You think by the title I may write of the swamp within Washington DC? Why waste two great pictures within Mother Nature. Even Mother Nature has swamps within it, the difference is, mother nature takes care of them so they can thrive, within Washington DC, the ones within that swamp only takes care of themselves and totally forgets of all those around them. Not that I want many getting out within mother nature to take away all the beauty I come across on my journey’s, but within this screwed up society only proves further that, a high percentage of us, have totally forgotten and taken for granted, all the true beauty within mother nature.

No matter where you go within mother nature, there is so much beauty with every turn, not just all the plant life, or the landscapes, but there are many wild animals that roam within mother nature, these animals call mother nature their home, just like we have homes and want others to respect our homes, we to need to respect their homes, while we are out there within mother nature. The beauty of mother nature is everywhere around us, even as we drive to our jobs, but sadly we take this so for granted, that we do not look at it as being within mother nature, instead, because we are so caught up in all the ugliness, we see no beauty.

With another Veterans day upon us, let us take the time to thank a Veteran, for it is the veterans that keep us free to do as we want within this country, there are some that do show respect to our Veterans, but there are some who totally take them for granted, as not only do they not thank a Veteran, but they can’t see what they do for each and every one of us. A real Veteran will never see a swamp and see it as ugly, he will do what he has to, in order to clean it, so it’s future will be nothing but beauty for all.

“The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more”

Mt: 25;20

We all in this society and as we walk through this journey, have special talents, we all have a purpose as we walk this journey, but unless we find that purpose, we will never unlock the talents that are within us, and without the purpose, we then will never not only show our talents, but we will never bring our talents to the next level, like building more talents upon the talents that are already within us. In order to truly find your purpose and your talents, you need the confidence within you and the confidence in Jesus Christ, so you can move forward along this journey and find that purpose, the problem within this society is a lot of us have lost that confidence and have lost of who we truly are, while we are all lost and within the clouds of our judgments, we will never see any beauty around us, we become full of fear that brings us much pain, as we never see us for who we are, we will never see anything around for what it truly is as well.

This journey through life is like that when we do not take care of ourselves as we should, when we truly take care of ourselves, fix what we need to fix, not only will we ourselves be better moving forward, everything around us will become better as well. This year of 2020 has been a very challenging year in so many different ways, with all the ugliness that has come across all our paths through this journey, proves that we all need to take care of ourselves, so we then move forward with each other, to become better and stronger throughout this journey of life.

When we take care of ourselves and see the talents within us that Jesus has supplied us with, we will then find that confidence that he sees in us, and bring that confidence out, to let the talents shine brightly as we walk our paths, as now those talents will help us achieve many more talents throughout our lives. The success for each of us as we walk our paths through this journey of life is endless, with the confidence in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, then all our talents will shine as bright as the sun on it’s best day, which will then have us find many more talents to shine even brighter, so we all can move forward in the peace and happiness, that Jesus showed us when he came and walked this journey here with us.

We all have talents within us, these talents will help us find our purpose here within this journey, then as we find this purpose and our talents within, we will then find that there are many more talents for us to unlock within this journey as well, all we need is to have that confidence in ourselves, that confidence in Jesus Christ as well, so as we walk this journey through life, then the true success for each of us will be endless and all this ugliness we see today will disappear, as there will be no room for it to exist anymore. Just as Mother Nature has it’s true beauty for us to see, there is no better beauty than the beauty within each of us, especially when we are confident, release our true talents, and have found our purpose in life, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” A true talent goes a lot deeper then any kind of sporting or singing type of talent”

” The beauty of mother nature is definitely beautiful, but the beauty within us all is so much more precious and special”

Learn History to be better moving forward

Our memories throughout the journey we walk, plus learning the history of others before us that also walked this journey before us, this is how we grow to move forward better and stronger with each step throughout this journey of life. It is pretty cool knowing those who walked before us and what they did, to make their journey better for themselves. When we look into our history and look deeply into the other societies before us, we can learn of what works, versus what does not work, but when we try to erase History or even worse do not teach history within our schools, now you can very easily repeat history and take huge steps backward instead of moving forward.

These Native Tribes back in Ancient times in the area of Mount Kineo did not have any technology like we of today, they had no telephones but yet they communicated far better than we do today. These people didn’t procrastinate and whatever they found they turned it into something useful to make their lives better. They learned how to hunt so they can eat, they learned how to barter as there were no monies back then, they were survivors and learned how to survive and were not lazy at anything they did. Now unlike those of us within this society with all the technology and gadgets we have, we have become lazy and expect things to come to us, instead of actually getting out and working hard, so we then can move forward better and stronger. We in this society have become disconnected from each other even with all the connections we have, we hide behind all our devices and have no clue as to what true social interaction is? We think that FaceBook is our modern-day interaction, I have a news flash people, time to step out of our comfort zone before there is no more comfort to enjoy.

There are so much ugliness and chaos among us today, so much that it has become hard to see any light at the end of this darkness. Those who are creating this chaos and unrest, quite simply have lost sight of what is around them, plus none of them are looking through their actions before they actually take the action. I am willing to bet that most of these individuals who are creating this ugliness have zero clues of what they are doing? They are simply a follower and will never be a trailblazer as they walk the path they are on, through this journey of life.

The unfortunate part through all this ugliness and chaos is, we of this society are becoming Victims from it, not only are we becoming trapped in our homes from a virus, but we are also becoming trapped within our homes, for the fear of becoming a true Victim from the ones creating all the ugliness and chaos. Very true that the ones with boots on the ground delivering all this ugliness are merely a puppet for an even bigger puppeteer, so with that said…….. maybe it is time we find the puppeteer so we all can escape this ugliness and get back to the true beauty within this journey of life, find the one holding the puppet strings so we then can cut these strings, showing that they can not hurt us anymore and we are done being a Victim of their ugliness. In this society, it is all about three things, the power, the greed, and the control, these three things will have you lose all sight of reality, not to mention the fact that you become a victim of denial and with denial, you then become someone for who you truly are not. Very true there is a silent majority that says not all that much but is much smarter because they let there true actions speak even louder than even themselves, so when the time is right, the silent majority will let their true actions speak and all the ugliness and chaos will leave us, bringing back the true peace, the true love and the beauty that is around us, as we then move forward along our paths of this journey through life.

 

” Open the history books again cause what you may learn will help you move forward better”

 

” Memories become the history and when we do not glance back to fix the error of our ways, then the future becomes in jeopardy”

 

” Ugliness and chaos are ingredients of evil, as love and faith will bring us good full of peace”

 

 

The flow through this journey of life

” God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life”

Jn 3:16

 

Just as the creek flows down off the mountain, we to flow along our paths on this journey through life. The creek will encounter obstacles to overcome on its journey, so do we encounter obstacles as we walk our paths of this journey. The journeys may differ, but the concept is the same, unlike the creek we the people take so much for granted along our path, as one is the true beauty all around us, there is so much beauty, but as we become so engulfed in the ugliness and the hate, we then become someone for who we truly are not and bury deep within who we truly are, as well as our true feelings and emotions.

This journey through life for all of us will have the same beginning as well as the same ending, but what lies in between determines on the path you choose to walk, some paths will have many bumps and pitfalls that will knock you down, which then will be determined by the way you get up from the many falls, some paths may be well-groomed, which then doesn’t prepare you for the pitfalls, but we still have to work hard along our paths in order to make this journey well walked.

The birds singing their many beautiful songs, the vegetation so alive and vibrant, feeling the true heartbeat of this planet Earth, some of the most beautiful things around us. Each one of us sharing our love and empathy that is within us with each other, this is the most precious thing we have, but yet as we get so engulfed with all the ugliness, we lose this as our hearts go so cold. The beauty of Mother Nature is beyond beautiful, it has the power to heal us from our troubles when the daily grind has us in its clutches, escape within Mother Nature and feel the weight of the grind simply melt from your body. When you become engulfed in your routine, doing the same thing day in and day out, escape within Mother Nature and see new things, the type of things you will never see in your daily routine. We all need to escape the grind that is life from time to time, as this is what heals us and helps us become better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” The journey is supposed to flow like the creek down the side of the mountain”

 

” Mother Nature is more beautiful, its power can change us all moving forward throughout this journey of life”

 

” The journey up the mountain can seem like a lot of work, but it is work that soothes us from our daily struggles when we look deeply into all the beauty around us”

 

 

The Black clouds over this society

These black clouds are coming from a whole slew of issues over time, they come from we the people and the fact that instead of sharing our love within, with each other, we have become lost within the clouds of our judgments. The hate out there is learned from somewhere, from someone? This hate when we let it will control every fiber of our being, it will turn us into someone for who we truly are not, with all that is going on in this society, you can clearly see that we the people within this journey through life, are in the dire need to heal from all this hatred, so we can move forward in peace, with no ugliness getting in our way.

The year 2020 has become a year that we all so want to put an end to and fast, started with a virus that ultimately lockdown many worldwide, has all the so-called leaders getting deep within the power…… the control and the greed of us all, proving that these same leaders care nothing for who they lead and everything for their own agendas, a true leader will lead the herd to prosperity,  a true leader will never put himself above anybody and will always lead by example, to which they will never ask of others something that they wouldn’t do themselves. Through all this virus chit chat and the ones who are looked at as the experts, are they really an expert? Maybe they simply are someone that is trying to fill their pockets, or maybe they enjoy gaining power over others? It really does not matter to which, as they both will turn us into somebody we truly are not, not too mention the fact that, now trust and respect then enter the picture, without these two components, will then have us rationalize away whatever actions we take and when there is zero accountability, the issues then compound one after the other and on top of each other, until the weight of these issues then become a factor as well, as we become someone for who we truly are not.

Then there are the media,  let’s be real here, the ” fake news media”, who hide behind an amendment that they think will protect them as they then ram their agenda down our throats. They also will try to gain control over us with their drama, their twisting of the spoken word to fit their agenda, they too are deep within the power of denial like the entire Democratic party, they think we the people do not see what they are doing, but I have a news flash for all you media types, we do see you, but we the people have been the silent way too long, the time we hold all of them accountable and end all this ugliness, hatred and control before there is nothing more to end.

Now even more ugliness has come in the form of murder by an officer of the law, of a civilian and through the video out there he never resisted arrest, now justice would be these officers involved get what they deserve, but some with the coldest of hearts and full of hatred think that taking justice in their hands is the answer, here is another news flash!!! Two wrongs do not make a right better, it only compounds the issues further, to the point it brings chaos to us all. Rioting, looting, and burning everything up is not the answer, this only shows just how much, we the people have turned on each other through all this so-called, power, control, and greed that has infected us all. This is not the vision God had when he created all of Mankind, this is not what Jesus taught us when he came to us and walked his journey here with us, We the people are not truly like this, we have learned this hatred from somewhere or someone? Our hearts are filled with the love of Jesus Christ, but somewhere along our paths of this journey, our hearts have become cold, instead of the warmth of the love of Jesus, because of all the issues we have buried deeply our true feelings and emotions, leaving us that someone that not even ourselves recognize. We the people have started all this and it’s been going on for some time now, but we the people can end this if only we truly get back to who we are, get back the warmth of the love of Jesus within our hearts, get back our true feelings and emotions we have buried for way too long. We the people need to change our ways, change our actions, feel the empathy we all have within, so the black cloud over this society will pass by and disappear, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life, in the peace and happiness we all so deserve.

 

” The black cloud that hovers above will not last forever, we have to stay strong and get back to who we truly are”

 

” Love and empathy can defeat this hatred and evil, we all need the faith to give us hope moving forward”

 

” We the people started this with our actions, we the people can end this with our actions and being truly of who we are”

 

 

The Fire burns deep within us all

We all walk a path through this journey of life, as we walk these paths there are many crossroads that we come upon, there are many storms we will walk through there are also many dark days that will overwhelm us, we will get so overwhelmed that we will then will fear many things and then become lost along our path and lose all sight of any light at the end of darkness.
We all may like sitting around a campfire with the ambiance it gives us as well as the warmth on a cloudy cool night, staring into the hot coals of the embers of the fire puts us into a deep trance that will hypnotize us into a better place, a place that we can melt away the ugliness and clouds within our judgments and leave us with a clear head that will heal us from our troubles. There is also a fire that burns deep within our soul, this fire gives us the strength to be better at all we do, as we walk our paths through this journey of life. When this fire is burning properly it makes for a happier place as we walk our paths, but when this fire goes out, now we then become troubled with many issues and become lost as we struggle to move forward through this journey.
Robin Williams was one that suffered more than we truly now as the depression ate at him from the inside out, he used his comedy to make us all laugh, so we wouldn’t see the true pain he was in, he buried this pain so deep that it put out the flames of his fire in his soul, but he used the comedy to keep trying to move forward as he walked his path of this journey. We all have our issues to some degree, we all suffer in our own way, but what truly hurts each of us more than we know, is the fact that, within this society of power, greed and ugliness, we are all guilty of hurting one another by the actions we take toward one another, we are so busy trying to get to the front, that we totally take for granted everything around us and we also over look all the true beauty that is around us as well.
With everything going around as we speak within this society, this virus that has consumed the World has also divided us and brought us all into the darkness. We the people can turn this around but we have to do so together, we need to change ourselves, so the right change will then come to this society, of which we then can move forward properly throughout this journey. This includes our so called leaders and this virus has proved thoroughly that they are so divided, that even they have stooped into the lows of the power of denial, they are so consumed with their own agendas, that they have lost sight of the true reality that is around them, they have lost sight of the ones that have put them into the offices they hold, they have becomes so corrupt that they not only can not hold themselves accountable, that they can not hold each other accountable as well. Through their corruption, their hatred of our seated President has become so strong, that they have lost the true feeling of love that is within us all. The one thing that President Trump said as Candidate Trump was, that he would drain the swamp, well he is doing just that, except the fact that we didn’t know just how deep that swamp truly was? The swamp goes so deep that, not only does it spread within the walls of Washington DC, it also spreads throughout all the leaders of the World and is exactly why, the hatred of this President is so great from our so called leaders. True that President Trump likes to chat and very true he may put his foot in his mouth from talking to much, but seriously, we have all done this a time or two ourselves, just that we also have a corrupt far left liberal media, that also has a strong hatred of this seated President, to the point that they will twist around his words, to try to turn all against him.
The fires of Hell couldn’t be more prevalent then right now in this society, they have become so hot, that they have extinguished the fires within us all, which has brought forth all this hatred and division around us, we have let Satan into our lives because we have taken God out of everything we do, which then has us all with lost faith, which then gives us no hope as we move forward within this society. With the lack of faith we then have let conspiracy theories, doubt and hateful chats take the place of hope as we try to make sense of what is around us, the fear of true change has become so strong that we do not want to go there, which the change of who we have become has totally scared the crap out of us to the point, that we have buried who we truly are deep within us and as we move forward showing only this fake self, this person that even we ourselves do not know, but Satan knows and he totally is in control, which in this society of control, totally makes sense. We need to change ourselves, change who we have become, bring back God into our lives, so we then can regain the faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, which will restore the power of the Holy Spirit within our souls, as the hope will then return to us all moving forward, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” The embers of the campfire we gaze into will hypnotize us into a better place helping to heal us from our troubles”

” Change may be scary when we do not understand, but change can also be very good especially from the inside out”

” The fires of Hell will burn us deeply with a great scar, but the fire that burns within us leaves no scar and burns very cleanly”

The current of the waves throughout this journey

This journey through life will not only throw you a curve, but it will also pull you into the current, even as you try to fight it to get out of it. When the current gets churned up by the winds above, it creates these waves that have you weave and bob your way forward, yes you can get tired real fast as you work hard at the weaving and the bobbing, through the feelings of being tired it can and will make you want to give up and what we do not know at the time, we become stronger when we keep fighting instead of giving up. When we give in and give up, now we become successive to a whole slew of other issues, which makes this journey even harder than it really needs to be.

There will be many storms that will come to us as we walk our paths through this journey of life, but each storm will pass and we will keep moving forward, sometimes with each storm, we get so caught up within the twisted whirlwinds, that we become lost with no sense of direction, we get so pushed around by the current that we become dazed and confused for the true direction of our path so we then give up and just drift in the direction of the wind, till the winds die down and stop, then we begin to try to find where we are and pick up the pieces, so we can attempt to move forward like we knew what was going on. The storms may overwhelm us as they show their fury, but when we stay true to who we are, we will weather the storm and move forward into the light of the sun and calmer days.

When Jesus came to us and walked his journey here with us, he showed us how to walk through the storm, how to have complete faith in self and in him so we then can move forward stronger, he never showed us nor did it ever come to him to show us how to give up that is totally on us with our actions or maybe in our inactions. Jesus was tempted by Satan to walk with him and leave his father in heaven, but he stayed true to his faith in himself and his father, showing us all, that having true faith will always lead us to the hope to move forward better and stronger, so we will always find the light of the path of righteousness, which then leads us to love, happiness and peace always.

 

” When life has you struggling to stay afloat, paddle harder so you find the calmer waters and smoother water moving forward along the journey”

 

” Never let the rigorous flow decide your fate, work harder and let your destiny be that of happiness, peace and smooth sailing”

 

” The storms will always cross our paths, the storms will always seem overwhelming, but with true faith, there will always be hope to pass through the storm, get through the darkness of the storm, to reach the light of the path of righteousness”

 

 

 

 

National day of Prayer

” Jesus answered and said to her ” if you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you” ‘give me a drink’, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water”

Jn 4:10

 

Basically with this passage, it is saying that we in this society have not only walked away from Jesus Christ but because of that, we also have lost the true faith and hope that Jesus gives us, when we acknowledge him and his love for us that is deep within our hearts and souls always and forever, then Jesus will always walk this journey with us, as we move forward better and stronger.

 

May we all join together in Prayer today not just for ourselves, but for each other asking Jesus to waive his healing hand over the world, so this virus that has encompassed the world, will disappear, leaving us all with good health and prosperity. Prayer is something that we have lost the faith in, now yes I get the fact that Jesus may not seem real to us in this society and I get the fact that it may be hard to have faith in someone that we have never seen, but that is what having true faith in someone or something is all about. When we have true faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, this is what gives us all hope moving forward to be better and stronger.

 

This picture shows the calm peacefulness of the water while showing the true beauty of what is around you,  very true that the water can be churned up and show us a very different picture, but when we truly feel the love of Jesus deep within our hearts and souls, truly have the faith of ourselves and Jesus Christ, then we all can see the hope of goodness always right in front of us, with zero ugliness like we see today. The love of Jesus Christ is that bridge helping us over the troubled waters when the water becomes churned up,

 

Currently, right now we are walking the forty-day journey known as Lent, which quite frankly does not surprise me that such a virus would run rampant among us, only because this should be all the proof we need to show us, just how much we have distent ourselves from the love of Jesus. When we truly feel the love of Jesus within us, this will then help us all not only be in touch with our true feelings of love but will also let us share this love with each other, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

Through love is where the quaint peacefulness comes from, with faith is where we have hope for anything, then when the waters become churned up, the storm will never last as with Jesus it will only be a passing storm that will cleanse the earth of all the bad, leaving nothing but good with the bright sunshine of all our love at every turn of this journey. May the peace of God be with you always, as the love of Jesus Christ within our hearts and souls shines as brightly as the sun on a clear day, so we all can walk our paths in peace and walk this journey together in harmony with each other throughout the world, leaving the ugliness of Satan and all the viruses behind us forever throughout this journey.

 

” National day of Prayer so we all can heal from the ugliness and become one with each other, while we renew the love of Jesus within our hearts and souls”

 

” True the waters can be churned up and become ugly, but with the faith of Jesus he can be the bridge to help us cross the churned-up waters”

 

” The forty-day journey is for us all to renew ourselves with Jesus, so we can cleanse ourselves of all the ugliness that has consumed us”

 

” With faith, we will always have the hope to get through anything that may try to knock us off course and avoid the bumps and bruises that Satan may try to inflict on us”

 

 

40-day journey well worth any sacrifice

da9b9-lent_2013_40days

 

With yet another Lenten season upon us and as the 40-day journey has begun with us going to church and having the ashes placed on our foreheads, let us all sacrifice something within our lives much the same as Jesus did, showing our faith in the Lord and we haven’t forgotten what he did for us all when he walked his journey here with us.

Jesus also walked this 40-day journey and was confronted by many a temptation, with the biggest temptation coming from Satan himself. We like Jesus get tempted by the power of temptation many times through this journey but as Jesus kept the faith in his father as well as himself, showed to us all that even with the power of temptation bearing down on our souls, when we stay true to who we are when we keep the faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, we to can overcome all temptation and no matter how hard we struggle, we can walk our paths through this journey of life, better and stronger and reach for the stars as there is no force strong enough to conquer us as we move forward, just as Jesus did throughout the 40-day journey.

The Lenten season is one of the most special times of the year, but if you have lost all faith in yourself and Jesus Christ, have become a non-believer in any kind of higher power,  then this time of year will have you wondering with no direction and susceptible to any kind of temptation that may come your way. Temptation is a very powerful force that will control everything in its path, yes it can suck you in but it will also spit you out just as fast and it really does not care for the condition it may leave you. We all will be tempted by each other as well. we see one with a lifestyle you dream of, then wonder why you can not have the same? We may try but then end up with much more issues then we can handle, when we just simply be who we truly are, sacrifice when we need to move forward better, so we then can have the strength to resist all temptation that may knock us down and keep us stepping backward instead of moving forward.

Temptation is quite simply Satan trying to take control of us all as well as everything else within this world, temptation at times will come with a sugar coating surrounded by whip cream and cherries, it will promise us the world but never deliver on its promise. When we stay true to who we are, resist all that the temptation may bring to us, never lose the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, then we can resist and conquer all that temptation may bring to us, so we may prosper and walk our paths of this journey through life, in the peace and happiness that God envisioned for us all. You can clearly see within this society of today, that there are so many that have given in to temptation, so many that have lost the faith in themselves as well as Jesus Christ and because of that we are all traveling in so many directions, that we all have lost our way and there is no GPS made that will bring us back in the right direction, only Jesus himself can do this, but as we have let Satan control us through the temptations, we do not even give Jesus a thought, let alone even having any faith at all.

So as we walk yet another 40-day journey through lent, let us walk it with a purpose, let us walk it with meaning, as we sacrifice as Jesus did, learn that when we resist the temptation that not all is lost and the world will not end, as with the total belief in ourselves and in Jesus Christ, we can get back to who we truly are, we can get back to walking our paths with confidence, so this journey through life will have a meaning once again, it will have a true direction without wandering in circles, through temptation we become stripped from being of who we truly are and lose sight of what this journey is really about. With the total belief in ourselves and Jesus Christ, we then can truly find that path of righteousness, which Jesus told us about as he walked this journey with us, but right now as we have become overwhelmed with the power of temptation, we are all walking in so many different directions, that we have lost the sight of true reality which will lead us nowhere and further away from, having any faith in ourselves or Jesus Christ.

That old saying of, ” keeping up with the Jones” is so far from the truth, but as we become tempted to do so, we find that what may be good for one, may not be good for another. This journey is full of many paths as well as many temptations, but the only way to walk this journey confidently is, to be truly of who we are and to have complete faith in Jesus Christ, as he showed us in his 40-day journey, just how much he loved us, by the true sacrifice he made for each one of us. It is not about forcing oneself and your beliefs on each other, as it is totally about loving one another, no matter of what may cross our paths and when we walk our paths correctly, then this journey through life will be that of peace and happiness for us all, so as we take stock in our lives in this Lenten season, let us all throw out what we do not need and sacrifice these things, so we then can move forward with what is important, as we then follow the lead of Jesus Christ, away from all temptation, to be better moving forward and as we show respect, dignity, and love toward one another always, throughout this journey of life.

 

” The season of lent is one of sacrifice, much like Jesus did while he showed his true love toward all”

 

” During the season of Lent, we should take stock in our lives sacrifice what we do not need and move forward better with only what we need”

 

” 40 days and 40 nights to get back to who we truly are and move forward better and stronger”

 

” Temptation is a strong force but we are stronger when we stay true to who we are”

 

 

 

 

Sometimes the best precaution is…………..” common sense”

I guess you can say that I am with Mark Levin on this one, Mark is a V-Jay on the Blaze with Glen Beck, saying that he would rather take the advice of a healthcare official and not from Pelosi or Schumer. It is pretty sad when our so called leaders have to politicize even a virus, simply because they are so far in denial, they can not see the true reality of anything they look at. Now in this day and age with all the technology and social platforms, it is very true that everything spreads like wildfire in every direction around us, tragedies and natural disasters can be seen within minutes on all the social platforms, then you add in a media that will stop at nothing to achieve their big drama agendas, now you will have anything the size of a mogul, turn into the size of a mountain or even bigger.

Now I get the fact that this Coronavirus is crippling countries with many lives being lost, but unlike what some on the left are saying, there are safety measures being taken by all the countries, but what we of today simply forget is, when we use our common sense, we then don’t need our Governments to dictate what we should do and only aid us all to be safe moving forward. This Coronavirus is spreading around the world kind of like the virus of 1918, true 99% of us were not around then and maybe very few are still here from that time, but either way, we are not going to remember what happened 102 years ago, which makes it that much more important to glance back to move forward better and stronger, as the virus from 1918 took the lives of 50,000,000 people and what the media of today will not tell you is, both these viruses originated in China, so what is wrong with knowing the truth, so we can truly help fix what we need to fix, as we all walk our paths through this journey of life.

Very true there have been many more diseases and viruses that have overcome us throughout the history of us all walking through this journey of life, so instead of being like those on the far left and pointing the finger of blame in any way that they can for their agendas, maybe we should take a look back within history from time to time, so we then can be a bit more informed, use the common sense that is within us all, as we all move forward and not backward, throughout this journey of life. Yes within this society of great technology and the fact that we the people can be so dumb, that instead of using our social media platforms for good and informing us ahead of time for what may be coming, instead, we let the far-left liberal media dictate to us through their platforms of all the drama of everything, whether that drama be true or “Fake”. It is never too late to change what we may be doing, as change is also a huge part of this journey, the change will come to us in many different ways and when we accept change and adapt to the change, then the change shouldn’t be all that scary and come with minimal pain to us all, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” Change can scare the crap out of us all, it can bring great pain as well, but when we accept and adapt to it properly can be just as beautiful than this journey of life”

 

” Precaution is kind of like preventive medicine, we document it within our brains and let common sense do its thing”

 

” Sometimes we need to glance back in time to adjust and fix what we may be doing wrong now moving forward”

 

 

 

Get to the “Heart” of the judgment

” You have heard that it was said to your Ancestors, you shall not kill and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment”

Mt 5:21-22a

 

With this quote from scripture and as we truly decipher the words, you can clearly see that each one of us are guilty of sin, so I think we all need to enter into the house of God, so we can ask for his forgiveness, so we can move forward within this journey through life, without looking back and dwelling in the troubles of our pasts, keeping us within the walls of purgatory within this life.

God created us all as equals true there are some differences, but these differences are what makes us unique to each other, now in this society, we simply do not look deep enough to see any uniqueness, we judge way to quickly and when it comes to getting to truly know one another……….. Let’s just say it may be easier to walk along the shore of the beach and watch the waves slap the shoreline alone with our own thoughts. This journey through life was meant for us all to coincide, not to be divided or bicker at each other with each turn.

The heart is front and center as the most vital of our organs, the heart can become overcome real easily, but if we treat it correctly it can also bring us much comfort and joy with feelings of warmth. The heart will see everything as all our other organs send it the signals of life, the love of Jesus is also within our hearts which brings us the warmth of life, so we can move forward with strength.

Today we take for granted so much that we do not even think about what is most important until it becomes too late, we will get caught up with neglecting what is good, only to try to fit in with what we think is normal? then we think that if we do not actually pull the trigger of the gun, then we did not commit the sin of the murder, but what we do not want to think about is, once that even has become a thought, now the signal has gone within our hearts, to which the sin has already been committed long before the trigger has been pulled and now we need to walk into the house of the Lord, so we can have God forgive us and then we can forgive ourselves and others.

“Bless me, Lord, for I have sinned”, you do not hear these words all too much anymore simply because, with a few that do not have the faith let alone believe, they will cry and say that they have been offended until another will make an amendment that will prohibit anyone from saying those words, are you kidding me? Have we stooped to this level today? I think we all should go back to the basics, go back to the beginning of Mankind, go back to a time that we couldn’t even communicate with anything around us and we had to figure it out, or we simply became just another statistic as we walked through this journey of life.

This journey may seem hard to some, but it is really quite simple and all you need to figure it out is simple Common Sense. Now other societies of the past left us with good and a lot of prosperity, but within this society and our actions, we will not leave the newest generation with the same prosperity that we received, instead, we will leave them on their own to figure out, with no base to start from and use as a guide, for their actions to take them into a journey of peace, instead of a journey full of great pain and hurt. The guide for us here in America is the Constitution, which is why we all have to read it in its entirety, each country has its own guidelines, but this is another way of us showing our uniqueness, now I get that we will want to interpret these guidelines very different, but if we do not follow our heart, then our judgments along this journey will be within the clouds throughout this journey, then the pain and the hurt, not to mention the walking of the journey with no common sense, will have us all be within the division and bickering back and forth without truly listening to anything that is around us.

 

” Don’t skip any beat as the heart is the life of all throughout this journey of life”

 

 

” The killing takes place in the mind’s eye before any action has been taken”

 

 

” The sin is made when you simply think of the action, not when you actually take the action”
