If you have to become something else in order to survive, in order to protect your loved ones, in order to protect your country…. This goes completely against Jesus example of remaining who God-made you, remaining who God wishes you to remain. And yet, there are people everywhere on this planet who have veered from “the path” -and not just to survive -or to protect I might add!!!!!😪

Our greatest asset is:

•God

Our 2nd greatest asset is:

•To remain just as God made us -under any and all conditions*

*If we did this: a lot more people would die; a lot more people would live; a lot more people would go to Heaven; and alot less people would go to hell

Which is more efficient -to dust every week or to dust every 6 months?

We’re not entirely powerless over others. Most of us simply lack the skills, the abilities, that certain (special) something.. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ And the people that have it quite often experience positive result with others..

There’s something about traveling, seeing new places that makes me feel alive. Being in one place in the morning and being in a completely different place in the afternoon.

Many people thought it was gonna be a horrendous summer in our area (again). 100 and some degree weather in May with June and July looming on the horizon -unprecedented. As it turns out, it actually cools down from may going into June and July and August. Thank you Almighty God! 🙏

That post I had forgotten earlier this morning God was gracious enough to remind me of now. Thank you heavenly father! That post I had forgotten earlier this morning God was gracious enough to remind me of now. Thank you Heavenly Father! I asked several times this morning, pleaded with Him to give them to me for His honor and glory -and for the sake of his children!

The banks give you these ridiculous, ridiculously low payments on credit cards that you could never pay off because of the interest.

If they had it their way they would have it reduced to just interest so they it’s just interest so that you never pay them off.

And then when you make a large payment -the monthly payment hardly changes.

But what I want to know is where’s the federal government and all this to protect the American Family?

I was told by someone several years ago from one of my credit card company card companies that the government is tacking on some some 6 or 7% interest on top of the banks for the bailouts I suppose.

So it wasn’t the government that bailed out the company’s it was the American public as usual*

*If you’re gonna go into business you might want to consider a business that no matter what the reason it goes under the government will bail you out. It must be real nice to have that kind of a business. You know, if the chicken business goes to all hell the government bails them out. If the beef business goes to all hell, the government bales them out.

My average credit card is at 25% and that’s considered lone sharking.

And whatever happened to the people who have the best credit getting a lower interest rate? I have great credit in my lowest interest rate is 22.9%. You call that a break?

It used to be that credit card companies gave the customer the benefit of the doubt. It used to be that they rewarded them for being a good customer. Now they want to put the responsibility and the pressure on the customer rather than on themselves. It’s like your only recourse is that if you don’t want to pay high interest rates then pay off your bill every month. Which half of us can’t afford to do -because we’re constantly under pressure to spend spend spend.

And what happened to those grace periods we used to get? I asked somebody at my credit card company that very question and they answered me that they sent out the bill 2 to 3 weeks ahead of time and that’s how it works? While they were doing the same thing 50 years ago and we had a grace. Then. What kind of a BS answer is that?

They constantly pressure the American public to get into debt and then they peen alliance us when we cannot aunt pay our bill. WTF🤷‍♂️🙆‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Cable companies get money from companies for showing their commercials and then they get money for from us to pay for commercial free TV – Think that’s cute or brilliant? Sounds like a lack of values to me. Sounds like the Clint Eastwood in the movie where he plays both ends to the middle. Like Bruce Willis in the movie “Last Man Standing”

When you and I screw up we get a late fee. When corporate America screws up we get an apology that’s that’s not even hard felt in most cases.

I had a real hard time adjusting to companies selling gas having me pay first. To me it was an insult to my trustworthiness. Companies reducing the risk on their end at our expense.

And if you thought like God in terms of infinity, and in terms of infinite love; why wouldn’t you have a continuous stream of souls going back to you and thus an infinitely large, ever-increasing family (IOW -maybe what the end is just the beginning and the beginning is just the ending- maybe the cycle of life on the whole will be infinite, while at the individual level is where “The Second-coming of our Lord and Saviour -Jesus Christ” pertains to each individual on a personal level)? In addition, why would you not have children scattered about all over the universe in different forms (afterall, you created the entire universe -and for what)? And then you have people who think The Bible cannot possibly be true because there are aliens not mentioned in it? What kind of (non-scientific) reasoning is that?

People think about the coming calm of the 2nd coming of God as this huge eventhis huge event said at some particular time in the future. But at the same time God says the kingdom of God is within us. So 🤔 -why can’t this event be taking place on a continual basis, to each one of us? The Bible states, the time is near, and yet we’ve been waiting for 2000 years. Maybe the time, and the place are near; nearer, and closer than we ourselves might like to imagine.

God doesn’t tell us everything, ndy certainly doesn’t tell us what we can’t handle -the difference between him and the government is that He literallt refrains from telling us what we cannot handle for our own good and based upon that and not some coverup for advantage.*

God never gives us more than we can handle. So how was it then that people get overwhelmed in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous?

•By putting too much on ourselves that’s how. By wanting 10 years of our life back in 10 days or 10 weeks or 10 months.

*And I can only say that there are more things than you can possibly imagine (many things he himself would be inclined to disagree with) which would be disturbing to man’s fragile nature -and thus his journey towards the light!

Is it really true that Eisenhower or Truman told an alien that we would be nothing without our problems and therefore please do not solve them for us.That is practically admission of refusal to eliminate problems from mankind! That’s easy to say when you’re at the top! Tell that to the people at the bottom!

The people at the top want more and the people at the bottom want more 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The more things you love about your life the harder it will be to give up, to let go of… to accept change.

The less things you love about your life, the more readily you tend to be with regard to giving it up -to change.

As a boy, change didn’t mean a bigger house, a better car, or a better part of town to move to. For many people there is a negative association with change. My parents didn’t enjoy a wonderful life until I was 10… It went to shit from the day I was born

These writings at times, have a tendency to come in strings… When one comes then another idea comes and another idea comes and another idea comes in another idea comes… Sometimes I will not get them written down in time and I break the string. Then another thought will come to mind as is the case now, where a different string of writings will then come to mind -I think that’s how it works 🤔

I find that people who have a “full and happy life”* often find it very difficult to break away from it and assist others in need. The key to constant thought of helping others lies in having a life* such that one craves any opportunity to get out of themselves and be of service to others.

*A life opposite of that which creates an opposing attitude towards selflessness. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

**You see, having forgotten one of the 2 writings writings that came moments ago, this being 1 of them above… The next 2 writings proceeding after this post came to mind (and any future strings of… new post, new string, or rosary… 🤷‍♂️). Now the question for me becomes… Would those writings have come to me at precisely that moment if things had been different and I would have remembered both of the writings instead of only one of them and placed them (both) on this post above? Posts which followed:

•”THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’”

•”IF I WERE A CARPENTER” 🤔

•”BELIEVE IT OR NOT” 🙆‍♂️
