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”

 

 

 

 

The many Gaps throughout this journey

These rocks have many gaps with one main gap, which is the one that the water flows through and down forming the falls, no matter where we may look, there are many gaps all around us, with the biggest gap being between each one of us also known as the ” Generation Gap”. The Generation Gap can be so very far apart or it can be closer than we would like, but none the less there is a Generation Gap of the entire Human race whether we learn to accept it or not?

The Grand Canyon has many big gaps from one side to another, just as we as well like, the younger generation and the golden year’s generation, now unlike what some may want to accept, those in their golden years are definitely more experienced along this journey, now true that they may not have all the answers as they also might not have taken the same path through this journey, but also very true that they also have walked this journey and have seen many moons, as well as many sunsets and sunrises as well. Throughout this journey of life for some reason or another, we tend to think we ourselves have all the answers and that we know more than the other and with that, we then think that even with the path we walk and that no other has walked the same path, that we know everything and the rest need to learn from me? There is so much we all need to learn of this journey if only we could set aside our differences, then just maybe we all could coincide as we walk our paths, through this journey of life in the peace and serenity we all so deserve.

There are so many Gaps from time to time we will step within them instead of over them, some of these Gaps are quite deep and can hurt very deeply as well, which is why it is just as important to pick ourselves up properly, or the pain will overcome us so much that, we may never walk through this journey correctly because we then let the pain dictate how we walk, instead of us dictating just how we step on our paths of this journey through life. For us to step over the gaps is a lot different than the water flowing down the gaps and over the rocks, then down into the pool below, now we may not be able to flow like the water over the falls, but we can flow just as easy along our paths when our steps along the path we chose, don’t become too spread out and force us to get out of sync with what is around us.

The Waterfall of life so gracious as it flows along the path of its journey, one of the many beauties we can see when we step outside and take an adventure, then as we see all of its beauty, we then can heal ourselves of all our troubles and pain, so we can move forward to be better and stronger always throughout this journey, there are many gaps throughout this journey, it is when we let the gaps dictate the way we walk our paths, that makes the journey a bit rougher than it should be, but when we dictate how we step over the gaps, then it is as easy as one foot in front of the other.

 

” The Generation Gap could be wide or it could be narrow, so no matter what we all still need to coincide to move forward better and stronger”

 

 

” The Grand Canyon has many Gaps as it is the Gaps that stand out through all else”

 

 

” The beauty of a waterfall within the mountains is as beautiful as it gets with no question”

 

” With the many Gaps along the journey never let the gaps dictate of just how you walk your path”

 

 

 

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

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”

 

 

Death we can not avoid

Death is one of those facts of life that will affect us all no matter where we are along our paths of this journey, whether death comes to ourselves personally, a loved one or something around us, death will change you in more ways than you really know.  Death is something that is permanent, you can not get it back as now the soul-deep within you, will leave you cold and lifeless. Death affects everything around us also, the plant life is just as alive and vibrant as we are, as they will face the cold dark days of death. Animal life no matter the species as alive as they are will face the dark cold days of the death, whether we accept death or not, it will bring us into the dark cold days of lifelessness and the time when this journey through life has come to an end.

Sometimes death will come along sooner than later for whatever reason? There are many diseases that may overcome us like the big one known as Cancer, then there are things known as natural disasters that will bring a tragic end to the journey also, but the biggest thing that I may never wrap my head around is, why the hell do we hurt each other whether physical or mentally and sometimes to the point of, making us either someone for who we truly are not or even worse………… we leave another in our wake with their cold, dark, lifeless bodies, lying there in a motionless state.

Within this fast-paced society of today, we are so busy getting busy, that we never take the time to get busy exploring and actually live our lives along the path that we have chosen. There is so much to our paths that we never truly enjoy it, which then leads us to a journey that really hasn’t been that well-traveled.  Some may never even step outside their comfort zone and really get busy exploring what is around us, so we can be at peace and learn all that we can, instead of being stuck in one place just getting busy being busy.

We can either get busy exploring and truly being in touch with our true feelings, or we can get busy dying and never being in touch with anything, there is a whole lot more to this journey through life, that if we do not get busy doing anything, then this journey will never become a journey as Jesus Christ showed us while he had walked this journey here with us and taught us that, through love along this journey then we can actually stop and pause to look at a journey traveled correctly. We only walk one path through this journey, so why not do it correctly, instead of stepping on another man’s shine and messing it up, as we then walk our paths with a purpose, while we are surrounded by the peace and serenity, of a journey well-traveled.

 

” Get busy living or get busy dying the choice is ours to make throughout this journey of life”

 

” Never step on another’s shine as that shine you may have scuffed up just might have been a great explorer of this journey”

 

 

 

Fat Dumb and Stupid is no way to walk through this journey of life

a group of people sitting at a table in front of a crowd: Constitutional law experts Noah Feldman, Pamela Karlan, Michael Gerhardt and Jonathan Turley testify during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Dec. 4, 2019.

The entire Democratic party is so far in denial they all have lost sight of all reality and these so-called hearings within the walls of Washington DC prove just that. Those of us who are Independent and actually have common sense can clearly see through all the corruption, we clearly can see that this goes a lot deeper than the hatred of a seated President, this is nothing more than one party wanting all the power and they will do anything to get it, even if it means making an entire country into the laughing stock of the World.

Very true we are all human and no one is perfect, we all make mistakes but when we don’t learn from our mistakes to move forward better, will only have us taking steps backward with no direction and when we have no direction will further the power of denial to overtake our being, which then will have us in our own little world of fiction, instead of walking our paths in reality along this journey.

Denial is a strong powerful force that will control every fiber of our being when we don’t take control of it, it will also turn us into someone for who we truly are not, become bitter and full of hatred of everything, especially when we do not get our way. In denial not only do we lose sight of reality, but we also lose our hearing to listen to the voice of reason, as we think nothing of the fact that we are doing anything wrong. While in denial and instead of truly fixing what we need to fix, we then procrastinate and putting it off as non-important and not being proactive, so we can fix our issues and move forward better as we walk our path of this journey.

We have this Holiday coming up and one of the most beautiful of Holidays at that, Christmas time should bring out the love that is within us all, instead of bringing out all this hatred of each other. Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus Christ, the only son of God our father, the one who created us and all that is around us. Jesus came to us and walked his path of this journey while teaching us many things, showing us how to truly feel the love in our hearts and sharing it with each other, while he truly led us to the path of righteousness, so we all could see the true light and be within peace and happiness always.

The problem with all this corruption and hatred within the walls of Washington DC is, we the people for letting it go on for too long, instead of voting with common sense and actually making a well-informed vote, we let way too many Politicians stay in office for way too long, which did nothing but turn these Individuals into everything that the office they held was against, They hold their hands out for all the kickbacks, as when they first came into office they had little in the bank and now they can afford a very exotic and plush lifestyle. The time is now for real change and ending the power of denial that has consumed the entire Democratic party before it ends each of us as we know it, time for us all to wake up out of our own little worlds and get back to reality, for the good of Mankind, so we all can move forward better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” The hatred is so deep for the President of the United States that some have no clue of true reality”

 

” Denial is a strong force that will control every fiber of our being, so let’s take back the control and put to bed the denial”

 

” Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus Christ our savior and the love within us all”

 

” This is a special time of year where we all share our love with each other and not show any hatred anywhere on this journey”

 

 

 

The view from the top of the Mountain

” Climbing to the summit of the mountain may take time and work, but the reward at the summit makes all the work well worth the trip”

 

You know as we walk our paths through this journey of life, there is nothing that is handed to us, the path is not lined with rose petals or as smooth as silk, quite often the thorns from the Roses are what we have to navigate around, and those thorns will prick us to have us feel the pain with our blood leaking out within the paths that we walk. Just as the climb up the mountain takes work, so does the walk on our paths through this journey of life.

The walk up the mountain will come with some obstacles to overcome, with each step along the trail, there will be very different views and very different outlooks of those views, we may meet up with a wild animal that may force us to do things we normally would not, then there are the streams that need to be crossed hopefully without getting wet? Then there is the weather that can change in the blink of an eye, especially the higher you are on the mountain, There is so much to the hike up the mountain, but as we reach the summit with such amazing views, all is forgotten as we enjoy what we see at the top of the mountain.

The paths of this journey very much like the climb up the mountain will come with its obstacles and hurdles, yes we do have to navigate around them and they will also knock us down as well, but it is never about the way we fall, as it is totally about the way we pick ourselves up from the fall. We all will have our own outlook and view things differently from one another, but this should never deter us from walking this journey correctly, there may be many paths and roads that we may cross and as we cross these roads, there will be others that may try to get in our way, but staying true to who we are will help us stay strong, as we move forward across the paths and the cross-roads, without going backward with much pain and hurt. There will be so many unknowns along this journey,  they can throw us many curveballs, which makes for a bumpy journey if we do not fix what we need to fix and keep moving forward toward the peace and happiness, that Jesus showed us when he came and walked his journey here with us.

Every path may not be the same, but the journey for each of us has the same beginning as well as an ending, it is what’s in between the beginning and the ending that can and will either give us spectacular views, or have us see nothing through the clouds of our judgments.

 

” Climb the mountain to the summit they said, but they never said a thing of the view from the summit”

 

” The deeper you may look, the further you shall see”

 

” The hurdles may knock you down, but should never determine of how you pick yourself up from the fall”

 

 

Just go for a walk they said………

Just a simple little walk within nature and in the mountains can result in a strenuous hike with the grandest of views as your reward, for stepping out of your comfort zone to experience such great beauty. The breathtaking views from the summit after a grueling days hike, that’s what hiking is all about, in some cases after a long day on the trail, there are huts to get a good meal, rest and some good sleep, for the next day on the trail. These huts within the mountains have great hospitality, as well as some of the best food you can get deep within the middle of the wilderness, as it hits the spot of all the weary Hikers that come across these huts no matter of where they are.

As I sit atop Cannon mountain by way of the Kinsman trail/lonesome lake trail, this range I look upon is Franconia ridge trail and one of the best ridges that the white mountains of New Hampshire have. There is a lot of great hiking in the white mountains, with a lot of great views as well, but the best part of the hiking is, being one with nature, to heal the mind, body, and soul from all the corruption, chaos, ugliness and the hatred that is all around us within the society of today.

Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, step outside within mother nature to experience all the true beauty all around you. There is so much more to this journey through life and unless you wander into places that may have never been touched by man, then you truly will never experience the beauty known to man as God’s country.

You need not go climb a mountain to experience the beauty of mother nature, you can also step outside onto a nature trail, like maybe a trail around a lake, these kinds of trails will have you outside and seeing things you normally would never see, unless you step outside your comfort zone to see them. It is okay to explore and not only see new things but learn new things as well, which will broaden your horizons. as you then heal from all that may bring you much pain and hurt.

We all get so stuck within our comfortable ruts to the point we never step outside, as we fear more that the pain and hurt will overwhelm us. A comfortable rut is that place we put ourselves to keep from more pain and hurt, that place where we suppress deep within our true selves, instead of just being true to ourselves, so we than can heal deeply of our pain, to relieve our mind, body, and souls. The problem within this world of social media is, we are not that social with each other, only we hide behind our technology devices, without any face to face interactions, then we stew within our comfortable ruts, instead of stepping out within mother nature to heal ourselves properly. We all need that downtime, that time to defuse and ease ourselves from the broken society out there, the human body wasn’t made to keep up the mach speed pace, we were also not made to hide behind our technology devices, as we need to be truly social with face to face interactions, so we then can be true to who we are, showing our love of each other always, being kind to one another with no hatred in our sights for us to trip over.

 

 

” Just go for a walk to defuse, relax and learn new things within the beauty of mother nature”

” Most of the time the hard work is well worth it when the reward is even greater”

” We become encompassed in our comfortable ruts to keep from further pain or harm”

” Step outside of our comfort zones to explore learn new things and grow healthier with more happiness along this journey of life”

 

 

The quiet serenity of the journey

The crisp cool air and the smooth waters, you can hear the paddle cutting through the water with each stroke, you embark on the water for the daily journey into the unknown. Life’s journey is full of unknowns as we walk our paths, but if you never get out and explore, you shall never uncover any of the unknowns and never truly experience any of the beauty that is truly around you.

Within this society, we all get so wrapped in, we forget that there is so much more to this journey, we get so wrapped up in the drama, the ugliness, and the hatred, that we then become someone for who we truly are not, with so much more to explore within this journey, we would clearly see that there is a whole different world out there, unlike what we see within the everyday parts of our lives.

Everything changes, we the people change, we need to be able to adapt to all the changes or this journey will leave us all behind. Some would rather be stuck within all drama and the hatred, simply because we think that is all there is? There are many little journeys within this big journey through life, if you never get out and explore, you will never find any of the little journeys, that will totally help you heal from all the pain and hurt from a society that does not really care for you. from reasons that are beyond me, most within this society will step on another’s shine and won’t even miss a step of their own. We take so much for granted in this society today, we forget to get out and explore all that is truly around us.

There are some out there that think they know everything and they have all the answers, seriously now nobody has all the answers except Jesus Christ, but even a few do not even think he is real, Jesus came to us and walked his journey here with us, he showed us how to walk our paths as we show our love for one another and in the eyes of Jesus, there was never any hatred no matter of who you were. The hatred comes from us and is learned from us, we are our own worst enemies and we can fix this if we really wanted to, Jesus showed us how to walk our paths so we then can get to that path of righteousness, but we are so stubborn and so set in our ways, that we then can not see clearly enough through the clouds of our judgments.

When we take our vacations we then follow others as we go to places that are still full of chaos, ugliness, and hatred, then complain further that our vacation wasn’t really a vacation? We won’t even think of getting out to explore in places that have never been touched by man, simply because we have become so naive that, we think these places do not exist? These places are there and we just have to open our minds up to everything and not walk our paths with these blinders on from all that is around us. Some may not be able to get out as they suffer from a chronic illness that is out of their control, some may have suffered great pain and hurt from another, that keeps them hiding deep within and too scared to get out and explore, but if only we get out and explore the beauty within mother nature and the true beauty from places that have never been touched by man, we will never find the true peace and serenity that will heal us deeply from all the pain, the hurt and the sufferings from the world within this unforgiving society.

Let the paddle cut through the water as you move forward along the water, keep your eyes open as you never know what may be lurking in front of you, keep your ears open to all the sounds within nature, for you just might hear things that you have never heard before. We have become so accustomed to the sounds and scenery of the cities, that we have zero clues on the true sounds of nature, the only way to change that is to get out and explore, change the error of our ways, so we then can truly be of who we truly are and truly see all the beauty that is around us, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

 

” Get a canoe or a kayak and get out within nature to explore the true beauty all around us”

” Never get too stuck within the error of your ways to the point you never get out and explore all that is around you”

” There is a lot more to this journey than all the ugliness, the corruption, the hatred, and the pain and hurt brought by all this”

” The true sounds of nature will heal and bring much-wanted peace and serenity to us all”

Slide 10 of 15: FILE - In this Aug. 1, 1966, file photo, smoke rises from the sniper's gun as he fired from the tower of the University of Texas administration building in Austin, Texas, on crowds below. Police identified the slayer as Charles Whitman, a student at the university. The new documentary "Tower" about the shooting spree captures a sense of terror and confusion that was unprecedented then as it has become chilling commonplace today. (AP Photo/File)

“1966: University of Texas shooting
Charles Joseph Whitman, 25, goes on an armed rampage at the University of Texas in Austin that killed 14 people, most of whom were shot by Whitman while he was perched in the clock tower of the main campus building. (Whitman, who had also slain his wife and mother hours earlier, was finally gunned down by police”

Unfortunately, as we walk our paths  through this journey of life, there will be some rough times, there will be some ugliness, corruption, and hate, but unlike those on the left today care to admit and especially those within the left bias media who spew all the fake news today, you are going to have a few mentally deranged Individuals running around without their meds, simply because when a Government needs to make cuts to save their budgets, the first place they go is the mental health field, then those of us within the society are the ones that feel the true pain and hurt from that.

There was a time when a lot of the mental institutions closed because there was no money to fund, so a lot of patients were either left out in the cold or quite simply, jammed all into one institution and forgotten as if they never existed. The ones left out in the cold had no meds nor did they have a schedule for the meds as the institutions mandated, which left us to deal with these Individuals as those within the Governments had no care for these people, cause they didn’t fit into their agendas.

Now it is of no fault to the mentally challenged as those within the walls of the Governments are to blame because their agendas have nothing to do with taking the proper care of the mentally challenged. Those of us who actually have a conscience totally feel bad for these Individuals, as the rest show no feelings at all, they would rather make the cuts to the institutions instead of to their budgets, so they can keep bringing the corruption and hate to the rest of us. These Individuals within the walls of the Governments and especially today would rather push forth a different agenda, which would be to disarm the rest of us, blaming the whole problem on the guns of the mass shootings. I have a news flash for all within our Government and those within the left bias media, it is not the guns causing the mass shootings, it is the mentally deranged Individuals that have issues to address, but because there is so much red tape for the mental institutions, these Individuals stay on the outside, to reak havoc and ugliness to the rest of us within this society.

These mass shootings have been happening over and over throughout this journey, but those on the left with their socialist agendas would rather point the finger of blame, to avoid taking any action. Those on the left are so deep within the grasp of denial, that they have lost all sight of true reality, so instead of seeing the writing on the wall, they totally ignore the fact of the wall even being there. The hatred of our President today is so great by those on the left, they simply can not see clearly through the clouds of their judgments, then it is the rest of us that end up feeling the brunt of that hatred, as the left has no clue of what they are doing.

You want to truly end all this corruption, hatred and ugliness? It takes each one of us throughout this society to come together, we all need to be on the same page and not some saying they have all the answers when they have zero clues of what is truly going on. Simply because there are some that are in search of all the power of all, the rest of us feel the brunt, the pain, and the hurt, without those few even giving the rest of us the time of day. You want ” real change”, this is the real change we all need moving forward, not the same rhetoric that those on the left keep spewing year after year, we all may take separate paths, but we are all on the same journey through life, Jesus Christ even came to us and showed us how to walk this journey correctly, in order to get to the path of righteousness, it is time we all truly follow in his footsteps, so we all can live in the peace and happiness Jesus showed us, as well as sharing his love with each other always, burying the hatred forever.

 

” There will always be unfortunate times on this journey until we smarten up and just be ourselves always”

” Guns do not kill people, only a deranged individual with issues pulls the trigger of that gun”

” There is no place for any agendas especially when they affect the rest of us in a negative way”

” Jesus came to us showing his love for each and every one of us regardless of who you are, we repay him by losing this love for some stupid agenda”
