” 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”

Slide 25 of 50: Workers with sanitizing equipment disinfect at the Shanghai railway station in Shanghai, China, as the country is hit by an outbreak of a new coronavirus, February 27, 2020. REUTERS/Aly Song

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”

 

 

 

The division in clear sight

a group of people sitting in front of a crowd: President Donald Trump gives the State of the Union Address in the House Chamber of the Capitol, in Washington D.C., Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020.

” A Country with its leadership in great divide will be a Country scorned and broken with zero leadership along a path”

BowlingChef

 

 

 

Last night at the SOTU address by President Donald Trump was as good a speech as I have witnessed in a long time, he nailed every aspect and accomplishments he has reached to this point, but the sad part of the night was, the Democratic party has further proved just how much in denial they are. Some of the Democrats didn’t even show up to represent, with the ones that were there couldn’t even get aboard the accomplishments of our President, now they all were most likely getting their cue from the speaker Nancy Pelosi, but if she jumped off the Empire state, I have reason to believe they would all follow to their peril as well. This is coming from someone who is an Independent and the state that the Democratic party is in right now will never vote for this party going forward.

Very true we are a country divided right now, but only because the entire Democratic party is so full of themselves, that they are creating this division with their actions, or should I say their in actions. Because of this Democratic party and the fact that they are so deep within the grasp of denial, they can not even reach across the aisle and work with their peers, which has made the walls within Washington DC become the land of the great divide, now very true that most Americans see clearly right through them and their hypocrisy, but their are some that see what they are doing and will do the same within their own little worlds. In the three short years of President Trump, he has more than lived up to his promises unlike those around him and with him as President, not only do I feel safe, but I clearly see all the good he has brought to this country while he lives up to his words, ” Make America Great Again”. You tell me something other than this Impeachment crap that the House has done………… That’s right, they have done nothing but bring more drama and hate to us all throughout this country of America.

All aboard the Trump train and if you miss the train then you will get left behind, as the train keeps moving forward regardless of all the crap around it. The Democrats do not want to get aboard not just because they are in denial, but they also want all the power and will do anything to get it, they have become like little children and when they can not get their way, then they revert to pouting and crying until we give in because we can’t stand it anymore, I have a news flash to all Democrats, there is no more giving in, either your with us and get aboard the Trump Train, or you get left behind, in your own little directionless world.

What these Democrats are doing today is everything our forefathers have protected us from when they wrote the Constitution of this great country, the problem then lies with the fact that I would bet that a high percentage of Democrats today do not even know what is in the Constitution, especially that AOC woman or the Muslim woman that came here by marrying her brother?  Corruption and hatred is what fills the walls of Washington DC today and exactly what President Trump means when he said he will drain the swamp, the swamp is deep and the swamp stinks just as much, but when all is clean and all get on the same page to work together, then this country of America will become truly great once again.

We all make choices everyday just as we made our choice to which path to follow through this journey of life, now not all choices are the right ones and we are all subject to making mistakes from the choices, but when we keep making the same mistakes and the same choices, only furthers just how deep we go within the walls of denial, then as the power of denial overwhelms us, we then lose all sight of true reality and try to make up this fake reality that only brings more pain and hurt to us, just that the denial has blinded us so, that we can not feel anything, let alone trust anybody who is around us, then there is the honesty? If we can not be honest with ourselves, then how can we be honest with anyone around us, which then leads to accountability? Same as honesty, if we can not hold ourselves accountable, then how can we hold others around us accountable?

The bottom line is if our so-called leaders can not get on the same page and work together for each of us to see, then how do they expect we the people to do so as they are the ones that are supposed to set the example. If draining the swamp means ending all the corruption and the hatred within the walls of Washington DC, then let’s all get aboard the #trumptrain and keep moving forward throughout this journey of life, for the betterment of this society, as we become stronger to make better choices and live within the peace and happiness we all so deserve.

 

” The division within a country is solely upon its leadership as the people then become divided as well”

 

” Great leaders no how to lead even through all the resistance, the corruption, and the hatred”

 

” Not everybody can be a leader and not many are born to lead but yet we all want the power that the leadership brings”

Focus in on what is around you

With focus comes everything in its place, but when you are not focused then everything becomes in such disarray, everything is like it is out of place and you constantly keep trying to rearrange things, nothing ever is right there in sight and we always are looking for whatever it is we are looking for. Life itself becomes out of whack because without focus, then even as we walk our paths of this journey, everything around us we then overlook and walk right by without looking deeply at what we are seeing.

When we are out of focus even the simplest things become very difficult to tackle, we become frustrated and out of sorts, we tend to lose faith and confidence in ourselves as we think we can not do anything, which leads to our self-esteem to become nonexistent and disappear. Without the focus, we then lose all sight of true success, the true focus isn’t just looking at something clearly, true focus comes from deep within and is what we have so we then can see clearly of everything around us.

When we are in focus as we walk our paths of this journey, we then can walk with confidence as everything we do is at the very best of our abilities, we can truly feel our true feelings and emotions, everything we tackle we do so with the utmost confidence and succeed at everything we do, our self-esteem is at the strongest it can be, as we then will do everything and anything to the best of our abilities, even if we have never done the project before, nothing we will fear as fear will never scare us, we will see everything with clarity as the focus will have us see everything around us.

Very true that this focus can be stripped from us with the life events that may come to us and as these events whether of our own actions or from the actions of another, they will have us come out of focus until we dig down deep and truly fix what we need, to regain the focus to walk in confidence once again. Depending on the event and the pain/hurt that may overcome us, we may never regain the focus as now we procrastinate in order to hide the pain and hurt from each other and we try to escape as much of the pain and hurt we can, nobody ever wants to be in the clutches of any kind of pain and hurt, as it will change us into someone for who we truly are not, but if we only handle it correctly, then we can escape the clutches much quicker, so we can get back to who we are, get back to being in focus, get back to walking our paths with confidence, then we can truly feel our true feelings and emotions and walk within this journey in the peace and happiness, that Jesus has shown us when he to came and walked his journey here with us.

Even Jesus struggled at times, but when he put his true faith in his father, then the focus came back to him as well, how else you think he sacrificed himself and put himself through all the pain and hurt, so we could be free from all the pain and hurt? Jesus suffered greatly so we shall not, but because we have lost the faith in Jesus, we now have to live with the sufferings and become out of focus of everything around us, all we truly need is to get back to having true faith in Jesus, so we then can be in focus and see clearly of all that is around us and be totally in the peace and happiness, as Jesus showed us along this journey through life.

 

” Nothing we will ever fear, as fear will never scare us”

 

” Real focus will have us look deeply into what we see”

 

” Without focus, we then will become someone for who we truly are not”

 

” When we are focused then everything around we shall see clearly as we walk with confidence”

 

 

Follow Jesus and be enlightened throughout this journey

Bill Koch owns a roughly 90-acre estate known as Elk Mountain Lodge near Aspen. He listed it in 2016 for $80 million, but has since taken it off the market.

” Come after me, and I will make you Fishers of men”

Mt: 4:19

 

 

 

We of this society would rather live in frustration for what we can not do than to truly follow and have complete faith in Jesus Christ, for he will truly lead us and never lead us astray anywhere on our paths of this journey. We of this society think that success comes from stepping on another’s shine, but true success comes from true faith in Jesus Christ to lead us to the path of righteousness, so we all can have hope moving forward with strength and be true of who we are.

Jesus Christ did not come here for himself, he came here for you and me to prosper on this journey, but yet we all within this society have gone the complete opposite of what he taught us as he walked his journey. We of this society think that we can do better at everything, that we do not need help with anything, we also think we are smarter than all those who have walked before us? We are all so confused within this society that we have lost the faith of everything that is good, which now leaves us with no hope moving forward through all the hatred around us.

This world today is so full of ugliness and hatred only because we have lost all faith in not just ourselves, but lost all faith in Jesus Christ our savior. This quote today is more than just what you may think of as being a Fishermen when you become a fisher of men, you have opened your heart and soul to Jesus Christ, you truly believe with true faith that Jesus is good and will never lead you astray, so now as you follow Jesus with your heart, you can then lead others to the same promise land, that Jesus has led you to as well. No matter how troubled you think you are, with the true faith and belief in Jesus Christ, you will always have the hope for a better and smoother path, as you walk through this journey of life.

No matter where you go throughout this planet, you can see all the corruption, you can see all the ugliness and hate, this is just how sad this society truly is today, it only goes to show just how many have lost all faith in themselves as well as Jesus Christ, which now leaves us with no hope moving forward and for those who still have the true faith, makes it that much harder for them to walk forward with confidence throughout this journey. Our so-called leaders can not truly lead anymore, even some who wear the cloth has lost this faith and have become corrupt with great ugliness, when all around us have become engulfed in this corruption, ugliness, and hatred, then where do we turn? We turn to Jesus Christ and reach down deep within, to truly feel his love for each of us, his love is always deep within our hearts and souls, just that we need to have complete trust in him, so we then can have complete faith and the hope will follow us all, all we need to do is, not only reach down deep within, but totally acknowledge Jesus, so he then can help us all no matter how troubled you think you are.

We all may walk our own paths, but the journey we walk them in is all the same, we all start out the same, then our paths bring us to different locations as some may intersect at different times, then we all have the same ending to this journey, but the biggest part is the fact that the time in the middle is where we all go wrong, especially when we lose touch with everything around us, lose touch with ourselves and most of all, lose touch with Jesus Christ our Savior. When we truly acknowledge Jesus and love him as he loves us, then no matter what trouble that may come to you, then our faith will never leave us as we will all move forward with the hope, to walk this journey in peace and happiness we all so deserve.

 

” A fisherman will catch the fish for all to eat and not starve, as a fisher of men will gather all in the love of Jesus to move forward to be better and stronger”

 

” Out of frustration we may do things not truly of who we are, out of love we can truly be of who we are”

 

” Corruption, ugliness and hatred are signs from Satan, as love comes from Jesus to help us grow in a positive way”

The journey to the top can encompass many things, it’s not just hiking within the wilderness and reaching the summit of a mountain, it is also about reaching the pinnacle of your career and working your way to the top within the company you work. Both can and will be a lot of work, one being the hike up a mountain will drain you both physically and mentally, while depending on where you work it can involve more mental than physical? No matter which journey you are on, it will bring you great rewards when you achieve all that you want to achieve, especially when you reach the summit and not only breathe in the fresh air, but totally take in all the true beauty all around you.

The journey through the wilderness on your way to the summit of the mountain will hold so much beauty around you, that it keeps all your senses in tune to everything like the birds singing from tree to tree, the branches whistling as they sway in the breeze from the air, your sense of smell coming alive as the fresh aroma of the fresh air the plants and the wildflowers make your nose tickle with envy, your ears seem to be more active and amplified as all the sounds within nature have them totally in tune with all that is around you and will have you hear even a twig snap from a good distance away, then as you look out at what you are seeing, your eyes then will have you more in focus with all that you may come across as you walk the journey to the summit of the mountain and as you reach the summit of the mountain, now you really see clearly for many miles all around you.

The journey within the path you take in your career choice is a whole lot different than the journey to the summit of the mountain, the drive you have within you so you can work to reach the pinnacle of your career is similar but different as you work hard in your career, you now lose out on the true beauty around you, as you focus solely on the job and reaching the summit within the company you work. Now we all can not reach the summit within our career choices, but we all can reach the summits of the mountains we chose to walk a path upon, within our careers and with all our hard work, now we become too tired to venture out within an adventure, we then stay within our inner circles without getting out within nature, seeing all the same things day after day, keeping the same routines from week to week, then not only taking everything for granted but totally forgetting that there is a whole lot more out there and a whole lot more beauty around us as well. True that we need the journey within our careers to make ends meet, but if we do not acknowledge all the other journeys also, now the path we walk through this journey of life, just may become boring and have us wandering, instead of actually walking with confidence, all the little journeys within this one big journey.

The journey to the top of anything can and will come with some work on our part, but that’s just it, we need to work in order to reap all the benefits no matter what the journey for which we walk. Nothing comes easy and nothing will come freely, which is why we work hard, so we then can reap all the benefits and see all the true beauty that is all around us, at every turn along our paths of this journey through life.

 

” The journey to the top comes in many different ways and will always reward us in just as many ways as well”

 

” There is much beauty all around us with the key being we just need to focus and truly look deeply into what we see”

 

” When we are out of focus then no matter what we look at will never be clear for us to see”

 

 

Within the walls of Washington DC

Slide 8 of 59: In this image from video, Senators vote to table an amendment by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., during the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2020. (Senate Television via AP)

Okay, so here we go again except this time we are within the walls of the Senate. Now I get the fact that we need the two-party system in order for all to balance out, but when the two parties just can not get together on the same page and work together, then it is time to change the Individuals within the parties so our so-called leaders can actually lead and work for the hefty salaries they are getting, not to mention the free healthcare as well.

A Politician will say whatever they can to us, just for us to like them and vote for them, then as they enter within these walls, they lose sight of everything especially what they said before we voted for them, they walk within these walls with only one purpose and that is the purpose of themselves and what they can do for themselves, including the fact that they have their hands out to whoever will pay them the highest for their vote within these walls. A true Politician does not start out this way but they learn over time of how to do this and get away with it, as most Politicians are Lawyers, a Lawyer learns over time how to take certain words and spin them, so they can best represent their clients, which they then learn how to manipulate the system the best they can, to reap themselves higher profits as the rest of us pays more dearly then just within our wallets.

Right now within the walls of Washington DC, there are two parties, one that is far on the left and so far within the grasp of denial, that they have lost all sight of true reality. Then there is another party that is on the right, but some are okay and get it, yet a lot simply have no spine, as there is no one calling out or helping these denial ridden people out of the grasp of the denial. ” The entire Democratic party is so far in denial, they have lost sight of all reality”. Simply because the President we have now did not fit their current model of what they think a President should be, you now have an entire party doing whatever they can to disrupt this seated President and totally forgetting on the ones who put them all in the offices they hold. When you are within the walls of denial the power is so great, you then become someone for who you truly are not, you live within this fake reality only because you can dictate better of what you are doing, without realizing that you are only furthering the pain of yourself and all those around you. So until the entire Democratic party wakes up out of the grasp of denial, they will never see reality as the rest of us do, for which they will keep on the road of fake reality and not seeing anything eye to eye with whoever looks them in the eyes.

This is a sad state of affairs for us all here in America, as because of the nonactions from a party so deep within the grasp of denial, they will never do anything to help us be better and stronger moving forward, for they will only try to get us to move backward as they are doing. Common Sense is another thing that while in denial you lose sight of as it becomes non-existent anywhere around you, common sense is never to common when you are within denial, only because you are so concerned with escaping the pain and the hurt, that you only think of that and will do anything to get it done, while those around you become like a figment of your imagination. This entire Democratic party is so far in denial and can only see one thing and that is to end the job of a seated President that we the people put into the office, only because he is not one of them for them to control. Even through all the crap and the denial within the walls of Washington DC, President Donald Trump is still doing the job he promised when he ran as Candidate Trump, not to mention the fact that this economy is booming with the lowest numbers of unemployment in all categories, but when you have one party within denial, no matter what this President does, they will never walk together with our President, let alone walk together with their peers, to actually do the job that they were voted in to do. The time is now to end the time of a lot of the long term Democrats within the grasp of denial, put some new bodies in there that will actually work for we the people and actually help our President to make and keep America great for all that walk this land.

 

” Denial is a strong power deep within us and so strong that it will turn us into someone for who we truly are not”

 

” There is so much corruption within the walls of Washington DC and we now have a President doing as he says when he was a candidate”

 

” We pay our leaders heavily to lead us to be better and stronger, not to fill us with more drama and corruption at every turn”

 

 

Even a Background has it’s Background

Just as this picture has a beautiful background full of tree’s and mountains, a  society with all its occupants has it’s background as well. There are so many backgrounds it can be very overwhelming to comprehend, not just we the people of a society have the background to live with, but everything around us has their backgrounds to live with as well, the background is part of our past whether we like it or not?

Now some backgrounds may come with much pain and hurt and some may be as smooth as silk? But the background is a background and they do not have to dictate how we walk our paths through this journey of life. Sometimes things happen in our past whether with our own actions or the actions of another towards us, then as we try to move forward, that makes our past become our background, whether we accept it or not? When we do not accept it and do not fix what we need to fix, now our futures become cluttered with self-doubt, lack of faith in ourselves with no hope, as we try to walk our paths. You can never erase any past no matter what, as the past is part of our background and will never go away. Now if you try to wipe out a past without addressing the background, then you will have many trying to move forward with a lot of unnecessary pain and hurt, not too mention trying to move forward not being true of who you are.

We all have a past that becomes our background with many issues and stuff we may not be proud of, but if we never address these issues and fix what we need to fix, now we have a society with many backgrounds that the pain and hurt becomes so great, we will do anything to rid ourselves from the pain, even if we then become someone for who we are not. There are a lot of good backgrounds out there, but yet there are many backgrounds that none of us can ever be proud of, with that said……… There is no background that can not be fixed, so we then can move forward better and stronger.

Throughout this society of backgrounds and pasts, we will never hold ourselves accountable whether the background was from our own actions or the actions of another, so instead, we then hide very deeply within a background that we are ashamed of, then let the shame of it all, take complete control of ourselves moving forward, when we are shamed into going into hiding, not only do we become fake on the outside, we also become fake on the inside, which then has us losing the feeling of our true emotions, to keep further pain and hurt from coming to us.

To some point, we all within this society have been shamed at one time or another, we all have at least one thing in our pasts that keep us hiding our background from each other, while we let the shame control of who we truly are. Shame is very like Denial and they both go hand and hand, they both will have you become part of a world that is not real, a world that you yourself try to make it as real as you can only to escape all the pain and hurt from the real reality. We become so lost along our paths that we never truly fix what we need, so we can truly move forward in the peace and happiness we all so deserve.

What is truly in the background you ask? There are many different backgrounds within this society and we all have very different backgrounds from each other which makes us all unique to each other. Some backgrounds are not all good with much happiness, most backgrounds come with great pain and hurt, which then has us hiding in plain sight, just to try to escape all the pain and hurt, then through all the pain and hurt we then suffer from the shame and denial of these backgrounds, without trying to fix what we need to move forward in peace, so we then move forward with how we think is the best way, which is the burying of our true feelings and emotions, becoming someone we truly are not, as we then portray ourselves as okay, when in reality we are not.

The many facets of a background may come in many ways and within a society of many, now there are many backgrounds all around, but what we tend to overlook is, a background can be adjusted with the right fix, just that we have to want the fix, so we then can move forward along our paths, throughout this journey of life to be better and stronger with each step we take.

 

” A background is a past and you just can not erase a past to make the background better”

 

” Even Natures background isn’t all Roses, it to will come with some tragic events as well”

 

” We all have our backgrounds and we all have our pasts, they do not have to dictate how we walk through this journey of life”
