with the right items in your pack, this can make for a very bad and painful journey, with much hurt that can come to you for a very long time as well.

Jesus had his followers go out with a partner so they can show that, when there is another walking side by side, we can go much further and walk with confidence within the darkness, to reach the light on the other side. We can do so much more along this journey, when we come together in unity. We can work together on a plan, then come together and work that plan with confidence. Everything we do has a plan, just that Satan also has a plan, with his plan being, bring as much darkness to us all, so we fear everything that comes before us along our path. The fear is what keeps us from working the plan, as we know hide within, to try to stay away from all the pain and hurt of the darkness. This is what some among us want, they want us to get away from our plans and follow them with their sick twisted plans, to lead us further into the darkness and away from the light of Jesus Christ,

God had a plan when he created all this beauty around us, he wanted us to truly see this journey, as we create the plan the best we can to walk our paths through this journey, with much peace and happiness with each step. There are many plans being made all around us, so if we get caught up in the wrong plan, this could have us within great pain and fear, that will keep us from seeing the light of the right plan, to be one together in unity, so we all can walk our paths side by side, within the great plan that God made for us all. May we all come together in unity and create a great plan within the faith of Jesus Christ, as the hope for a well walked journey comes to us all, away from all the ugliness of Satan, as we see all the beauty of God, to continue in his peace, love and happiness, he envisioned for us all with the plan of his creation.

” First we must create a plan as God made a plan of his creation, then we work that plan as best we can Like God did, to be within all the beauty of that plan”

” There are good plans and there are bad plans, as we stay true to ourselves with the faith in Jesus Christ, then those plans are good and the ones we need to work as best we can”

That moment of Truth, will bring great rewards

” You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”

John 8:32

” The journey will start out looking a bit rough, but through the basics of life and some hard work, the view at the summit will reward you well”


Bowlingchef

What is the Truth? This is something that has escaped from our reaches today. We all have become so afraid of the truth and so afraid to be hurt from the truth, we now try to move forward with a ficticious version of the truth. When you first start out on the path you choose, it never starts out all rosey, it will have many obstacles that will trip you up and knock you down, many twisting turns that can have you lose sight of direction if you do not pay attention, but when you stay true to yourself, stay true to the faith of Jesus within you, you can overcome the obstacles, keep to the course of direction, so as you reach the summit of the journey, the views will be so rewarding, they will simply take your breathe away.

There is no path within this journey, that is either right or wrong. All the paths will have the same starting point, the same ending point, it’s what is in the middle that Jesus leaves up to each of us. When we stay true to ourselves, stay true with full faith in Jesus Christ, he will guide us, so we can make this journey the best we know how. There will be be many troubling times that will come to us along our paths, these times will totally try to control every part of us, which then we try to distort all the truths, so we can get around them, with as little pain and hurt as we can. When we distort the truths, we now are, setting aside any reality and replacing it with fake reality, so we don’t have to except it, as we only except things that bring us less pain and hurt.

There may be some that will try to rewrite the history books, a lot of the Scientific theories have been debunked and proven false, but the one thing that has stood the test of time, that brings us all comfort from generation to generation, and that many truths are within its pages, that is the book of scripture. These are the words of Jesus Christ, they may have been written in a time way before any of us were born into this world, but they are words written for each and every one of us, so we can walk through our paths, along this journey of life, so we all can be at peace and happiness always and forever, with eternal life waiting at the gates of Heaven. These words of the scripture are not just the truth from Jesus, but they are written for all, no matter who you are, regarding color, religion, creed, or whomever you may be. Jesus will never look down on us, as he is always within us, he will never discriminate, these things are on us, the people who walk their paths, within this society, along this journey of life.

The trail up the mountain may very well be like our paths we walk throughout this journey, sometimes we want to turn around and walk away, as we do not want to continue through the pain and hurt it will bring, plus a lot of the pain and hurt comes from we ourselves, as our bodies, because they are not in tune with the trail, may not let us hike the trail, as our muscles and joints become inflamed. We then quit the trail because our muscles and joints hurt us so, but this hurt is only because we are not in tune with this kind of hiking, some will continue as they find that, once they become in tune, now the trail becomes easier and they walk faster than they started out. This journey through life is much the same as walking a trail up a mountain, you just need to become tuned into the enviroment, so you can welcome all that it will bring to you.

Part of becoming tuned into any enviroment, is knowing all the truths of what and where you are going. Sometimes we do not want to know the truths, as at times we can not handle the truths, and with all truths, they at times will bring much pain and hurt, that will affect us in many different ways. Then you have some that will make up their own truths, that they will bring to you in a coddled way, so they can pull you to their twisted ideologies, as they then take full control of everything around them. These are the truths that will hurt us the most, these are the truths that do nothing but bring much ugliness to us all, these kind of truths will only have us bury the real truth, as we move forward with the made up truths, where the paths we walk, become so full of obstacles, that now we spend so much time to get around them, that this journey then passes us all by before we know it. There are so many fake truths out there today, that no matter where we go, it seems like we can’t get around them, but when we stay true to who we are and have complete faith in Jesus, he will guide us around them, so we can get over the obstacles, to reach the summit of the mountain, with its breath taking views as our reward.

The words of Jesus within the scriptures, are the one truths that have stood the test of time, it is the rest of the words being spoken today, that needs to fixed, not just fixed, but spoken in a way that, does not lead us into temptation. There are so many fake words being said today that, it is like stepping over the rocks on the trail of the mountains. Yes they will trip us up at times, and they will bring us pain and hurt, with the cuts, bruises and sprains. I know that there will always be some tripping up along this journey, but when we walk through as best we can, walk through being truly of who we are, then those scars from being tripped up, will never dictate our paths, only be a reminder of what we went through, so moving forward, we can be better and stronger with each step.

Why do we all have to be so ugly to one another? Why do we have to be so fake to each other, especially when it comes to the words out of our mouths? There is nothing within the scriptures that lead to this, it is all totally on each one of us, and only each one of us, can end all this ugliness, just by being true to ourselves, being true toward Jesus Christ, so we then can be true to each other, as we then share the love of Jesus that is within us, towards each other. So now we can walk our paths of this journey through life, in the true peace and joy, that Jesus brought to us on his journey here with us. You do not have to be a Rocket Scientist to figure this out, all you need is, dig down deep within, get back in touch with your true feeling and the common sense that is down there within, as we all now move forward with the true empathy of each other, which now, has the blood of Jesus flowing plentiful within our hearts, releasing his love within us, as it then spills over on the exterior, so we share it with each other, forever and always, throughout this journey of life.

” The truth will hurt especially when you have been fake for to long, but as you get comfortable within the truth, the beauty will have you seeing great rewards with each turn”

” Words are the most powerful thing among us, when we speak true words we shall see the beauty, the wrong words will bring us into a world of ugliness”

The day is at hand

” Put on the armor of light”

Romans 13:12

” Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not”

Lamentations 3:22

We all walk our paths through this journey of life, we each will go through many different times, with some of those times being the same and some, very different to one another. As we walk through the dark times, we may feel like we are alone? We are never alone and God is always there for us, for he is the spirit that holds a place deep within us all. We just have to truly believe, have complete faith, so he can guide us out of the darkness and into the light. God sent his only son to us, all wrapped in Human flesh, Jesus walked through his path of this journey here with us, as we crossed the many crossroads of these paths, he showed and taught us many things, so we can keep moving forward always, it is when we go backwards, that shows of how much we need to get back to the faith in God, so Jesus can lead us into the path of righteousness. It is when we have complete trust in Jesus, that we will keep moving forward, as we overcome all the battles we may encounter.

Sometimes we will feel so trapped within the darkness of our troubles, that we don’t even give a thought toward Jesus Christ, we become so consumed with the darkness and trying to find our way, that we become lost and lose all confidence in ourselves, lose all the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, to the point that we feel worthless and incapable. When we lose the drive to keep moving forward, we then doubt everything that may come to us, even that what Jesus will send us, so we can find that confidence and faith, to get out of the darkness and back into the light, to continue moving forward along our paths of this journey.

Jesus may be the blood that travels through our hearts and warms our bodies deeply with love, while God is that Holy Spirit that lives within our souls, so that when we truly feel the warmth passing through us, we can always not just get through the dark times, but see the light of salvation ahead of us, as we keep moving forward through this journey. Yes the dark times can seem really dark, with no signs of light? But when we keep to the faith and belief in God and his son Jesus, then these dark times will give way, to the brightest light we will ever know. Just because we do not see God, or Jesus, does not mean they do not exist? They are always there within us, we just need to truly feel their presence and love within us, so we can always have the trust that they will guide us out of the darkness and into the true light of salvation.

Easier said than done, as there are many who are totally afraid of the dark. Then you add in all the troubling times, the ugliness, now not only do many fear the dark, now they fear this journey with each step, and with all the ugliness of this society, only shows that there is more fear in this world, then there is love. God didn’t create all this so we could fear it all, he created all this for us to enjoy and be at peace, with each step throughout this journey. Some may put on that fake smile so others will think you are happy, while few actually feel the joy within our souls, which then God puts a real and true smile on your face, so you can share the love of Jesus, with all those around you. This journey through life is a lot more than the material things that we gather along our paths, this journey is more about the true feelings that is deep within our hearts and souls, so we then can have the trust, faith and love of Jesus always, as we then share that love with all those around us.

One of God’s ten conmandments is, ” love thy neighbor as yourself”, the way this society has grown today is, we have totally lost sight of this one. I can remember as a child, we all knew our neighbors and looked out for one another, today, not only did we forget this conmandment, we also forgot who our neighbors are, as we isolate ourselves from all those around us. This whole journey through life, is not just believing and having faith in God and Jesus, it is also of how we treat each other, help one another and just simply get along together in unity, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life. We have become so consumed in our own little worlds, that we also have lost all empathy for one another, when someone falls, we just walk by like they are not even there, when someone reaches out for help, we ignore them like the plague, why do we do this? Quite simply, we have totally lost sight of who our neighbors are and they are not just the ones who live next door, they actually walk their paths as we do, throughout this journey. Your neighbor is not just the person next door, they are the ones who live within your community, which you pass by without even a simple hello. We don’t have to be friends with everybody around us, but yes we should simply be friendly with those around us, show more compassion and empathy, which comes from the love of Jesus within us, so we all then travel through the darkness, to always see the light of salvation on the other side of the darkness.

When we all wake up each day, get ourselves ready for the days events, before we leave our houses, we first will put on this armor, which we feel it will protect us from all harm, protect us from whstever darkness will come to us? But what we are really doing is, putting on the mask with the fake smile, so we can seem to others as being happy? We are never truly happy, unless we feel the joy of God within ours souls, we are never truly happy, if we do not feel the blood of Jesus passing through our hearts and warming our bodies with his love. We have become so cold toward one another, that it is clear that we lost this love and empathy along our paths. Yes maybe there is some still there somewhere? But with the way the media brings to us all the ugliness and drama within their agendas, they don’t want us to see it, so they can keep bringing their fear agendas to us all. With all the fear and ugliness the media brings us daily, sometimes I think they are Satan, keeping us from feeling the true joy and love, that Jesus shares with us all, as we walk our paths through journey of life.

” With each day comes the light and with each night comes darkness, showing that the darkness never lasts with the light right around the corner”

” The sun may light up the day, but the true light is within us, as God lights up our souls even brighter than the sun”

The Grandstands so full throughout this journey

” Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight”

Hebrews 12:1

” All things are open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account”

Hebrews 4:13

There is nothing we will do along our paths that is too trivial, especially when God himself is looking upon us. No activity is too mundane, for when the Heavenly father looks down on us. We have all at one time or another have totally felt like this, we are alone in this journey, alone to fend off all the ugliness, alone to defend ourselves for what may be lurking around the corner? With these feelings of lonliness, we then put up these large walls all around us, so we can feel as safe as we can, when we think that we are alone with no one around? Because we can not see God, we then think he is not there? With all the ugliness that comes before us along our paths and as we think God is not there, because we do not see him, we then proceed to lose the faith in him and lose all hope moving forward, giving us the feeling of lonliness, like we are alone to defend ourselves, from whatever may be lurking around the next corner along our paths, through this journey of life.

There is so much beauty all around us, but yet we do not let ourselves see it, as we have put up these walls that block our real vision of all the true beauty. The mountains, the plant life, the oceans, the wildlife, just to name a few of what God created, so we can truly see all the true beauty around us. So how do we thank him for all this beauty? We become engulfed in all the ugliness, we become so deep in the feeling of lonliness, that we put up these walls around us, that only takes away any sight we may have, of any of the beauty. Then as we not see the beauty that God created, we then lose touch with the faith in him, which has us lose touch with any hope moving forward.

The clouds of our judgments have become so thick, that we can not see clearly as we walk our paths. We let all the Propaganda of others further cloud our judgments, which now we are walking blindly along our paths. With all the feelings of lonliness and now not trying to work hard at escaping these feelings, we then expect those around us to to guide us through, as we forget that they too may be walking through their own clouds as well. Which now as we have lost all faith in God, we also have lost all faith in ourselves, as we now deepen the thickness of the clouds, instead of making wind to blow them away.

These clouds will become very heavy and weigh us down, as we now become stagnate along our paths, instead of moving forward to try to clear the clouds from our judgments. Even the mountains become engulfed in the clouds, but because of their true beauty, the clouds do not last and once again the beauty shines through for us all to see. We to like the mountins, can once again shine with the true beauty, all we need to do is, truly believe and have complete faith in God and ourselves, so the hope will bring that beauty to us all once again. God will never let us walk alone through this journey, he will always be there when we need, we just have to have complete faith, as now our mind’s eye will see him as clear, as the beauty we see of all the mountains around us.

The little boat in this picture may seem all alone, but with the faith in God, the water it is within, will help keep all the journeys that this boat endures on, as peaceful as can be. True the waters may get churned up within the storms, but as the boat makes it’s way through the storms with the faith in itself and in God, the boat will see the light at the horizon in front of it, as it charters its course toward the light. We all will go through the darkness within this journey, there will be times we lose faith in everything around us, but when we never lose the faith in God and ourselves, we to, like this boat, will see the light at the horizon and chart a course toward the light. This journey through life is as tough as we make it, as when we are within the clouds of the storm, is when we need not lose any faith in God or ourselves, so there will always be light on the horizon, for us to chart a course straight for that light.

We must always take in account our Heavenly father, as it is he who, with our faith, that will guide us always into the light, so through the darkness he is the beacon for us, to see through the darkness and into the light. All this beauty around us, was not created for us to take a daily walk through, it is created so we all can see the true beauty of God, see that he is there around us all, and we are never alone throughout this journey, as much as we may think at times? God is always there for us, especially in times of need, we just need not just take account for him, but have complete faith in him as well as ourselves, so in the times of darkness, we shall always see the light at the horizon, to chart a course toward, as we walk our paths, through this journey of life, in the peace and happiness, that God had envisioned for us all, when he created all this beauty.

” The grandstands of this journey through life is always full with the love of God, for each and every one of us always”

” In the grandstands at the ball game, they may be cheering for the players, but in the grandstands of life, God is cheering for us all always, no matter of who you are”

Statue of Liberty for all

” If the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed”

John 8:36

” America is free because of the brave”

Bowlingchef

We all celebrate a birthday each year of our existence, as we walk our paths through this journey of life, so does this great country that America is celebrate her birthday each year since the creation of America. There may be many that want to come here to escape the perils of their Homelands, some may want to sneak onto the lands here in America and go unseen, there are rules to live by, so if you follow the rules, then you can be as free as you want and free to do as you do, while walking your path. Just as we have the Statue of Liberty here in America, symbolizing freedom, there is also a statue of Liberty on the hill outside Jerusalem, that lights the way toward eternal life. There are many statues throughout this country of America, with each on being a symbol of different times in the history of America. There have been many throughout the history of America that have given there all, so we today can be as free as we are, to do as we do everyday, all the statues are a tribute to these brave souls, that have given their all and paid the ultimate sacrifice for this country that America has become.

America needs its people more than ever now, so we can be as strong in the future, as we were is the past of this country, so America can celebrate many more birthdays to come. There is much ugliness right now in the world, and through this ugliness, there are some trying really hard to take down this country of America. As we the people of America unite and stand as one, without becoming divided as those who are trying to take us over wants us to be, we will show them that there is strength in numbers and they will lose if they bring harm to this great country. I get the fact that we are all equal in the eyes of God, no matter where your homeland may be? But you will always have good and evil, no matter where you travel throughout this world. Through evil there are some that will brainwash you with their sick and twisted ideologies, so they can achieve all the power, control and wealth throughout the world, sometimes it may seem like evil will win as it seems like it is everywhere, but God is everywhere and when we stay true to who we are, with the faith in God, good will always win over evil, especially when we all come together as one, just as the brave souls did, throughout the history of America, as now we here in America are as free as we want, to do freely what we do everyday.

America is the land of opportunity for all, while we are as free as we want, while we find the best opportunity that fits us perfectly. I get the fact that some may see otherwise as they may “think” they are less of, but they only think this way simply because, they have given up and are now looking for a handout. There are no handouts here in America, you want freedom, then you are going to have to work hard for it, as freedom isn’t free and does come with a price, just look back in the history of America, at all the brave souls, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, so we today can be as free as we are. You have to work hard for any freedom, as the early Settlers did that came to America. They had to work at building a trust with the Natives that were already here, they had to build their communities grow their crops and learn of the new land they have come to. These are the ones who blazed the trails for us today, as we walk our paths through this journey. Now as America grew throughout this land, so did the people as well, as they had their families and others who may have heard and came to this land as well, now America will have its hardest test, how will we all work together in creating this land of freedom, that America has become? Yes you will have some who will try to disrupt and bring their twisted ways to the land, but when America stands tall, stands as one, the good will always win over evil, as America then survives for yet another birthday celebration, of joy and happiness.

America the beautiful and yes it is truly beautiful, with many areas standing tall and proud. America has so many resources among it, with the best resource being the people within this great country. There have been so many who have blazed the trails throughout America, these are the ones, through their blood, sweat and tears, worked very hard, to make our lives today that much easier. There are so many natural resources as well, that we here in America can survive greatly throughout the future. America also has had some great Leaders, who have helped bring us into the future better and stronger and yes, there have also been failed leadership that tried to bring this country down as well throughout her history, as you can see, America is still here and stronger than ever, cause the good always out weighs the bad, as America moves forward into the future, year after year. We the people of this country here in America, are our own worst enemies at times, some will divide us with their sick twisted ideologies, their twisted agendas, they will try to seek all the power, control and greed that they can, then they will try to force us away from truly being of who we are, so they can prosper over the rest of us. This is the situation in front of us now, we need to stand tall together, unite as one, so those who seek to divide us, will fail and go off into that goodnight, so the real America will prevail, as we walk our paths through this journey, as free as we want, to do as we want, while we enjoy all the true beauty that America has to offer.

May the real America stand up? I have the faith in this country that America will always stand tall, no matter what may come her way? True what is going on in this country may seem overwhelming? Buit if you look back in history, what is going on, has been tried before and failed. Then you have Leaders of other countries who want world dominence, and will do whatever they can to achieve it, this also has been tried throughout the history of the world, but some among us, want to take away all the history, so we have nothing to look back at, as we move forward better and stronger. When we glance back at the what was, we then can move forward with the what ifs, to be better with each step along our paths. For America to truly grow moving forward, we the people within this country, need to grow moving forward. America is as strong as its people, and when the people are weak, this is what makes this country ripe for a take over, from any other country within this world. Through weakness is division and when we are divided we then become ripe for others to walk all over us and our paths. When we unite as one and come together, this is how we build strength moving forward, when we reach out and help one another no matter who you may be, as we walk our paths through this journey, this is how you build strength and when we are strong, then there is no country that will come mess with this great country that America is.

America will always be one generation away from extinction, just like each and every country throughout this world. The way each generation is raised and walks their paths of this journey, will determine of how we walk together in unity, so with all the technology out there and the way we stay behind it, with no interaction of each other anymore? This scares the hell out of me, and should scare the hell out of you as well, cause now all our futures and the what ifs, now look bleak as we all become victims of all our realities. It is time to stand tall and unite together, step away from the devices and interact with each other, so we all can move forward better and stronger throughout this journey. May God Bless this world, may God bless this great country of America, and may God bless each one of us, as we come together in unity, to walk our paths in peace, throughout this journey of life.

” Freedom is never free and comes with a price, but the price we pay for it is all worth it when you are free to do as you do and not rely on another to tell you what to do”

” Whoever confesses that Jesus is the son of God, God abides in him”

John 4:15

” The light of the Gospell of the Glory of Christ, who is the image of God”

Corinthians 4:4

We as believer’s, will sometimes grow casual toward the cross, we become so clouded within our judgments, that we then over look the fact that, we are the ones who should of beared the shame of the cross and suffered the wrath of God. We also with our actions away from the house of the Lord, have let all the ugliness consume us greatly, as now we go from true believers, to non believers and trying to move forward through all the pain and hurt. God will be there no matter what, we just need to acknowledge and regain the belief, so we can get back the true faith, as all the hope will follow as well. God will always forgive us, as we stay true to who we are and keep strong the faith in Jesus as well as ourselves, he will rekindle the fire within, for sharing the Gospell with each other.

We will suffer through much throughout this journey of life, the suffering brings great pain and hurt, through the suffering we will be shamed in many ways as well, this shame can and will control every fiber of who we are if we let it, but, we should never fear the shame and face it head on, I know it is easier said then done, but when we do that, then the pain from the shame will not last, and as we stay true to who we are, stay true to the belief in God, he will forgive us and protect us as we walk our paths, he will guide us with the many signs he sends us, toward the path of righteousness, so the darkness from the shame, will soon turn into the bright light of that path, then we can truly move forward in strength, peace and happiness always.

The power of prayer does work, we just have to truly believe in Jesus Christ, as well as ourselves, so the prayers can work their magic. Sometimes when we pray, it seems like nothing is happening? I get that in this society we want everything now? But within the spiritual world, and within the true faith of Jesus Christ, if we do not believe we will never see the signs he sends us, which then leaves us in the purgatory of the prayers, which then brings us to the side of non belief, as now it feels like the prayers are not being answered? They are being answered, we just need to keep to the belief in Jesus and ourselves, so we can see the signs, as we now can keep moving forward, better and stronger.

Sometimes we will have these moments in time we can not explain, these kind of Ah! Ha! type moments, that will send a quiver down your spine and as you get this feeling of warmth travel throughout your body. It is these moments we need to pay close attention to and not discard them with the daily trash, this is the power of the Holy Spirit within us, trying to get us to see those signs that Jesus laid out for us to see from the prayers we send him. I know that within this society that, if you talk of these kind of moments, you are then looked at by others as a ” Quack”? But who cares what they think, this is your path and journey to walk, not theirs, so you need to pay attentiion to those moments in time, keep the true faith in Jesus and yourself, so you can see those signs, fix what you need to fix, as you keep moving forward without looking back. Yes it is okay to glance back to see where you went wrong and fix that, but a glance is not a look, as a look, you then can get stuck back there, in the what if’s, then the what may be”s, may never happen?

The History by some are trying to be taken from us, we need the history of our past, so we can then move forward even better. It is in the history’s of our pasts, that help us to keep moving forward, when the history of anything gets taken from us, then we have nothing to glance back at, to be better and stronger moving forward. Now I get the fact that there will be good and there will be evil within this journey, there are also good/evil within our paths as well, and even further, there is good and bad within our professions we choose as well. With that said, you have your good teacher’s as well as you have your bad teacher’s, but it is the Teacher’s Union’s that are the real serious problem among us today, these are the ones that control all the Teacher’s whether they are good or bad? The unions set all the curriculums that the Teacher’s teach, as right now, they are teaching our children all the wrong things. It is time for the Parent’s to step in and right this wrong, as it is their children they are corrupting into their sick twisted agendas. They do not want to teach the real history’s of our past, only a watered down version, that they want you to know, so they can keep all the power they have.

This journey through life really does not have to be that hard, and when we walk our paths correctly, this journey really isn’t hard, true maybe it does seem to fly by? But if it does not seem to go by fast, then that should be a red flag, that maybe you are doing something wrong? Jesus showed us the correct way of walking this journey, by staying true to who you are, feeling his love within our hearts, then sharing that love with each other, putting our trust in the right places, like in the faith of God, as we visit his house on Sunday’s, when we truly trust in the Lord, then the faith in him and ourselves, will bring us great hope. We have become so consumed in all the ugliness around for way too long, the time is now, to get back to the true faith in Jesus Christ, which will give us the hope to get away from the ugliness and flourish once again along our paths of this journey through life.

It is said that those who do harm to others, will meet their maker’s. Well the same can be said for all of us as well, cause this journey will end for each of us at some point, so when we get to those ” Pearly Gates” of Heaven, that is when we all meet our maker. This is when it gets to be determined whether or not you walked this journey correctly, or how you treated others along your path? Whether or not you serve your time here on this journey, you will serve your time in Heaven, now whether you spend it in Heaven, or whether you spend it in Purgatory? That all depends on you yourself and how you walked your path, through this journey of life? See, nobody really thinks of that today, simply because in this society of ugliness, we have taken far to for granted, of the faith and love that Jesus Christ has for us all. A lot do not even walk through the doors of the Lord anymore, that says a lot without even saying a word. If you can not walk through the doors of God, then how can you have true faith in Jesus, better yet, how can you have true faith in yourself? I get that some will pray and have true faith in their own privacy, that’s all good, if you truly walk your paths with that same faith. Now very true that even some who do walk into the house of God, once they leave those doors, they then forget what they have heard, that is even worse, as now you have disrespected God in the worst possible way known to man and yes, you will meet him at the gates of Heaven one day.

This Ah! Ha! moment may not happen all to often, but when it does, we need to pay attention with our hearts and souls, so when Jesus sends us the signs, we will see them and let him guide us to the true path of righteousness, that will bring us into the light, away from the darkness, so we can forget about all the ugliness, get back to truly of who we are, with the faith in Jesus as well as ourselves, as we keep moving forward along our paths, through this journey of life. That special moment that will come, is the true magic of Jesus and when we truly feel it, the affects are truly amazing, not only does your body become warm, not only does your spine quiver, but you also become in touch with your emotions as well, which is something that a lot of us do not feel anymore. Maybe we do? But because of the ugliness we do not acknowledge when it happens, we just brush it off as, what is this? Am I coming down with a cold? Jesus Christ is there for us all, we just need to acknowledge him, so we can truly feel his blood traveling through our hearts, so the true joy can warm our souls, as we all walk our paths in his peace and happiness, throughout this journey we all walk. Yes this journey will end at some point and we all will meet our maker at the gates of Heaven, so lets walk correctly, so we do not go within Purgatory, to stay in limbo, not knowing anything of the future, let alone, laying in waste, to further stinking up the ground for where we lay.

” The true light of Jesus Christ is within our hearts, as the light of the Holy Spirit is within our souls, so when we feel that special moment that warms us and sends quivers down our spine, truly acknowledge it and let Jesus speak to you as he knows best”

” We will all meet the maker at the gates of heaven, so let that meeting go perfectly, as we walk our paths correctly throughout this journey of life”

The Miracles of life will always be there within us

” So he went in and said to them, ” Why this commotion and weeping”? The child is not dead but asleep”

Mk 5:39

It is said that everything happens for a reason? It is just that we lost our way to finding that reason, so we can move forward, better and stronger along this journey through life. We all go through many events throughout this journey, that will alter the way we walk our paths, With the disruption of these events, we then get lost in the reasons, while we also lose the faith in ourselves, as well as the faith in Jesus Christ. This journey will throw many curve balls at us, it will also test us in many ways as well, but when we stay true to who we are, keep the faith in ourselves, as well as Jesus Christ, there will be no curveball, that we can not hit and make it on base safely, on the playing field of this journey through life.

With the last couple of years we all have gone through, may this be a sign from Jesus to us all, showing all of us that, he is here for us all, he will guide us back to the light of the path of righteousness, all we need to do is, keep the faith in ourselves and in him, so we then can walk through the dark clouds of the storm, to get into the bright lights of God, as we all move forward into the peace and serenity, that the path of righteousness holds for us all.

One of the biggest miracles of this journey is, we all take so for granted that each day we wake to a new day. Just like the sun rises to a new day over the horizon, we rise to the light of a new day. such a peaceful picture this is, of the sun rising to shine on a new day, the quietness of the crack of dawn, only to be interrupted by the beautiful sounds of the birds, singing their morning tunes. As everything wakes to the new light, so do we wake, only we take it for granted, simply because we have to get ready for the day within our jobs. Now some may be within their dream job? Do they really exist? Or do we just lie to ourselves to make it seem like a dream? Nonetheless, we still wake so we can earn the living, which helps us walk our paths, as peacefully as we can. Everything happens for a reason, it is on us to find that reason, so we can fix what we need to fix, stay true to who we are, then keep moving forward along our paths, of this journey through life.

The Eagle sits atop the tree and keeps an eye on all that is below. Jesus also watches all of us from high above and at the right side of his father. He sends us the needed signs, just that when we lose the faith in him, we never truly see these signs. Jesus is always watching us, his blood as it warms our souls runs through our hearts with his love, when we stay true to our feelings, we will feel his warmth and love within us, as we then will, share this love with each other. But as we lose all faith in ourselves and in Jesus Christ, now our hearts turn cold, and we bury our true selves so deep within, that we now become someone for who we truly are not. This is when Satan shows up and tempts us with many temptations, that bring much ugliness, pain, and hurt to us all. There will always be good and evil, only if we stay true to who we are, we will know that good will always win over evil. But when we are someone who we are not, then the dark clouds of the storm will never leave us, as the light of the new day becomes even further from us.

Sometimes as we walk our paths of this journey, things will happen that we can’t explain? These are the miracles that Jesus puts forth in front of us, these are the signs he sends us, so we can, with the faith in him, see the signs, as we keep moving forward along our paths. Miracles do happen, just that through the ugliness of Satan, we never see them as we should. Jesus Christ trusts us in so many ways, we also need to trust him in the same ways, but when those life events come to us, scorn us in the wrong ways, this is when we hide deep within ourselves and portray a fake self to all those around, as we try to minimize the pain and the hurt that will come to us. There is so much to this journey of life, there is so much that will come to us, that we then become lost as we walk our paths. When we become lost, we then trip on the bumps of the path, sometimes these bumps will knock us down, but if we do not get up in the correct way, we then do not walk our paths the same way, as we once did.

In the eyes of Jesus Christ, there really is no right or wrong way to walk this journey, we just need to stay true to who we are, stay true to the faith in ourselves, as well as the faith in Jesus also, so he then can send us those signs for us to see, he can give us those miracles that help guide us to the light of the path of righteousness, so as the bright light of the sun lights up the horizon each and every day, we to can wake up to the bright light of a new day, as we keep moving forward with the warmth of the blood of Jesus flowing through our hearts, his love warming our souls, as we then share that love with each other. May we all truly see and feel the miracles that Jesus puts forth along our paths, so we all can walk through this journey, in the peace and happiness, that Jesus wants for us all.

” The miracles of Jesus Christ are all around and with the true faith we can feel these miracles as we stay true to who we are”

” As the sun wakes up over the horizon and brings the light of a new day, The faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ will wake us up to a new day always”

Changed for Life

” We…are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory”

Corinthians 3:18

We all want that nice beach house on the ocean, but through change and erosion, you can see that this beach is one more storm away, from having waves crash into the beach house, as people sit and watch television in the living room. Erosion is a constant thing as we walk our paths through this journey, we may not see this erosion, simply because we are too busy out there living our lives. We all in this society have become so engulfed, with trying to be the one to bring the next big thing, that we all have lost focus on what is truly going on around us. We all want so much for that five minutes of fame, we don’t focus on who we truly are anymore, which leads us into the world of, ” I am better than you”.

We are all working so hard to buy all the material things and showing them off to all those around, that when we buy these things, we don’t really look too deep into things like erosion and the effects it will have in the future. These material things are just that and we can’t take them with us when this journey ends. So, begs the question? Then what really do these material things hold for us? I can see the short answer of having the beach house, so one can walk the beach whenever they wish, but when erosion comes into play and takes away that beach, now it becomes very hard to walk the beach, as now you need not be afraid of the ocean and become a very good swimmer, which most are not.

Erosion is a huge part of this journey, it will affect every aspect of the land around us, whether at the beach, or maybe a cabin in the woods, or even within all the houses being developed around us. A lot of these houses and as the developers don’t want us to know, as they will never sell a home? Are being built on either swampland or old landfills that have been filled in. They may think they are filling in a hole in the ground to develop some homes, but nobody thinks of the erosion that comes to us, from this planet that we walk our paths on. Climate change, global warming, are all terms that some makeup to make a profit, but these terms have always been around through the word ” Erosion”, as mother nature changes this planet, with the help of erosion.

Some may think they can change the beach with the help of some heavy equipment? What they never admit to is, you simply can not fight mother nature, nor the fury of the ocean during a raging storm. Erosion has been around since the beginning of time, then lies the problem of we the people, especially those within the walls of Washington DC, as all they want is to put more money in their pockets, leaving the ones struggling through the erosion, standing there holding the bag, as now their beautiful beach home is in jeopardy, from the power of erosion and being dismantled before their eyes.

You build a nice little cabin in the woods, with beautiful mountains all around you. As you build this cabin, all you are thinking about is, all the peace and serenity you will have away from this crazy society. Well, the one important thing that slips our mind as we build is, the exact location of the cabin, while we look up at the mountains, to determine what would erosion do, as it eats away from the mountain? Where will those boulders go as the erosion eats away at the mountain? Will this cabin slip away into the river below while the erosion eats all the tundra beneath it? These are all very good questions, but these are questions we overlook, simply because we want so bad of these things, we then look away from them, thinking…Oh!!! This will never happen to me? Yes, there may be that chance that it will never happen, but!!! We must always keep in mind the chances, so we can be better at the decisions we make, while the changes of erosion are happening all around us.

Everything that happens as we walk our paths of this journey, happens for a reason, but we never get into the reasons, because we fear more of the negative reasons, so we look away from them, then later when things start going south…we then ask ourselves why? When things around us happen, we then need to find out why did this happen, so we can truly understand better, as we then try to keep moving forward along our paths. Because we do not want to know the reasons why something happened, will have us regress and move backward, which then has us, lose faith in not just everything around us, but lose the truth of everything around us, which then leads us into the self-destruction of everything we do.

Erosion has and will always happen right before our eyes, we need to look at this as, how can I better understand this moving forward, instead of looking at it as a way to profit from it, which then has us robbing one another, of all our hard-earned work, as we walk our paths through this journey of life. Everything erodes over time, even we ourselves erode over time, remember those things you once did when you were younger? Well here you are later in life and now you can not do what you once did. Erosion is a huge part of this journey through life, it is time we start looking at it, to truly understand it, so we all can be better as we walk our paths through this journey, to be true of who we are, and live our lives in the peace and happiness, that Jesus Christ showed us, while he walked this journey here with us.

” Erosion has been in this journey since the beginning of time, but we still do not truly want to know and understand anything about it”

” People, land, beaches, mountains, there is nothing that erosion will not affect, we must understand it, before the erosion takes everything away”

Within the Kingdom of God, Jesus cultivates us all

” To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God? It is like a Mustard seed…once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants”

MK 4:30a, 31a, 32

The Kingdom of God is far and wide, It holds so much within it, that we would never see it all, even if we went out and explored every day throughout this journey of life. Then you have Mother Nature within this Kingdom, even when you get out and explore one area, as mother nature then changes it with even more beauty for us to see. The Kingdom of God is so vast, but yet, we take so for granted just how vast it truly is. God created all this around us, not so we can attack one another, not so we can take it all for granted, he did so, for us all to come together in unity, to walk through this journey, in the peace and joy, his son Jesus showed us when he came and walked his path here with us on this journey.

This bird flying freely within the Kingdom of God, without a care or a worry with each flap of the wings, simply taking in all the true beauty of what is God’s Country, this is what God had in mind for all of us, until we the people started getting away, for what this journey truly is all about. The trees within this picture started as a seed, then mother nature became the Farmer and sown these trees into a beautiful part of all the beauty we see around us. Look deeply into the horizon of this picture, take in mind that throughout all these mountains, there is plenty of wildlife that lives within them. That’s the problem in this society, if we can not see something, we then lose all belief in anything else out there, which explains why so many have walked away from the house of the Lord today. When you truly look deeply into that horizon, then you will totally see everything and not just a picture of a landscape.

A Farmer is one who cultivates the land, throughout the many societies the Farmer’s job has always stayed the same, to take care of the land, so they can bring the fruits of their labor to us all. Throughout time, the tools for the Farmer have changed, just like mother nature has changed the landscape throughout God’s country, to bring even more beauty to us all. There are many trades within this journey, with all the trades, there are also many tools for each trade. Now, these tools will be very different from one another, as they are specific to the job they were designed for. Very true all these tools have changed over time, only because they are designed to make our jobs easier, so we can enjoy the fruits of our labor, as we walk our paths to be better and stronger moving forward.

In many ways we the people of this society have failed each other throughout this journey, we have stopped short of coming together in unity, as we attack one another, we have stopped looking deeply within what we see, and totally judge one another from a glance, without truly knowing each other deeply. We say we want to get out within mother nature, then we leave a big mess in our wake, we do not clean up properly as we walk the trails of nature, yes mother nature will cultivate this land and keep it beautiful, but when we the people leave our trash, instead of disposing of it properly, eventually there will be no more beauty for any of us to see.

God was the first farmer as he created all this for us all to enjoy, then came the farmer to cultivate the land, bringing much fruit to us all, but mother nature has always been there to cultivate the landscape that God brought us. We the people and when we stay true to who we are, with the faith in ourselves, as well as Jesus Christ, can and will bring much hope to each other, but with our actions toward each other, the hope has become lost, while the faith has become buried deep within us, as we have become so divided, that we can not even say a simple hello to our neighbors anymore. This journey through life is so much better when we come together in unity, it is this division that will bring to us, all the hatred, ugliness, and chaos that we see today. We the people started all this ugliness, we the people can end it as well, if only we come together in unity, come together within the house of the Lord, so we can truly see deeply of what we see within the horizon, of the true landscape that God created for us all. We all walk our paths through this journey of life, with unity we can overcome anything we set out to do, as we walk within the peace and joy that Jesus taught us, at the time of his journey here with us.

” God gave us the farmer to help mother nature cultivate and sow the seeds, for all the fruits of this land”

” The birds fly through the skies with ease as they glide into the horizon of life, so we can look deeply into that horizon to truly see all its beauty”

God’s Country

” Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you”

John 14:27

So pristine, and so different as you explore one journey through mother nature to another. With each trail you walk in the depth of the woods, there is nothing the same, no two trails are alike, and while walking deeply into that thick forest, not only do you learn how great God’s country truly is, but you learn of yourself and to have great confidence in what you do.

God created all this beauty for us all to explore and enjoy, he gave us all this room to spread our wings and relax within the beauty, but we the people and our actions, are ruining all this beauty and even without truly getting out to explore and enjoy it moving forward. Although there are some who are getting out to explore, just for all the wrong reasons, like on Facebook there is a page called, I hiked the 4,000 footers club, well because of this, up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, you have an overload of hiker’s, but instead of hiking for the great reward of the beauty of mother nature, they are hiking just to post on this club’s page for all to see and receive their 5-minutes of fame. There still are some who hike for the true beauty and respect the land, as the drama posters will hike and leave a mess in their wake.

These trails may seem endless at first glance, they may seem like they are so deep within the thick cover of the trees, but when you become comfortable and gain confidence within mother nature, the trails before you will lead you to peace, joy, and serenity. They will lead you to so much beauty, you then become overwhelmed within the thickness of the trees, as you follow the trails, get around all the twists and turn., Then as it pops out right in front of you, the reward from the beauty takes your breath away, as you marvel in its beauty. There are many trails to explore within the beauty of mother nature, these trails will show you just how much the Earth’s floor will change with each step, these trails will bring out all the differences all around you, then as you keep moving forward, will see just how the differences come together, to form so much beauty.

True that these thick forests within mother nature, can also hold some scary times if you don’t move about correctly, they will show you of all the wilderness and the different animals that may lurk within the thick forest, yes these animals are not domestic and are wild, and yes you should be very wary of them, but if you show them respect and you know how to act around them, the chances of them coming at you will decrease, as you both can then enjoy all the true beauty all around you. There is nothing like it, when you truly enjoy all the trails within this journey of life, as now you not only learn of yourself but all that is around you at the same time.

” This journey of life has so many paths to venture down and explore, so unless we change our current actions, then maybe a lot of this beauty will be no more”?

Walk the trail with confidence, hear the snapping of the twigs with each step, if the surroundings are all pine trees? Then feel the softness of the pine needles that fall from trees to the ground below. As you come across a stream to get across, stop, listen to the running water, as it cuts its way through the earth, as it too has a journey throughout this beauty. Listen to the wind whistling through the trees, the many kinds of birds, singing their many tunes with each other. Even if you listen really closely, you can actually hear the earth’s heartbeat, as you repeat step by step along her floor. All these trails and so little time to truly get out and explore, especially when some with their actions do nothing but destroy all that is around them. The mountain trails truly showcase the beauty within God’s Country, They will reward us with breathtaking views, they will also bring discomfort when we do not respect the trails and all that wander them as well. The trails within mother nature may be different than the trails within our paths of this journey through life, but that does not mean to disrespect, trash, and take bad actions to all those around us, The trails are part of this journey, God created a great home for us all, I think if we want to better at respecting everything around us, maybe we should start by changing our actions, get back to sharing the love of Jesus not just within our hearts, but sharing with each other, so we all can venture out to explore all that mother nature has to offer. We may walk our paths within this journey, but it is the trails within the paths, that totally keep us grounded, to be better and stronger moving forward, throughout this journey of life.

” The trails may seem small, but they are a huge part of getting through the thick forests that make up what is, God’s Country”
